Beautiful. When its clean/polished, Black is the best color!

Now take a Celebrex for your spine and rotator cuffs...

WOW! That's a Beautiful X5! You did a Great job on the pictures and also on the wax job! Do you mind me asking what wax and prep that you did to get that depth of shine?

Does it sparkle like that in real or was it a bit of Photoshop magic? I'm not trying to downplay your hard work, but whatever you did/used on your whip, is what I want to use on mine because it looks Spectacular!

I really like the picture with the water where it shows the reflection of your "Black Beauty"!

Wow thanks everyone for the lovely comments!
As for the wash, it was just a simple wash with Meguairs Gold Class soap and dry with Absorber. I usually take it to a car wash place for wax every 3 weeks but I am going to buy my own buffer soon as I am starting to see fine scratches.
As for the pictures, I am not quite professional yet but for those pictures I only used Nikon D300 + Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8 lens. There are a bit of photoshop magic involved in these pictures =)

'ONLY' a Nikon D300... The new Nikon D300S with lens is over $2,600!!

I have a very similar Nikon D90 and my pics aren't anything even close to yours! I saw your flickr account and you certainly have a lot of car photography pic's on there. What's with all the Lexus pic's??

I knew from the reflection in the water that some photoshop touch-up had been done. Wish I had your talent. Looking at your car makes me want to go and power polish mine right now...

Haha sorry I thought you guys were expecting a D700 or like a D3, now those are pricey!
If you can learn some photoshop magic, any camera will do great. There is this one photographer that only shoots a D80 and produces stunning images, I could not believe he shoots a D80.
I came from a Lexus IS350 and I was on that forum for quite a while and I did photoshoots for some of them, I was building my portfolio so why not.
I did not really touch the picture that much, for the garage picture I just poured some water on the ground and I could see the reflection of the wheels
