A couple of my amateur videos also taken today, colour is much closer to reality.

The 1M MotoGP Pace Car..... HOT looker!

Zuzu · 04-15-2011, 05:56 PM

Thanks for the pix mate..

You have taken some of the best shots of the VO so far...Love the factory tints..Thank god I ordered them.
How does it look in person?? Hopefully not in your face..

sparoz · 04-15-2011, 07:06 PM

Thanks for the pics!! All the different shades of VO really shows - now, just waiting on the akra exhaust!

alik01 · 04-15-2011, 08:10 PM

I've been patiently waiting for these shots! Most of the other pics pretty low quality. Really shows all the detail nicely and VO looks awesome.

Love the stance of the lower MotoGP car and those gorgeous Akra tips!

MrBlonde · 04-15-2011, 08:17 PM

Great photos! I dig the orange stitching

WAY · 04-15-2011, 08:48 PM

Looks good John! These are the best pics of VO and I'm glad I got that colour. Awesome! Can't wait to get the real thing!

gazz · 04-15-2011, 08:55 PM

Thanks for the effort Alpine. What's your impression of the car's proportions? Many internet pics and vids show the car as sitting quite high, is this borne out in its presence? It's hard to tell but the white safety car appears to have far less orange peel than the VO. Maybe the VO is a pre-production model. Love those tips. Maybe my first mod.
I suspect that the aftermarket will have a ball with this car. Hmm - if I were considering an M3, and I was until I heard about the 1M, the prospect of a very modded 1M for the same price or less would be very hard to resist. I mean just look at that safety car. I prefer more of a sleeper look but I can certainly see the appeal for those inclined. BMW really should bring out a competition version of this car. Or at least a race conversion package.

WAY · 04-15-2011, 09:18 PM

What is that thing on the right hand side of the gear stick John?

gazz · 04-15-2011, 09:20 PM

^ Mount for a cup holder?

That's what I thought too. Much better some of the ones you see in the coupes.

Thanks everyone. Took some 340 pics all in HD. Was hard to show the VO in it's true light. It is a truly remarkable colour. Regarding the stance of the car, my wife and I both agree it is a little high, particularly in the front. Some discrete lowering wouldn't go astray. You are correct about the thing on the right of the console, it is the mounting point for a cup holder.

Oh yeah, the Akra tips were massive!!!!
