Finally got my hands on her and shot a picture I'm happy with.

I certainly wanted to do her justice. Secretly, I'm planning to large scale metal print this photo for the original owner. He was a bit apprehensive to let her go when I finally arrived to pick her up. I also shot a documentary about the car's history, stories, etc., that I'll produce for his family and to display at car shows.

I'll post full details later, but this car is absolutely amazing - the owner was meticulous, and it came with everything (including boxes of any worn out original parts that were replaced, test drive mags in their original shipping sleeves, 2 sets of factory manuals, a full handwritten service history, shift pattern sticker still intact, original paint, etc.)

A true time capsule!

That photo is the essence of everything the makes the e9 such a beautiful car. Hard to believe a solid object can look so fluid standing still.

Brilliant shot.

Cool picture!

I just had a shot of mine printed on metal, and I love it. Colors and resolution are just fantastic.

the photo is cool, congratulations,
but that is not a survivor, not a time capsule, the stance is ridiculously modern, wheels are incorrect, there are no lateral grilles, black or extra tinted glasses,....probably another title will do more justice

Thanks guys! I am really happy with how it turned out.

DeQ - I've sent you a copy with the warehouse lights on for reference - car is all original, as stated! I just removed the redundant side markers and altered the rake in photoshop.

**I promise that no original cars were harmed for this photo shoot!!!
