I kept seeing this BMW in a parking lot on the way home, and I finally had a chance to take a picture of it. It's a bit gaudy, innit?

Wow! That is certainly a gold car! I have to agree that the diffused lighting is much better for this color than harsh lighting would be. Great shot!

Wow - that is golder than I've ever seen in a car before! I agree with Liz, that the diffused light was the perfect time to take this shot. It came out very well.

Good one, Eldred!

Somewhere, I have a pair of old walking shoes that looked like this. They were almost exactly the same flashy gold. I actually bought those shoes because they were gaudy. Hummm??? I wonder where they went. That was back in the early 90's. They were reserved for dog shows when you wanted people to look down and notice the tiny dog at your feet. LOL.

I can't imagine this color on a BMW that normally come only in neutrals. Obviously someone wants to be noticed in a crowd. They must have paid a lot extra for the custom paint job. Cool find! That's a lot of gold. Even the white lines next to the car has a gold tint from the reflection.

Good use of diffused light. In strong light, this car must be blinding from the golden glare. LOL.
