Photography by Jonathan Ray exclusively for Stance:Nation.
I was setting up my gear for what I expected to be yet another normal shoot of a semi-modded car when I started to hear the unmistakable sweet deep sound of a straight six engine approaching. As this particular straight six car got closer and closer I could start to hear the amazing overtone of a RMS stage 2 Vortech Supercharger screaming with each press of the throttle.
As the car pulled into the parking lot, I was absolutely dumb-founded at what I saw and it was then that I realized this particular photo shoot would be anything but normal. In front of me was the most beautiful 1999 Estoril E36 M3 I had ever seen. Its extremely large front mount inter cooler and DEOP 7k Halo Rings were staring me in the face in such a manner that I literally got a chill down my spine. As Albert continued to drive by I realized that this M3 had the entire package going on with beautiful rolled fender wells, 245/40/17 Falkens lacing beautifully Keskin KT1’s.
As we positioned Albert’s M3 Monster for the shoot, I was completely overwhelmed by my choices composition, angles, and various things that I was wanting to shoot. You see, more often then not as a photographer, we are tasked with the responsibility to make our clients cars look even better than they truly are with our creativity and trade skills, however this particular M3 made it oh so easy. With an absolutely spotless interior, polished 3″ lip rims, detail engine and flawless paint… I could have shot this thing upside down with a disposable camera and produced amazing images.

I think as you pursue through the various photos, you will agree that this M3 presents a very well refined, unique, finely tuned and well put together package.
Thank you very much Albert for allowing me to see the beautiful machine in action.
