Author Topic: "Back With A Vengeance" Poster (Read 29155 times)

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.

Does it have the wording also?

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!

I'd want one, but not for $50. Here's a link to the r3v thread where I found the picture.

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.

Can you host the digital scan somewhere that we can download?

Hmm That's and awesome picture, I'd love a poster, but not for $50... oh and It may be me but does that m42 look like it's got euro grills? But with U.S. side marker trim?!?

I think so, and it also looks like the high beams have elips, and 15in wheels

I would buy it. Mabye for a little less, but I could probably squelch it. I wouldn't mind putting that in my room..

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.
