Professional photos of my AW M2 (HRE / M Performance / Akrapovic)

metrickid · 05-05-2017, 01:25 PM

So I just realized I never posted the shot a friend of mine did of my car for a magazine. We shot these last summer but the magazine wasn't released until January so they couldn't be shown before that.

These are edited to mimic the look BMW had on their 1-series LCI release photos.

These are taken by Dejan Sokolovski (www.dejansokolovski.com / Instagram.com/dejjisch) that works as a car photographer for some of the big manufacturers out there. Under no circumstances are these allowed to be used by companies to promote their products without permission from Dejan. If you share these on the internet please credit Dejan too and tag him if you share them on Instagram.

Car is rolling on M Performance suspension, has various M Performance parts, Akrapovic exhaust and 19" (9" fronts, 10" rears) HRE R101 in Satin Black.

On to the photos - I love the last one.

Absolutely fantastic and well modded.

HRE really needs to make a flow formed wheel that looks like that forged set.

Those wheels are amazing.

Please keep the pics coming. One of your original pics before you got the HRE's with just the MPS was what made me decide to put down a deposit. I'm still waiting for an allocation and will most likely go with AW which your car directly influenced. I'm living vicariously through your posts until I get mine, lol.

Here's the pic that started it all for me

Great shots, beautiful car. It is amazing how a pro that specializes in automobiles can convey the spirit of the car they are shooting. A few years back I hired an NYC area pro to shoot my M3 and still look at the pictures he took regularly and smile.
