    Nice ride. My favourite of you shots here are 1 and 4. Having recently been in the market for a new car I have been looking at a lot of the "auto propoganda" flyers and I have to say these are 2 of the nicest "product" shots I have seen through all of that. Your lighting is good and the framing is above the standards for the type of shot we are looking at. Nice work.

    On the 1st shot, I would have liked to see better symetry. the BMW is rotated to the left (CCW) a bit and I would like to see the rim patterns meet the corners of the frame equally.
    Also, the brightest areas are blown out slightly, but good choice for b&w.
    The 2nd shot is ok, but it may improve by having the bg all black (try using a black cloth behind the subject, but not too close)and a greater dof. more area in focus. Try shooting the steering wheel from a straight on approach. I would also trim off a sliver of the top frame.
    The 3rd shot I like alot. Smooth tones and nice colors. I would also trim a bit of the top part of the frame, possibly the right side a bit as well.
    The 4th is probably my least favorite. the bg I find distracting, the reflections coming off the car are too much causing the actual color of the car to get lost. Also, chopping off the front. . .I'm not sure if thats working for me in this comp.
