Photoshoot: E46 M3 at Lower Grand Downtown Los Angeles

This next photoshoot spot is probably the most iconic spot in Los Angeles for automotive publications and is probably my favorite spot in the LA area. It lies right under the Disney Concert Hall and the Broad museum in the heart of downtown.

If you’ve seen the movie Batman Dark Knight Rises, there’s a scene where they jump an armored truck down to Lower Grand, which you might recognize. Today we bring our own scene and the casting crew includes a 2008 BMW 335i and a 2003 BMW E46 M3.

This spot is very difficult to find without any guidance because it’s actually a divided road that lays parallel underneath a major street in the downtown area. It stays pretty hidden even on Google Maps, but guess what? We got directions for you!
