My Ride: 2008 535xi / Platinum Grey / Black leather / Step Auto / Sport / Premium / Cold weather / 18" wheels / Logic 7 / Comfort / ipod / Navigation / Fold Down Rear Seats / Rear Airbags / Sirius SAT / Spoiler / Extended Clear bra / Bluetooth. (Previously owned a 2002 sport 525I Loaded).
On order: 535xi Platnium Grey with Black interior, Step Auto, Sports package, Premium package, Cold weather package, 18" wheels, Logic 7, Comfort access, ipod adapt, Navigation, Sat radio, Rear spoiler, Extended Clear coat bra.
Looks nice but the photos are a little out focus. Set your aperture to 8 or 11 and use a tripod if you don't have a steady hand. Set your focus point to the bottom of bumper with the aperture set at 11 it should be in focus from 3 feet in front to infinity. If you use a tripod you can probably close it a little more like 13 or 15 and get it super sharp. It's daylight so I would shoot aperture priority and set your ISO no more that 400 if you need the light. Try the ISO at 100 then 200 and so on depending on what your camera allows until you get it right.

Looks great Eugene!
As for the lens, that's what the world looks like every time I look out the window, so I think something's wrong with your new lens.
