My eyes still on that RX7 on the background. it brings memory..
opps..let me wake up...nice pictures of the E60. They look as if you will place those pictures in a brochure.

My Ride: 2005 525i Titanium Silver Metalic and 2003 325xi Jet Black with the Premium Package in both cars.
Beauitful shots of your 545. Don't forget to pluck out the rear inserts and replaced them those great euro red reflectors, make a great difference on the car. 7 megapixels make those shots absolutely clear.

I really cant comment as I only use a windows based machine. It seems like your pics are taken on a very very bright day. whats the Metadata on the images? (Exposure Time, F-Number, ISO) all have an effect on how accurate a camera captures the correct color. I dont play much with photoshop adjusting the values, cuz I really dont know how.
I only have a limited knowledge using photoshop. I like taking pics on gloomy days... they turn out the best. Dusk is a good time.Oh and I'm still using a cheap 17" CRT monitor.

[/quote]I'll get back to you on the metadata. Yes, I took my original photos, now in the Gallery Section, at sunrise. And, yes, it was a very bright morning. I think the camera was accurate, but what I am noting is the differences between our monitors--with the Windows machine monitors yielding better images that my iBook (but my wife disagrees).

donv,
Great pictures!? The camera takes really sharp photographs.
As for the color issue on the desktop Gateway or iBook, I believe all Photoshop suites have a monitor calibration tool.? Your Titanium Silver e60 looks great on my monitor.? J/K?
I'm sure your wife knows of the monitor calibration tool since she is involved in post-processing.
Like EBMCS03 mentioned, I have found that the best outdoor photographs are taken in the afternoon, on a semi-cloudy day.? This helps cut down on overexposure.? Otherwise, a polarizer on the lens would help.

[/quote]Exposure times/shutter speeds were 1/250 sec; F-stops were f13 or f14; and ISO was 400--with minor exceptions.
