I'm home sick today, so I thought I'd try my hand at this painting thang. here's my first real shot at a livery on FM3:

1981 BMW M1 Group 4

original car:



my version:



I added a few appropriate decals just to make it a bit more "race-y". I couldn't tell that the stripes on the roof didn't quite touch until I saw it on my computer, but I can fix that. man. trying to get those to match up across the whole car sucked!

Good job Juan!

Looks good Juan (sorry for disappearing straight off last night, but it was 11.30 here and my body clock was crying out for sleep).

If I could add one tiny suggestion, try squashing the 20 so it's shorter but fatter. And I fully sympathise with you about lining up the stripes.

I've not got the M1 yet, so one quick question. All the M1's I've seen either have no body kit or the Forza kit, yet the one in your pic is the one I always associate with the M1. Considering we couldn't get a Forza kit on a BMW for love nor money that seems odd - am I right in thinking they didn't include the BMW kit in the game?

Spiny: let me check when I get home tonight. I can't remember if the BMW body kit was available or not. I'm hoping it is.

blooze: thanks!

Only Forza aero is available for the M1.  Other BMWs have kits from different aftermarket manufacturers, though.  Its a crying shame though, that BMW aero is awesome looking and completely changes the M1.  As it is in game I think more of a Delorean than anything lol.

The paint looks good Juan.  What class is that thing?

I'm bouncing it between B, A, and S, seeing where it will fit.
