MEGA's 320

MEGA · 07-23-2010, 09:10 AM

Hi all.

Quick post just to say my car has had a 6 page feature in Total BMW magazine this month - the August issue, been on sale for about a week now!

I'm very happy with the article, except they decided not to show off my audio!! But can't have it all.

I am really happy with it, quite an achievement

I beg you all to buy the mag. Not just because my car is in it. It is an awesome read this month generally; The E39/E60 article following mine is very good too.

However, as the internet is all about freetardation: Here are some scans.

Cheers all

PS. Leave my poor ginger face alone. No one likes the profile shot least of all me

Don't bother

hehehe

Hey, you must be well proud - noticed Baris's red E46 M3 gracing the cover of one of the mags in WHSmith last saturday also - that was also a good feature with some excellent shots of his car

Dave_3 · 07-23-2010, 10:55 AM

Well done.

Portrait shots are always a risk when getting a magazine article.

Well done fella

, bet you are made up!

Mines also made a main feature but in PBMW for the October issue. Just hope it comes out as good as yours!

parapaul · 07-24-2010, 03:20 PM

Great write up from TBMW, but like you said, it's a shame they paid so little attention to the ICE install.

Lovely car though

Dr Dave · 07-25-2010, 01:25 AM

I wouldn't want the ICE shown off if it were my car! Guaranteed to have it nicked.

themetz · 07-25-2010, 02:35 AM

Great article - bet your chuffed to bits!

Is that not the point of having a photoshoot in a magazine though? You could say the same about the alloys, exhaust, etc. etc.

If they're doing a feature, and the car has a decent install, it just seems like they've only done half a job by not really covering it.

MEGA · 07-25-2010, 04:37 PM

Seconded on the ICE. I really don't understand the decision and need to get around to emailing the editor. Even just a pic. They didn't need to comment on it, if that's not their style - but just a pic! Heh.

HOWEVER on reflection. I got a 6 page feature in one of the biggest national BMW mags. Can't complain too much

Cheers all for the kind words.

The ZR650CSi will not fit in the stock doors you will need custom door builds
Look up Jenhart or drop me a PM as I know the UK distributor and can get you a set.
