Wow. Attention to detail. Plus your car is beautiful.
CSL's are such classics... The lines, the sounds, just everything screams "sex".
I'd have sex with that car before i'd have sex with the chick...... true story

great pictures! Fantastic car!
Hello Anssi,
As said before, those are the best M3 CSL pictures I have seen.
I wish I had 10% of your photographing skills.
As you said, the first thing I noticed when I forst drove my CSL was: "This car makes you smile". ...and it's still true after 6 month.
I added your website to my favorites. There's a lot of nice pictures. I loved the ones with the BMW 8 series as I also own an 850CSi.
Again, thank you for your pictures and comments.

Awesome car!
Thank you!
You have chosen excellent cars. Yes my web gallery has pictures of an 850iA "Orange Beauty". I simply love that car! By the way, it has its own thread here at Bimmerforums, full of pictures:
Orange Beauty
In fact, many of my CSL pictures were taken when Orange Beauty was present, too bad we did not put them into the same picture. Perhaps I was thinking that the 850iA would steal the spotlight! Because that is what that beautiful car does.
If you have ideas for a CSL topic to be covered, I am taking requests. I am still in the process of getting to know the car myself.
I want to learn things slowly. It is wonderful to learn something new every day and I want this to last forever. I have experienced only a fraction of what this car has to offer. In the summer of 2012, I will continue to explore the car, take more pictures and write new chapters to this "saga".

I think you they don't even have the option for a manual gearbox.

Found picture taken by you with the same "LED Flag" seen on page 1.
So if this isn't post processed...what is it. Doesn't seem there are actual led strips agains the wall. Is it projected from somewhere with a clever camera angle to make it looks like coming from the "Flag pole" Melissa is holding?

Again this is done by light-painting. This means that I was holding a LED rig, walked behind the car and drew the flag during a long-exposure shot. Melissa is holding a stick and I tried to align my drawing so that it would look like the flag was attached to it. The reason I am not visible is that it was dark and I was wearing black clothes.
Notice how nicely the car surfaces reflect the flag "texture"? Those are real reflections.
The square reflection on the front corner of the car is not related to the flag. This is a reflection of the studio strobe that was used to light Melissa. Professional photographers always remove such mistakes in post-processing, but since I don't manipulate the pictures, the reflection is there for everyone to see. (I am really kicking myself that in this frame, the BBS logos on the wheels are not correctly rotated!)
Weeks of planning, building and training. A couple of hours of actual shooting. Innovative long-exposure photography. But no manipulation.
Hope you like the results!
Anssi
Yes fantastic result.
Was just very curious how one does such effects. I know absolutely nothing about photography, so it amazes me.
Well played.

Beautiful vehicle as it sits. Add the fact that only a few were available makes it that more attractive. Imagine if it had a manual transmission!
Great pictures of an epic car,Anssi!!!!!
The CSL is a fantastic car.
Cheers,
Raikku
