    e30 Picture Needed for Charcoal Project

    Hey guys, I'm new here and I don't have an e30 to call my own (hopefully within a year!) but I have recently discovered how much fun I have drawing cars with charcoal. This is where you come in! I need a high-res picture of a good looking e30 to use for my next drawing. I don't need anything too detailed; maybe not even the whole car. I like doing open compositions more (where the subject extends beyond the page). I love straight lines, so the more straight lines, the better.

    I thought I would give you guys this opportunity to show off your cars, and for me to be able to have a good selection of pictures. Please post them here, then when I pick a favorite, I'll have you email me the full-sized file.

    My recently completed, first car, project (as example work):





    Thanks!

      You seem like youve got some talent there!

      I'll just put these here. :) Some of my old whip, and the new.

          Those are 16 inch Style 5's typically found on stock e38s. Can be had for about 200.

            Too bad the 5 lug swap isn't $200 :(

            Thanks for the info though.

                    Hey guys, thanks for the input so far, but these backgrounds are just too complicated for me (a beginner). Right now I'm leaning towards dinanm3atl's '88 325iS (currently for sale: http://r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=192372)
