Your E30 on a poster, box flares or bumpers

The first poster is a paid customer order, shown with no plate and nobody in the car. The second is our own studio sample of an E30 M3. Most of our customers' E30 posters show readable plates, so we don't show them here.

Cabrios lead: three of our five E30 orders are convertibles, in red, white and dark blue. The other two are M3s, both black. Every one went big: four of the five chose 20 x 28 in or larger, and two of those went on canvas.

We can do every E30 body: the two-door and four-door sedans, the Touring, the Cabrio and the M3 with its box flares and raised trunk lid. Early chrome-bumper cars and later plastic-bumper cars are different noses, so tell us which you have.

E30 owners pick European driving roads. The Côte d'Azur twice, the Stelvio Pass with its stacked hairpins, and the road above Pamplona with the city in the background. One Cabrio went to Mulholland Drive above Los Angeles.

If your E30 lives in the US, Mulholland, the Pacific Coast Highway and Angeles Crest are all ready-made scenes. Or name the road you actually drive.

Stand at the front three-quarter and crouch to headlight height. That shows the four round headlights, the kidney grille and the bumper, which is how a 1985 car and a 1988 car differ. On an M3, the angle also catches the box flares, the deeper front spoiler and the rear wing.

Get the wheels sharp. BBS cross-spokes, basketweaves, bottlecaps and aftermarket wheels change the whole look of an E30, and owners notice. On a Cabrio, choose top up or down before you shoot, or tell us in the notes.

Leave the plate on: we can remove it or keep it, your call.

E30 owners tend to go large. A 20 x 28 in fine-art print is $99, and every size comes portrait or landscape. US shipping is free and a digital copy comes with every physical print.
