Thumbs up Downtown LA Skyline, Some Graffiti, and a Slammed F30

So, VMR Wheels recently shot my F30 and posted about it here and there on the web. I really dig some of these shots so couldn't wait to share them! I pretty much just quoted VMR's post below:










Quote:
Since our last feature, Matt’s F30 has taken on a much more dramatic look. He has updated the exterior with M-sport front bumper and side skirts, along with BMW Performance lip and side splitters. These additions have really given his car a more aggressive look, which is only fitting for the mean streets of Downtown Los Angeles.

Wheels & Tires:
VMR Wheels V721 in Hyper Silver
19x8.5 ET35, 19x9.5 ET45
5mm spacer front, 8mm spacer rear
235/35/19, 275/30/19 Falken FK452

Suspension:
CKS Suspension Coilovers w/Swift Springs

Engine & Performance:
AFE Intake Scoop
Evolution Racewerks Intake
Evolution Racewerks Chargepipe
Evolution Racewerks Downpipe
Burger Motorsports Stage 1 Tune
P3 Cars Vent Gauge


Exterior / Interior:
M-Sport Front Bumper
M-Sport Side Skirts
BMW Performance Front Lip
BMW Performance Side Splitters
BMW Performance Steering Wheel
BMW Performance Grills
IND Color Matched Reflectors
IND Keyhole Cover
Painted Mirror Covers
Weathertech Window Visors
35% Tint Sides & Rear

Great shots!
Car looks like shit though when it is so low (personal opinion)...

Don't you work for VMR?
Or why did I think so, I'm confused since you talk about them in third person.

The CKS coils ride really well, I was actually impressed when I put them on. If you choose to go with them be sure to opt for the Swift springs, it will make a significant difference. I don't really recall how much I paid for them but I'd just send them an email or contact one of their dealers to see what you can find.

It's okay, different strokes for different folks. Part of what I love about the car (and bike) scene is that each person has their own taste and modifies their vehicle accordingly. The variety among cars is what keeps things fresh so being a little different is a plus in my books.

Regarding the VMR thing, I do post a lot about them, huh? In all seriousness though, I'm surprised they don't post in this section of bimmerpost...

LA DWP has a very distinct design, the "shelves" plus you can also see the symphony hall in the background, oh and my friend works there. lol

That over-ballistic masking and tone/color treatment/correction makes the car look like it's fake and comped in on a set or something. it's nice and cinematic but meh imho.

If you're on VMR's you can try contacting them, they might shoot it if you're local to them.

Haha yeah. I know the spot back from my skating days, LA DWP was quite a landmark spot.

Yeah, this newer style of photography/post has become pretty popular in recent days. I like the dramatic effect but as set, they don't always work. These sorts of photos are awesome individually and print really well.

I don't have any pics right now but will try to grab some. If you look in these photos they're pretty visible from some angles. At first I wasn't sure if I liked them but they grew on me, I'm happy with the purchase.
