ChrisM135i · 12-05-2008, 12:17 PM

wow.. very impressive shots!
You´re a very lucky guy.. not everyone has a friend who can take such great pics!

azentropy · 12-06-2008, 08:25 AM

Very nice!
I'll be keeping an eye out for high res versions!

mrgoochio · 12-06-2008, 10:25 AM

Really nice shots, the camera work and post processing is top notch

Novator · 12-06-2008, 11:11 AM

Really high quality shots, looks like something I'd expect from an automotive magazine. I'm really impressed. You should submit your photos for the 1Addicts calendar

Rawhide · 12-06-2008, 10:09 PM

Awesome pics. Love that color!

DBCPerformance · 12-06-2008, 11:03 PM

awesome

DCD · 12-07-2008, 05:55 PM

Thanks guys!
Ha the photographer but the pics up on a local NZ Honda forum showing off his skills and all it got was a whole lot of hate about the car. Sorry guys looks like NZ's Honda scene doesn't like the 135!

One&Only · 12-07-2008, 06:24 PM

IMHO...nobody makes a gray like BMW....simply beautiful!

Dr_Jones · 12-07-2008, 08:09 PM

Aahhh Sh!t

Standard on 135's Downunder :smile:

I guess we've got to get something cool for the hefty price premium we pay.

Caduceus · 12-08-2008, 01:42 AM

Terrific shots. I understand that you want to obscure your number plate in the shots but I think it would look better if the mask applied in the post-processing was black to match the background colour on your plate.

The white mask is a little distracting.

stonecrusher · 12-08-2008, 03:05 AM

Aaaaah - my old hometown. Makes me feel quite nostalgic. CF wing mirrors and spoiler look great with the space grey. 2 more weeks till I get mine - can't stand it any more!

+1 to that... I'm thinking I might be switching over to SG/CR from AW/CR after seeing these!

135i_jaijai · 12-11-2008, 11:59 PM

nice pic... i wish i know someone who will take some pics for my car as well.. haha

Blacky · 12-12-2008, 01:41 AM

Sweet as Bro

Nice pictures and nice looking car.

However if I was going to go to all that effort to take some sensation photos of my prized ride I would take the number plates off first.

My opinion only and as I say sweet ride.
Choice!!!!!!!!!!

AussieRacer · 12-12-2008, 03:20 AM

Superb!

What's your thoughts on the BMW Performance Exhaust?

DCD · 12-14-2008, 05:03 PM

Blacky: Yeah I could have done, but the car has a large number plate holder in the front that has big black gaps that looks hideous. Also we were driving around on public roads in the middle of the day for a lot of the photos. Gotta have a plate on in NZ for that kind of thing.

Aussie Racer: I'm really liking the exhaust. I used to enjoy having really loud cars but I wouldn't want it any louder than it is. I didn't want my car to sound like some riced up kids car with a fart cannon. The sound is nice and deep with a bit of a wail at higher revs, I think it's perfect. Not the most power gain, but I figure I'll get a jb3 if I want more power

Vincent · 12-17-2008, 05:37 AM

DCD

Are you still happy with the coral red and space grey combination. I am trying to decide whether to go with black or red interior. The red looks great and the space grey looks great and your photos look great but I continue to wonder about the black.

I'm 50. Should I be going more conservative ? Acting my age for a change ?
