Talking New E90 Owner saying hi!

Just wanted to introduce myself. I got a mint 2006 325xi 6 speed manual a couple weeks ago as my DD. Replaced my 2002 Subaru Outback. The car is awesome! (not that you all don't already know that). The only thing I don't like are the speakers. base stereo. I'm looking at the Bavarian Soundwerks package and the SWS earthquake subs for the most stealth install.

My other cars are:
2005 Chrysler Crossfire
2007 Suzuki SX4
1974 VW Super Beetle
1964 VW Beetle

The evening I got it.


after I detailed it (I'm pretty sure it had never been waxed)


during a recent evening fog

Awesome photos! Dark blue sky in the first one and fog in the last few are beautiful.

Congrats on the car, and welcome.

Thanks! I spend a lot of time on photography, but it's not my job.

I've been reading this board for a while, just registered, so I've been doing a ton of reading. Here and autopia (for detailing both my bimmer and crossfire).

thanks. if I remember that one, I was having trouble with overexposure of the lights with the headlights on, so that shot is just the daytime running lights. It was the only way I could get the light beam AND capture the sky color. 1 second exposure, tripod of course.

If you had the xenon/angel eyes, the pic would have come out even more amazing

what lens?

The camera is my digital rebel XSi and the lens is the Canon 28-135mm USM. Image stabilization was turned off due to the long shutter speed. There's a range that it works best in, and 0.5 seconds and longer seems to be out of that range.
