Courage black “BMW M3″ #108 - ( 24 inches by 18 inches )

M3 poster “courage” was produced in 2005. This image was shot in a 2001 BMW convertible M3, carbon black which was the first year of the E46 body as an M.

This is NOT a photoshop image. This was taken by me while drive at 140 miles per hour. I had to take about 3 shots to get it clear, but the real challenge was keeping the speedometer at 140. I actually had to get the car up to 145 mphs and take the photo as the car would decelerate. I have similar photos taken in my M5 at 155, 161 in a corvette and 125 in a BMW 3 series. The only posters currently produced are the M3 POSTER AND THE CORVETTE POSTER.

All images where taken on tracks or closed roads. Driving a M3 at 140mph with one hand on the steering wheel while taking a photo with the other wasn’t has hard as I thought. But as they say “Don’t try this at home”! I also look forward to creating new images with the BMW M6! Shot with a Nikon Cool pix 775 2.14 megapixel digital camera.
