E30 + E90 Photoshoot

sirdaft1 · 03-31-2013, 08:35 AM

We had our first nice day of weather yesterday here in Chicago on Friday (finally!). So a buddy and I went out for a drive. He drives a cleaaaan '89 E30 and I've got the SGM '07 E90. We stopped off for a photo shoot at a local parking garage, but unfortunately they still had the top deck roped off. We could only shoot under the cover of the garage- which presented some unique lighting challenges without having strobes to shoot with...

I just realized that I was obsessed with shooting the E30 (so clean!!!), so here's the E90 from a few weeks back...

I'm by Tinley Park.

i think there is another big meet around April 6th, if you're free you should come. The more E90's the merrier.

Working on it. I just picked up the E90 bone stock two weeks ago. It had some nasty stock 16's. The day after I bought it I picked up the 162's, tires and blacked out grills. The stock halo's are on their way out and I'm in the market for some OEM blacklines tails.

I'm not quite convinced of the LCI tail conversion being worth the $$$ for now. But we'll see...

Any other mods I should add to the immediate mod list?

Grktiag · 03-31-2013, 10:34 PM

No joke on how clean that e30 is.
