Title: "Back With A Vengeance" Poster
Post by: Delia on November 12, 2008, 09:07:07 PM: My mechanic has this poster hung on the wall in his shop. (It's 24" x 30" - the same image with the red e30 as the opening page of this site.)

So, I'm wondering if that poster is still available (unlikely) or whether someone has made a digital copy that I can buy (hopefully).

Anyone?

Makes sense to me...

So I borrowed the poster from my mechanic and it's now being scanned and the blemishes retouched. It will cost me $125. to get that much done.

I priced a series of actual-size outputs from the color lab and they are pricey.

I'd need to print more than ten to get the price down to $55. each.

So, you'll have to *really* want one plus donate some money to the Club.

Post by: RED IS 91 on November 13, 2008, 03:05:53 PM: Does it have the wording also?
Title: "Back With A Vengeance" Poster
Post by: Delia on November 13, 2008, 03:47:52 PM: Yup. It's the BMWNA factory-issue dealer promotional poster.

Copy reads in large Helvetica type along the bottom edge:

BACK WITH A VENGEANCE - THE 318is

or maybe it's:

THE 318is - BACK WITH A VENGEANCE

(Can't remember)

It's a really cool image and graphic. It's so mesmerizing I just stare at it.

Makes me glad I have a Brillantrot 318is, that's for sure!

Post by: EN318isPDX on November 14, 2008, 11:58:17 AM: Thats pretty tight! id buy that poster.
Title: "Back With A Vengeance" Poster
Post by: Delia on November 14, 2008, 08:01:18 PM: The scan is complete and the retouched corners are now crispier than new.

It appears as if I'll be putting in an order for some outputs in a few days.

The advantage of a digital scan doesn't require I make the new posters in their original 24" x 30" size. Believe me, that can lower the cost-per-poster substantially.

More info as details develop.

Post by: Delia on November 22, 2008, 02:42:19 PM: So, meanwhile, I've got the retouched image on disc. My pocket book is a full C-note smaller.

If I weren't concerned about BMW NA suing me for copyright infringement, I'd have a whole stack of posters made to keep the costs down.

If you gave us free copies of the digital image - you wouldn't be making money off their stuff :D.

That's true.

And if you bought me jewelry and other nice things, I might consider it. :D

Post by: P. Kennedy on November 25, 2008, 09:57:41 PM: How about you get a commitment from 10 of us M42'ers for $20 per poster, and then you will have doubled your investment, and we don't get hosed so bad for a poster price?

Just food for thought.

Ummm...the math doesn't work.

So far, I'm into this project for $100. If I want 10 original size copies @$55., add $550.

Then it's up to $650.

If I can sell 10 of them for $20. each, subtract $200.

Then instead of being out $100., I'm out $450. and no poster for me.

Sounds like a heckuva deal -- for you guys, anyway...

FWIW, now that the image is scanned, I *can* get them produced 18" x 24" for about half the price.

Post by: 318kid on December 02, 2008, 09:49:55 PM: Why don't you sell the digital scan to us, so we can print it? I'm sure a lot more people are willing to spend $10-$15 for the digital scan, and print it some where we like, then to pay 55 for one poster.

and I can buy a color toner cartridge and a roll of glossy paper and, I have keys to sneak in at night...
I''m sure BMW NA has made its money on the E-30 by now, and then there's the whole M42 profile gasket fiasco, sell me the digital and I'll make a load of posters, and figure out the cost per.
