"Back With A Vengeance" Poster

[Delia]

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?

Chance for the forum to make some money selling posters :D
I'd buy one..

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?

[Delia]

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.

Thats pretty tight! id buy that poster.

[Delia]

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?

[318kid]

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?!?

[1991 E30 M42]

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..

[Delia]

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

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.

I'm in at $20!

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...

:)

[P. Kennedy]

Sorry. I missed the part where copies are $55 each. I just went back and re-read everything. Dang, $55 per copy eh?

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

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.

Now there's a good idea

[dcarchitect]

Hi. I'm an architect (duh) and he have this rocking Oce color printing machine....
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.

[Nomadic]

I'd be in at $25 maybe more depending on quality -bump-

[Nomadic]

BTW -- 10 18x24 4-color posters at Nitro Print (http://www.nitroprint.com/html/oversize_posters.php) for $129.00 +15 shipping

10- 24x30 for $215 +15 shipping

I'm sure you could get the cost below $10/ea with a larger order.

[LeanE30]

[fiftytakedowns]

Ill talk to delia when I get teh chance.

[Delia]

Thank you all for your interest, but I've had so little response that it doesn't justify the effort to get them produced for a reasonable price (under $60).

Delia

[Asserti]

so why don't you just post the digital image??

If it's money you want, I'm sure we can arrange something.


Please please please!

[jeff_b]

wtf, over?

[Asserti]

Such a pitty this never went down.

[TokyoEnigma]

I would have copped that so.fast.

[colin86325]

Interesting that the car in the pic has fog lights.

[Nick_318is]

I would love one and have access to a plotter at work, let me know if you'd like to work something out to get some of these made.

[mach schnell]

Yes please!
