More Z4 Pictures... **56k Beware**

SapphireBlackG01 · 09-23-2006, 02:43 PM

Here are a couple more pictures that I took the other day with the digicam... this time with the top down.

These pictures remind me how badly I want to change out the stock wheels, though.

I just love how the light plays on the sides of our cars, with the Bimmer character line that runs below the shoulder line... it's great to photograph in all it's iterations, except maybe the 7er's. Someone's silver E90 even snuck in there in one of the pictures. =X

I also took some cool pictures on South Beach with more interesting scenery, but I shot those on b&w film with my SLR, and I haven't developed/printed them yet. Soon as I find some time to spend in the darkroom, I'll post those.

Enjoy!

My house is down the block, but it doesn't show in any of those particular pictures.

I think those wheels look better than the 3.0si sport pack wheels by a large margin!

I just wish they were a bit larger, like 18s.

I hope you're kidding. It's obviously satirical.

I understand it's satire. Honestly, it doesn't offend me, but I'd hate for someone to be truly upset by it. Just my 2 cents.

If someone could edit/photoshop that word out for me, then I'd appreciate it alot... I honestly just like the duck's angry face. But my photoshop skills don't extend quite that far yet.

I'm sure Shim or Diesel could do it for you. They seem to have the most experience in Photoshop.

Oh, and yeah...

The only decent wheels on the Z4 now are the 17s that I have (Style 200s), which also come standard on the 3.0si Z4 Coupe, and the 3.0si Z4 Coupe sport package wheels, which are five-spoke 18s (Style 203s). My favorite probably have to be either the Style 203s, or the ones that you have, that used to come on the 2002-2005 3.0i with Sport Package. Dunno the style number.

Thank you very much, Zero!

I owe ya.

I'm gonna go ahead and change my avatar tomorrow, because the forum has decided that for whatever reason the blank version is "too large" for an avatar. I will compress it and add some different text in it tomorrow. (yes! something I can handle! lol)

Back the Z4,

Looks great man! My old man pick up his on the third....He is going to give to to me in the next year or two I totally agree about the wheels!! He ordered a si with everything! and I hate the wheels he is getting on them! (sport)

Your wheels look great though! I like them SO much better then his!!I'd keep them, I think I might slap on some 162 on the z4 when I get it!
