Quick Photoshoot - Sedona Red 135i

Hey guys, What do you do when its Saturday and you're bored? Camera, Car and shoot. Not a expert at these things so they are only quickies - no Photoshop etc. Cars still for sale so let know if theres interested parties. Also the Sedona paint is a Bitch to photograph, but I hope you'll all enjoy these.

































This is what I mean about the colour..... its totally different and hard to capture well under sunlight.

Some good shots there.

Metallics can be a real bitch to shoot, Sedona is tricky, similar to VO, different light different outcomes. Do me a favour though, selling as you are, clean the bloody engine

(those interior shots are some of the best ones I've seen BTW)

Thanks guys... Yeah Sedona looks fantastic when it's captured well. People with white cars get it easy.... And Alpine sorry about the engine I know it's rank lol.

Those interior pics remind me of GT5 style.

Nice photos. Question about the blackened kidney grille, is that standard on the 135i? Is the chrome one available? Think I prefer the chrome but I see so many cars without it.

Hi Andrew, the one I have are cyba grilles in matte black. The OEM ones for the 135i are chrome indeed. I believe the lower models i.e 120,125 etc have chrome surrounds and matte black centre fins. The BMW Performance ones are gloss black. To be honest it took awhile for me to like the black ones too.... however in person it looks so much better than the originals. Hope that helps.

Correct me if I'm wrong Honny, but aren't some of those photos the ones you took of your car on new years eve?
I could see you from my balcony taking photos late that afternoon.
I think the colour looks best in the shots that are taken across the road from your house.
Good luck with the sale. Still wish you were getting an M3 and not a GTR.

Haha Colin were you stalking me? Joking - I did do some on new years too when my mate came over, infact the shot of the moving tacho is was from NYE. Anyhow since we live so close maybe we should do a photoshoot together sometime.

GTR it is mate, paid a deposit on one already.

Thanks Andre! I adore this colour.... I know its not everyones cup of tea but I think it suits the 135i's character well. Plus, as you would of know chicks t-o-t-a-l-l-y dig it.
