Beautiful car, inside and out with colors just how I like it, and best of all, a manual transmission.

Needless to say, I am jealous. Enjoy it much as you can whoever the owner is.

Great shots! Forgive my forwardness but you should start a side business taking pictures of cars for :diller: websites or ads. My friend just ordered an A5 fastback in Nardo grey and the dealer was willing to drop the price a bit to make sure the car comes through his dillership for photo ops.

There's no money in doing it for dillers. It's brutal work, Camry after Camry.

What I want to do is build a network of high-end car clients and shoot their vehicles.

I've got some ideas. Just no time currently.
Move out to Cali and shoot for The Radavist

It sounds like an even better plan. Either way, your appreciation for cars and photography skills make for stand out pics.

I still would like to test drive an MT M235i. I found the auto just too boring for a sports coupe.

Yes for sure. Grey is not my thing at all. He could've ordered a color and considered some shade of blue and green. The man drives a silver civic from 99. Different strokes I guess. He's a very quiet being, I think the color suits his persona. All that said, Nardo is a SUPER popular custome paint choice on audis.

That's what I might get myself lol... or the blue. Primer grey is a thing now doe. Actually was on Audi for a while.

He also special ordered the dark brown interior leather on the s-line seats. There's a code for it which audi :diller: lady knew how to dig up. Website only shows it in black on s-line. It will be a rare bird.

In not on board with the overdone fake vents everywhere or the ugly base wheels. But otherwise it's pretty solid. Looks good in red. I've seen gray ones and meh.

I like the wheels pictures enough where I wouldn't change em. While I don't like the "fake" vents I think they do make the car look better.
