Car is SICK by the way. I wonder what made you replace the GT4 with it.
No I'm moving soon so most of my camera gear is already in boxes. I just shot with what I haven't packed yet. I'm friends with the owner of the studio so it was nothing official. Half the lights in the soft box were burned out too so it was just one of those "better than nothing" situations. Just wanted to get some clean shots of the car since it got a fresh coat of paint.

I didn't replace the GT4 with it. I actually sold my E92 M3 because I liked driving the S2K so much. I picked up the GT4 almost a year after the S2K and while it was a great car (and very quick on track), I enjoyed driving my S2K on and off track just as much. I did back to back track days between the 2 cars as well as switched between driving them every other day. Just felt like it wasn't worth having a loan on a $100k car when my S2K with no loan on it (albeit modded quite a bit) was just as much fun to drive. But after the move I'll eventually pick up something cheaper yet fun to drive like another BMW or maybe a 996 911 so I have back seats for my kids and a more comfortable daily driver.
