She's a beaut. Unfortunately, I'm at a loss of how to take good car pictures. Tips would be mighty appreciated. I also tried out selective coloring using the history brush.
In other news, thank god gas has gone down because a 4.4L V8 running supreme ain't cheap.
congrats... it was my favorite a number of years ago. I still prefer this design above the new Chris Bangle design. I have had one for 3 years, but with a much smaller engine... A really wonderful car.

I think the E39 body style is the best looking 5 series. The new E92 3'ers are gorgeous but I'm not digging the 2004-2008 5 series body style (can't afford one either )
Car shots work well with very early or very late in the day sun (sorta like landscape shots). You could also get a car mount, drag the shutter, and shoot yourself driving. Slave a speedlight inside the car or just put a hot light on the seat. Shoot at the beach, in a warehouse area, on a scenic overlook, etc.
My black E36 M3 Coupe doesn't get out of the driveway much these days, but it's a joy to drive nonetheless, even though its a de-tuned, U.S. market version.
My wife's truck is in the shop (some idiot hit her last week) so, being a nice guy, I agree to drive the rental - a family VAN. Boy how I miss my 325xi. I forgot how floaty other vehicles are as opposed to feeling like you're on rails. Enjoy the power of that bad boy.
Yeah, he photoshopped the 'boom' out. I'm learning more and more about rig shots, and have done about 10-15 shoots, so I'm still new. But what I've learned is MOST angles on the rig shots are perfect. I'm not a fan of the side/profile view of the car, however.
