This is the link to those stands, they are very solid and heavy too and I like the rubber tops so the car doesn't get scratched but they are too tall.

I one time had to leave my old 5er with one stand for an entire day while I got a new tire and I felt nervous leaving it on one stand because the car was so high up in one section I felt like I shouldn't leave the car in that weird position.

Step 2: be sure there are no obstacles (like trash cans, other cars, etc) blocking your view of the car.
Step 3: walk backwards far enough to see the entire car.
Step 4: turn the iphone in landscape mode.
Step 5: Look at the screen to be sure the whole car is on it.
Step 6 (Optional): lower yourself and the phone down a little so you're parallel with the car and not shooting down at.
Step 7: take picture
Step 8: Post picture on 'mudgeons - get compliments.

It's been a while since I last posted. Sold the E92 M3 and bought a Jeep GC. The M wasn't the family truckster that I'd hope it would be. Love the Jeep, but picked this up a few months ago to feed the car bug. Had it converted from auto to manual and installed euro headlights and bumpers.
