I got a few issues of PBMW laying about and they've some real nice cars in them.

If your car is good enough contact a few mags and see if any want to run a feature or article on it.

when you figure out how to place a simple advert on here you may then figure out how to e mail the magazine you think your car's good enough to get into it

It did indeed. Thanks mate :)

I hate that inside shot so much, I cleaned the car that morning inside but where the photos were taken was really muddy and as I got in and out the car a few times to move it it all got covered in shit :(.

Yep, in my experience, normally if you have something they think is worth a feature then they tend to contact you. No harm in emailing them though I suppose, just don't expect them to say yes, they probably get similar emails everyday by people wanting the same thing.

iirc performancebmw contacted me asking me if i wanted to attend a ten of the best day at bruntingthorpe.
it was a tuesday so i couldnt make it but after seeing the feature later in the mag i think they were lining me up as the wipping boy for having a ford engine in my bmw as all the other e30's had way more powerful conversions than mine....
youll need more than a set of alpina reps and a filter upgrade to get their attention though. what have you got?

Probably got a better shot with TBMW then performance as the cars that get featured in there usually have had a lot of work done on them but there have been a few that have slipped in with very little as well. End of the day no harm in asking. You never know.

If the OP is a BMWCC member,he could submit his own article and photo's to the club magazine editor for consideration... :D

Total BMW/ Performance BMW drop them a line with pics and explain why it should be featured. They're always keen on clean/interesting E30's 8)

Or tea bag this guy^ while he is trying to eat a microwave burger that look's and taste's like warm death. That at about 1pm, after he's been fooking around with your car since early doors....

Oh no, that doesn't work at all winkeye
