Great looking car!

I wish we could get the M Sports Pack here in the States....

Many happy miles...

Cheers

At least the US gets HUD for a song. Despite paying some of the highest prices in the world for BMW's, Singaporean afficianados cannot get the M Sport Package or HUD from the factory. Your 545i sells for US$210,000 here without Nav or HUD. Count your blessings.

Some amazing interior shots... I still haven't figured out how to get good interior pics out of my camera. It looks like the trick is to do it in the middle of the day with the car in the shade.

For Iight interiors, the main tricks are:
~park in shade
~the view through the windscreen must not be too bright else it will appear very over exposed in the pics
~ideaIly shoot early morning or late afternoon
~use fill in flash 2/3 under exposed
~use a small aperture like f-11 or f-16 for good depth of field (ie deep focus zone)

For dark interiors do exactly the same but underexpose the shot by 1 or 2 stops. This is because when cameras see a lot of black they tend to overexpose the shot making the black look more grey.

Ooo good tips. I knew about that... but I can never impliment it when I'm about to take a picture! I keep forgetting what to do when its picture taking time.

As for your name. You can change it. I've changed it before on other boards not this one. Usually Admin needs to change it for you.
