My Ride: Alpine White 2006 530Xi (SLD)
Took these to post on cars.com - some of you know, I'm selling this car.
I was gonna detail it, but the weather's been so crappy - I decided not to even bother - should I detail it and take new pics? Maybe next weekend - if it doesn't sell by then...

I think the interior shots look OK. I'd wash it, at least, and maybe try for a less busy photo location. Not like "magazine" pics, just somewhere where all the attention is on the car. 2 cents.

Thanks for the tip though - I'll redo the photoshoot in a diff location after a nice wash... probably the "old airport"
don't know why, I've always liked smart alecs around me haha at least, this way, its never boring

its weird - my seats came out on these pics as if they're armoralled or smth - they look shiny here, but in reality they don't seem like they reflect light at all. Actually, I've always thought that they are completely matte... 
Good luck

I just checked the date again ... no its not April 1st.
Car needs to AT LEAST be clean for a photoshoot ... especially if you want to sell it.
