View Full Version : ::VOTE:: 2008 Bimmerforums e34 calendar
Antrieb 12-18-2007, 11:53 AM Ever walk into one of those calendar stores in the mall and flip through the Mustang calendar because thats the only car calendar there? Yeah, I know the feeling. Thats why last year I started the annual Bimmerforums e34 calendar so we can enjoy our favorite cars each month.
In the link below you have the option of voting for 12 images that will go in this years calendar. Each image is provided by a member of this forum.
After the voting is over the calendars will be available for purchase from an outside company for around $25. Voting ends 12/23 at 11:59pm.

Big thanks to MacR. He set up the poll site which was a huge help :thanks:
Hey man, Mine is in there twice. Theyre the same image, but the one lower on the page is cropped correctly. Just fyi
-Thanks for the shiznit man!!
moonsspoon 12-18-2007, 12:11 PM Kind of disappointed... There were quite a few more great cars and pictures in the original threads.

No, not really. Were you thinking of last year?
I am disappointed that there weren't as many entries as last year but oh well. There are still some very nice submissions.
jhower08 12-18-2007, 02:24 PM Damnit. I wish I would've seen the earlier thread so I could have submitted a pic.
BTW, I thought photoshopped images weren't allowed?

RVAE34 12-18-2007, 06:17 PM How do you get banned lol?
I am dissapointed by the number of calender submissions this year. We had so many more last year. WTF?!!! I think we have been talking about this since like Feb 07!!!!
5mall5nail5 12-18-2007, 06:19 PM I forgot to submit by my car is apart anyway
not as many submissions this year.. but good one regardless. Jimmyz old car would've been a great submission, but that picture was just taken 2 days ago, and the submission cutoff date was over a month ago (it just took a while to find an online poll)
Pchops were only allowed to enhance pictures, not to change your car (ie. adding rims)
We can always vote to have that pic be the front page.. I'll work on some designs for the front... (Just in case)
5mall5nail5 12-18-2007, 06:24 PM We should run a summer calendar with only heavily modified E34s :)
Elekta 12-18-2007, 06:28 PM There could always be a tourings only calendar too. I know I'd buy that one; but they can't be nicked pics from around the world...member submissions only.
still, I appreciate being a contender in this one, and I'll buy this one either way.

Not the vote... but in the calendar ;)
If everyone's so upset, start another submission thread. I can make a new poll with more.

To anyone that is upset/frustrated/hurt that you didn't submit a pic, there is always 2009, 2010, ect :)
Goat128 12-18-2007, 08:27 PM seperate calendar for all the losers? we have almost 24 entries so take another one that missed the deadline ;)

It'd be neat if somehow the unpicked 12 are somehow pictured in the actual calendar part. Like.. the unused square next to the 30th or 31st. Ehh?
RVAE34 12-18-2007, 08:37 PM Great idea^
SC David 12-18-2007, 08:40 PM Thanks Zak/Mac for going out of your way. I do feel there could have been some stronger images, but everyone kinda slacked and didn't meet deadlines...etc. It'll still be a good calendar from the looks of it.

yeah no deal, i think only like 5 of those are calendar worthy.
RVAE34 12-18-2007, 10:38 PM I would honestly rather wait for a calender that had the best pics rather than have one now. Even if it's a month late. Just start and end with February or whatever.
Not saying the cars don't belong, but some of the pics werent thought out.

on another note, i do think that some of the pictures in the calendar are not up to par. i mean the cars sure do look good but some of the pictures are so so..
oh yeah and does anyone know where i can get a zender front bumper?
^^^looks good, im not oposed. but, I think thats the wrong orientation?? needs to be landscape instead of portrait.

Australia. That seems to be the only place that still has a couple left. Otherwise you'll have to wait until I get someone to make copies of mine.
I had a hard time deciding on the photos. Narrowing it down to just 12 was tough.
Testercles 12-19-2007, 09:49 AM I dunno, I looked through them all and went from the bottom up and got exactly 12 by the time I reached the top.
Dark Schnitzer 12-19-2007, 12:47 PM Damn, I wish my car was ready !:evil2......no need to even try at this point with pix.
There should be a rule about calendar worthy shots.......LESS is BETTER ! Meaning of course....the less distractions in the background the better.( per your perception,of course);)
Pick up the trash in the scene if there is any etc. Some scene/site prep is needed sometimes for a "WINNING" shot.There are nice cars out there to vote against that didn't get the votes due to these failed principals.:(
I guess if photoshopping is allowed and your shot was cool,but lacked the above......use it too your advantage......and become DECEMBER !!:buttrock

attack eagle 12-20-2007, 02:20 AM yeah I was in last year's... I was hoping shrike and more of the other touring owners would have been in this year's.
Some one had a green touring in a landscape shot... unfortunately it is supposed to be a car calendar and a 1" long car just didn't cut it for me. If they had zoomed in on the car... it would have been a GREAT shot
prash 12-20-2007, 11:35 AM This is the bumper///
did you recently buy this car or are you the original owner. It was for sale a while back but they were asking like $27K for it.

I'm the new owner....and it's well worth the money. Fantastic car which will out perform even a 3.6 E34 M5 (but not the 3.8 Euro E34 M5).

ringle 12-21-2007, 02:39 PM Here's an idea....not sure about the cost, but why not put out a two year calendar, that way you could have lots more pics in it and it may even save on cost?
Antrieb 12-21-2007, 03:54 PM Again, I will not be extending the submission of this calendar. There are people expecting this calendar and I can't dissapoint them. Again, I'm sorry but you should have been better prepared.
The calendar will be ready for purchase this weekend and usually takes about a week or 2 to ship. Yes the company should be able to ship overseas.
I don't mean to sound like a dick but rules are rules and people have expectations. Hopefully next year you guys will try harder.
attack eagle 12-21-2007, 04:07 PM Good for you antrieb.
You guys don't remember last year when it dragged on until almost MARCH before the calendars were recieved????
I'll be up for the challenge next year... especially after taking my Photography class and having a new camera to play with... :)

Just a sugestion for next years Calendar submissions........MAYBE......the webpage for submissions could be up all year or last 6 months and people could be suggested towards the page link as pix of their 5 get admired/recognised for decent shots???
By year end.....their could be a round one forum vote to select the top 24 shots.....and then the final voting for the calendar ??
One submission per member-
No replacement once posted-
Must be the owner of posted car-
If photoshopped,must be denoted-
For the camera buffs....details of pix posted with submission..EG: F-stop,filters,etc.
Forum handle & name posted w/pic( sugggested)
Just a thought......I hate to see Antrieb getting frustrated for doing such a cool thing for us .;)
Cheers,Vinny
Antrieb 12-21-2007, 06:04 PM Thanks for the great ideas Vinny, I think that may be the solution to the problems I've faced these past 2 years. That way there can be no excuses!
I can offer space on my site for next year's if needed. It can all be done through that if it would be easier.
Another suggestion is to make it a little more public (updated stickies, etc) than this year. People slacked because stickies from 2007 were still up. Not your fault though, I'm aware of that.
Always glad to help.

Always glad to help.2 years ago I made an e30 calendar and tried to broaden it to 3 e30 forums and it didn't work out too well. I think keeping it just at bimmerforums is the best idea to avoid confusion. If someone from another site wants to enter all they have to do is join bf.c and PM me or post in the thread. If you see another car on another forum just let them know the calendar deal and they can pop over here.

Haha... shit that sucks about the ban...
I was TO'd for putting up "inappropriate" material once... was out for a month, but PM still worked fine. They can be real bitches in OT sometimes.... especially considering what goes on in there. Like I told Kevlar when it happened, I've seen worse with no ban stick thrown, how was I to know what's accepted and what isn't?
Sometimes the littlest things can piss off the "Master". Ah well...
Testercles 01-10-2008, 03:54 PM Yeah the person with their pic on January is gonna feel pretty gipped.
He's unbanned so he's probably getting stuff ready.
