Pics Of my M3

Got bored late in the day and decided to go to Annapolis Harbor and take some quick shots before the clouds rolled in and sun went down. So here they are.....

that's interesting. Normally the photos I take with my camera don't have noise like that.

Example of a photo I took:


Noise filter on Photoshop:




Dude don't get me wrong I think they're flipping awesome I was just wondering because your sig looks like it's this way too.

Nice car, I want one as soon as I get out of school. That's Intergalos Blue right?

yeah my Rebel XT is incredible. What year is your car? I don't think BMW still offers that color do they? I hope they don't jerk over the new m3 that would suck. Actually now that I think about it my dads camera that I used to use was like that before I got my Cannon.

Any modifications to the M3?

right now the only mods to it is a cold air intake, B&B triflow muffler and the wheels.

Check the ISO setting on your camera. See if you can lock it at 100 (or whatever it goes down to). Though it also kind of looks like jpeg compression noise too...make sure the quality is set the highest.

Laguna Seca was discontinued in 2004 I believe, the newest "M" blue is Interlagos...more on the purplish side.

Nice pictures. I always was a fan of the M3s. At least your engine won't explode with a 2003.5 everything before that is prone to massive engine failure
