which pic do u like best for a magasine ad with photo?

I will be trying to sell the 540i in a Bi-weekly magasine here in Montreal that let's you put a picture and description.

It will be in black and white so the color is not crucial - I just want the most flattering angle of my e34!

I want your opinion on which picture is best for this purpose!

all input is appreciated!

#3, great contrast, really shows the E34s character.

#3 is a nice photo, but it's underexposed in the shadows and overexposed in the background; looks like an snapshot for those reasons. That and the background is distracting. #2 just doesn't show the car's best angle. #1 is a little washed out and unfortunately highlights the non-lowered gap with larger wheels, but IMO is the best looking photo and will do the best job of hooking people.

Unless your car sales mags are different up there, remember that the print quality is going to be poor - high contrast, over/under exposure problems are going to be exacerbated in a bi-weekly magazine.

Ya may want to get some new exhaust rubber rings. That tailpipe is hanging low.

Do like you did when you sold your other car, use someone else's picture. :D

#1 out of those three.

Hmmm, if its going in a mag with low quality pics i would defintly say #1, if they are of a higher quality i would consider #3. Defintly not #2 it does not show the contours of the hood, which are probably considerably more important. good luck =)
