Oxford Green G80 M3 Photoshoot, Including Rollers

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Took the car out early Saturday morning for a photoshoot. I was hoping for some sunshine but Chicagoland weather doesn't like to cooperate pretty much anytime I want to take pics of this car

Nevertheless we made the most of it and got some moody shots along with some rollers with a few peeks of sunshine.

I didn't know what to expect with the roller shots.... But the guy was literally hanging out his car with the camera held down just inches away from the road, while travelling 80mph. I kind of wish I had taken a pic of him taking pics - it was my first time experiencing that and was shocking to see it in action.

Props to the photographer - Tom Schaefer https://blinq.me/Aqqg2lfqouJormQRXol...62DiLUcTkux18o

He did great work and if you're in Chicagoland I'd highly recommend him. Was super flexible with scheduling (my schedule is a bit challenging, and he worked to accommodate), and on top of that he got me the pictures VERY fast (Had the photoshoot Saturday morning, he worked all weekend to get me the final photos by Sunday night).

Exactly!

So far, I’ve only had one guy doing rollers actually use a harness system to make sure he doesn’t fall out. All the others just hang out of the car with reckless abandon. 😳

Great shots and absolutely love your spec! Love seeing another 6mt individual
