Perfecting the Composition // BMW M4 on BBS
In the realm of photography, choosing the right location for a photo session is no less important than choosing the right objects. Can’t see them both as separate entities. Instead, they need to ‘work together’ in order to create photographs outstanding enough to be imprinted into everyone’s memory. Take a peek at today’s featured car from Solo with its outstandingly …

New Commander // Henry’s BMW M4 on Klassen iD
Henry Ford, the ‘father of automobiles’, once said, “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would’ve said faster horses.” Decades later, the father of iPhones, Steve Jobs, also repeated this idea in his own fashion: “people don’t know what they want until you show it to them.” In essence, these people shared the same idea about ‘visions of …

Lights & Flashes // Uut’s BMW 335i F30 on ADV.1

Subtle Speeds // BMW M3 Sedan on Vorsteiner
One generation of M3 worth to be remembered is this last-V8 version: the E9x. It is also the last M3 to come in two different platforms: 2-door coupe and 4-door sedan.

Almost Melancholic // Frido’s 1-Series on AC Schnitzer
“A way of standing or being placed – Stance.” Fender-to-lip fitment, humongous-width wheels, aggressive camber, stretched tires, minuscule ground clearance, and righteous offsets are the terms that need to be assessed when you are seeking after the perfect ‘stance’.
