CALLING ALL MEMBERS! It has been suggested to create a 5series.net calendar for 2010 with photos of our members rides (thanks Tony/EuroCarFan)! A 2009 calendar was available since we started the cafepress merchandise store by request of members earlier in the year however it contained only a cling picture for each month so it was very plain. For 2010 we're looking to fully customize the calendar with YOUR ride!
Please submit only the BEST photos for consideration. We can only pick 12 photos and 1 cover photo! For any photos submitted we will need the high resolution versions uploaded. Not only are fancy and unique shots of the E60 preferred however we're also looking to possibly match the seasons. This means, for example, for one of winter months we could pick a picture of an E60 snow covered. Perhaps a shot of the E60 in a national park when the leaves are changing color for a fall month. Perhaps a picture of the E60 on or near the beach for a summer time month. etc... etc... I think you guys get the idea! That's not to say every month has to match a season, maybe only a couple. The key point is that each photo must dazzle us!
Submissions will be accepted up until Sunday, November 22, 2009. To submit your photo please upload the hi-res version to this thread. We will assume that each member is submitting a photo of their own car. If you are submitting a photo of another members car please let us know that members login name when posting the photo. We'd like to acknowledge the winning photos by printing each members name on the photo in the calendar.
We will then use the week of Thanksgiving to pick the top 12 (and cover). Most likely das, Rudy, Iceman and I will decide the top 13 photos. Depending on the amount of submissions we may pick a top 25 or so and then request your votes .. we will see how it goes! The calendars will then be available to order December 1st.
Let's see what you've got! "Dazzle" us!

BTW, speaking of a beach shot, here's an older pic of my car that actually made it on the M5Board calendar for 2009. I need to get updated pics hopefully by Nov 22nd.

On that day in mid-July, after taking delivery and driving my car around, yes, you could say I "found Jesus"...
