I met up with pfieff on Wednesday for a shoot of his 335xi Coupe. I love shooting brand new cars that are completely stock - everything is fresh and unworn, nothing is scuffed or scratched. I really like this car too, I can’t find anything I don’t like about it.

White with silver wheels is my new favorite color combo to photograph. :excited

Wow, the car looks great. The color and wheels suit that understated processing you like to use and the rig shot really pops with the green! Nice work and LOL @ 4:30am :tbu

The color was perfect for high-key post processing. I spent over an hour editing that rig shot, I desaturated the colors - then it didnt look right. 430AM is right :lol

I’ll have to start bringing my other CP filter, this one doesnt like to be used directly into the sun - not that a CP filter is designed to work that way, but I keep getting that soft cast to the colors in the shots.

I still can’t believe we both shot 2 white cars in the same spot about 100 yards away on different days. Thats weird lol

It is a great car, hard to find anything I dont like about it. It’s a close second to my everlasting love for the S5.

This.  
I’ve done shots with it that I never would’ve been able to get before. Easier to assemble and much more rigid.
