10,000 mile photo shoot YMB M3

joeyb26 · 05-25-2015, 12:32 PM

Decided to celebrate the 10,000 mile mark with a photo shoot with a real camera and not just my iPhone, still love this car as much if not more than i did when i picked it up last july

No mechanical mods (yet) all cosmetic as of now:

IND reflector delete front/back
IND black kidney grills front/side
Spacers 15/18mm
M Performance rear spoiler

Full clear bra on front bumper/fenders/hood/mirros/side skirts etc, big thanks to Phil at Detailers Domain for that

18mm rear?

Pics are badass, they have a soft focus look to them though, like they could be sharper but are photoshopped with the effect.
Car looks stout, regardless.

I love it! I'm so torn between YMB and SS lol this looks great!

The color balance looks all off. Some pictures you are too white - desturated maybe - and some are too red.

Use a grayscale card to set neutral. That will help with getting true color.

Without that you can pick somewhere in photo as the white and somewhere as the black. That will give you a better color balance as well.

Nice car...tho I think I am one of the few that dislikes YMB.

Car looks awesome, mine arrives 1st week in July, same color/wheels. What color interior did you get. I love the spacers, a little too "aggressive" than what I was thinking 12mm all the way around.

Is there any change in ride/handling that you have noticed with the spacers? I have never had them before and was just wondering.

Interior is silverstone full, and i didnt notice any changes in the ride/handling. i was going to do 12mm front 15mm rear but i like the aggressive look the rear has with the 18mm's, doesn't affect ride or handling that i've been able to tell anyway

Joeyb, thanks for the response. Do you have any shots of her "rear end" that show both tires? Would like to see how she looks from behind (STS).

You should have just used your iPhone to take the photos.

Car looks clean! If I were to get an F80 it would be YMB with silver wheels just like yours!

theroadrunner · 05-25-2015, 07:08 PM

looks bad ass, love the subtle clean mods.

dkhm3 · 05-25-2015, 07:21 PM

awesome car op.

I am thinking about getting spacers, any cons? how does it affect handling?

Thanks!

i've had them on for probably 4 thousand miles and i don't think it affects handling at all, only con i can think if is that two days after i had them put on i wasn't used to the extra width yet and curbed a rim

, other than that they're great
