Dyl 4 Report post Posted September 27, 2013 So Phil and I went for a hoon in the M3s yesterday and came back with some photos (thanks Phil - the master on the camera). So here goes.... introducing my new E46 m3 (which no doubt you recognise)! I have had it for a few weeks now and it has seen some intensive grooming including clay bar, 3M teflon polish and hand glaze. I'm having a great time with it, intend to do a few things to it to bring it back to 'fresh of the assembly line' standard and look forward to seeing everyone soon. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaveO 47 Report post Posted September 27, 2013 Very nice car you have there. I was so close to buying this one myself. The colour grew on me ALOT. Unique, bright, just like a sports car should be. Looks way better in your photos than it did on Tristan's trademe listing Looks like the clay bar etc did its job! What camera did you use for your photos?

Neal 512 Report post Posted September 27, 2013 Colour looks great on the M3. These cars are great. I'm two years into owning mine and still get a kick out of driving it every day Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What camera did you use for your photos? ---- But yes, very good photos! I need to learn aperture priority (?) Is that the style with the blurred background or is that post-edited?

DaveO 47 Report post Posted September 28, 2013 Hahaha, not WAY better I was just kidding around I think when you upload to trademe it loses a lot of quality as well. Would have shot been a different/better lens. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dyl 4 Report post Posted September 28, 2013 The photos were taken by Phil75 (a professional) on his mega ultra super exceed grand custom extra camera. I'll have to get him to chime in at this point. That's where my expertise ceases. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted September 28, 2013 Well done Dylan, very nice car. Hope to see you at a trackday soon, uncles club season has just started BTW. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
philwalter 30 Report post Posted September 28, 2013 Nah, not worked post. I shot all the photos using my 85mm f1.2 - all shot wide open, hence the shallow DOF. Dylan's car is amazing. We went for a wee drive on some backroads, me in the E46 and Dylan in my E30. First time I'd driven a E46 M3, was a very enjoyable experience. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
