What camera did you use to take those pics?!? Why did you have to do that, because I'm now stronger considering getting Terra over Grey! And that Clear Bra looks completely 100% invisible. Wow, wow, wow!

Some of the best pics I've seen of the e90.

bcaslis · 08-28-2005, 05:32 PM

Thanks! The clear bra is almost invisible, the biggest thing is the surface isn't the same shine as the metal but it's not a huge difference. I don't know yet how it will age, but you do need to walk right up to it to tell it's there. Terra is very nice (I really wish they offered an Imola Red interior or at least the lemon they offer in Europe). Grey is very nice and would go better with wood trim in my opinion than Terra. But I think Terra goes better with Aluminum trim which I wanted. The camera was a Canon 1D Mark II. However any recent digital SLR from Canon or Nikon can produce about the same quality image.

I getting the same color combination, but I would like to see a picture with with the driver door open, but you can still see the full body of the car. If you have one, can you post it?

Thanks.

Hey! Why's your black so shiny?? Do you use any special product on it?? Zaino? I"m new to the whole zaino thing...

THANKS

bcaslis · 09-04-2005, 12:09 AM

I'm not sure if you were directing this at me. But if you were, I don't have a picture exactly like that. But this picture shows the outside and the sun is shining inside so you can see some the top of the seats pretty well to compare the colors.

If you mean me, then yes I've just Zaino on it. I never heard of the stuff until I got my 2001 330i, but it's pretty good. Find out more here.

I have a photo now that shows what you want. However, the inside is dark otherwise the exterior would be very overexposed. You can see it here:

Canon S70 (7.1mp). Picture quality not quite SLR-class but it's a great compact camera.
