Everytime I see metrickid AW M2 I really like the white. But honestly (not to rip on ANYONE!) everyone else's AW M2 doesn't look nearly as sexy. Amazing camera work. But makes me nervous that it looks better in your pics than in real life lol. I have an AW m2 on order....daaaaahhhh

Apart from my car looking a bit "meaner" on photos as it is lowered I myself think I can't capture how mean it actually looks in real life at all on photos. So if you like how it looks on my photos you will like it even more in real life. It is not like AW is "fake" on my photos or anything like some of the MG and LBB photos look. You get what you see.

Epic.

Sweet roads meandering through an extraordinary scenery. Start with the 'Sella Ronda' area. Over there, it's always some kind of wonderful.

Most metallic colors with that much depth are almost impossible to capture true to real life.

And I made the mistake of forgetting my polariser. I've been fiddling around in Photoshop and it appears to get closer to LBB, I need to desaturate the Blue channel. Out of camera shots are always too blue.

Those last three pictures in my previous post are not mine. But it's like that over there. Throughout the Summer the contrast of the green meadows and woods with the blue sky and clouds, and the sun playing games, is pretty amazing.

Here are my pictures (just a regular smartphone - nothing processed - from hindsight, could have taken more scenic pictures): http://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1275744

Thanks again for sharing. Sometimes we are too busy shooting the cars and we forget the shoot the stunning backdrop.

I ordered the car with option 320, which means no rear badge. I just think it looks better, simple as that.

Yeah fair enough. I'd only just noticed it. It does look extremely clean and tidy without the badge. I'll stick with keeping the badge as I want everyone to know what it is! lol.

It's like X-mas all year long if you are an adult and buy your own presents.
