Nice shots, but... You didn't really use Cannes in this shoot. It could have been taken pretty much anywhere...

Yeh, but it's waaaay cooler to say Cannes instead of an old warehouse in the red light district of Zeebrugge

Great photos..

Lovely car. Only thing that I'm not a fan of is the rear lights and advertising stickers. Other than that its beautiful.

I really like everything (even the roof, becuase I know from your other pictures how well the CF look comes across) but I have to say: The backlights look awful. I always have the feeling that there is just some very simple sticker on them that makes them look cheap. But thats just my opinion - other than that, my car will look nearly the same (with CF diffusor and normal BMW logos) - without the stickers, but I know that one of them refers to your employer and the other one did a nice job with your roof.

"I AM 2COOL" registration plate.

Stickers all over the place.

Dabozo · 07-28-2016, 09:06 AM

Ditch the stickers!!!!!!!!!

Pol · 07-28-2016, 09:15 AM

This car is so beautiful that it don't deserves stickers and blacked backlights.

Robban · 07-28-2016, 10:10 AM

Beautiful pictures!
Sorry to say, but the blacked backlights is not so nice...

tutankhamon · 07-28-2016, 11:00 AM

I would echo what's already been said regarding the lights and stickers. Otherwise, beautiful car.

PARTS@STBMW · 07-28-2016, 11:20 AM

What happens when you buy a M2 cause you can't afford an M4?

I will soon... they are test for now. A lot of people shoot pics of the rear of the car, and the stickers are a marketing outing for now testing the impact of having stickers next to a plate like that. #marketingexperttesting

So how do you separate the search traffic from the stickers from the organic search?

What on earth are you talking about?!

People are probably taking a photo thinking "look at that childish numberplate". "I am 2 Cool"? Good grief, how old are you?!

Hahah good call. You can't, but I all about checking people's reactions on the things you try. Not everything is measured in numbers.

If they do, wonderful and I have succeeded in creating a reaction, that is what it is all about for me. Everyone is allowed to have his opinion about it. From thumbs up to whatever they feel like or need to say about it, it opens the discussions and the talk.

So far it has been mostly positive and that is great. You are one of the few who cannot appreciate it, and also that is totally fine by me. It is what "our car religion" is all about.

Look at the rear lights, same thing... We put them on to see how it looks and how people react to it. The rear light vinyls will be removed soon when the gloss rear CF diffuser is fitted. In the meantime it got more hate than love, so it is gonna be removed again.
