I was at a car meet a few weeks ago and this widebody E36 M3 came rolling into the lots and I couldn’t help but chase it down. It had super beefy tires, competition Sparco seats, just straight up ready to hit the track. The crazy part? That was no ordinary S52 engine sound. I walked up to the car and sitting there was a nice little LS1 engine. I chatted it up a bit and later found out he was Ryan, owner of Motorsport Hardware and Motorsport Fluids.

Fast forward a few weeks later, I asked if I can shoot his car. I hardly ever get an opportunity to shoot people outside the E46 community, so this was a breath of fresh air. We met up in Irvine to do a few rollers and then met up at my usual spot to do a golden hour shoot. I’m using my Sony mirrorless now (I switched from Canon) and I got to test the low light capability. For the photographers out there, try the Sony with the ISO cranked up. You’ll be amazed. Well here are how the photos turned out!
