They are good to look at for sure, having good subject matter definitely helps. Comparing them to IA photographers is unfair though. Many IA photographers practice photography in their spare time as a hobby, not a way of life. Many of them are also shooting with entry level DSLR cameras and a small selection of lenses and equipment. Also, many simply do not have the money to go full out in photography and still enjoy modifying their cars. I would say that Bimmerforums has much better photographers than IA, and that is only one other forum I frequent.
