I had heard some 6er owners say they were going to Chrome their Ellipsoids, but had never seen the results. Now that I have :thumbsdown: 
Nice collection in one place. Thanks for sharing. The BMWs hold up their end really well.

And, by all means chrome your Ellipsoids if you want. I am going to look back to see if I can figure out what one is.

Outstanding collection of shots. 
Thanks for sharing.
If there is a better looking car interior than the Z8, I have yet to see it.
I'm getting a stiffie.

I see. Before, I didn't notice your thumbs down guy. I still haven't figured out what and Ellipsoid is--at least on the 6.

Earlier this year I spent a week at the Westin Kierland Resort and Country Club which is just down the road from that mall. I went over to the mall and was pleasanlty surprised by the parade of cars as so beautifully captured by you on film Vnod. That was my first time to the Phoenix/Scotsdale area and it was beautiful, you blokes live and party like rock stars out there

Sorry about the Ellipsoid use without the style #- that is 6er jargon for the Style 121. BWM describes this wheel as "Ellipsoid" It is the Sport Package option wheel for 6er in US for MY04 to current offerings. In other parts of the world they now offer a new option for the Sport version (or 19") wheel. Forget the style number but has many spokes (~ 14-18).
Prior to getting 6er I was planning to replace wheels. But the ease of cleaning, plus NEVER seeing them duplicated anywhere else has given me significant pause.

Great job taking the photos. You're getting the hang of that Rebel (assuming this is your wife's cam).
A very nice collection of cars. Was this taken all in one day?

I was thinking about the various forums today--including The Competition forum. I remembered the car photos I took at Kierland Mall in Phoenix. They have been down under for so long I decided to resurrect them for the newer members to see. I quit doing the photos about as soon as I started because I was always chasing cars and getting frustrated by the cool cars I just missed.
