You had me till the last sentence, and then you failed big time. BMW owners don’t care what’s under the hood as long as it has the badge? Implying that BMW owners neither care about the dynamics of the car or the environment is a lazy stereotypical response I’ve come to expect from the writing on this site.

I can’t. Sign me up!

Everyone hates on these, but I think the mentality is off.

Who is anyone to tell anyone else what they need or do not need. Now that’s an American attitude right there.

As a pro automotive photographer, you can definitely have fun with these, but I tend to stay away - when you use a lens filter the effect is permanent. Instead, On a duplicate layer, use a Guassian blur filter in photoshop, then set the layer opacity to less than 50%. Same effects, with the ability to turn it on and…

GF is best of the best, but I offer free automotive-based photography tutorials on my site. You can hopefully learn some basic techniques on the subject.

BMW 330i means nothing. BMW 3 Series means everything. Look what happens when we stick words in there!

I use it anyway.

It’s my job to photograph BMWs and the colors they come in...

I’ll try it, but really, for less, you can get yourself a CPO F30 335, which has a proper inline 6 and is rear-wheel drive based. It has the same power (more with a simple M tune) and with an exhaust has a nice burble. For a daily...

Agreed, and since the popular FM platform and styling were already in development by the time he got there, I wonder if Nissan needed even neded any “saving”

Nissan was getting it for awhile. Remember cars like the 350Z and Altima were, at the time, very competitive. But then nothing developed beyond that...sad, as they were always one of my favorite brands.

This is me, thanks for posting guys!

Agree - but given the current car landscape, Toyota is faced with the same problem, a 50k car sitting next to a Corolla.

I also question the logic of a 50k+ Toyota. Isn’t the price what really killed Japanese super coupes in the 90s anyway?

No - you still don’t get it.

Exactly - the kid in this scenario is innocent, because they did NOT make the choice to be born, get in the car, or go to school.
