Custom BMW M3

Having your car featured in magazines can be beneficial.

First, it will give a good documentation of your modified Car for your effort and secondly, it
will get you a good exposure for your car if you want to sell it.

However, since there are millions of cars out there on the road, how can one attract
the attention of Car Magazine to feature your custom car?

Here are some tips and guides on How to Feature your car in magazines by a BMW car owner whose BMW M3 manual was featured in 3 Car Magazines.

1. BE the FIRST (NEWS SELLS)

Car magazines works like newspapers, they need news to sell their magazines, hence to make the magazines notice you, you need to make news for them. If your car has the first new special parts from a car tuner, that would be ideal as it will create news and attention of readers.

2. BE UNIQUE: CREATE a whole extraordinary car:

Your best bet is to start off with your mind to create something unusual but still to your own liking and your taste. You do not want to create a unique car only to hate it after the modifications. People want to see something out of the ordinary. “Uniqueness” always catches attention. But remember to do it tastefully otherwise it will only attract negative comments. Be creative, don’t limit yourself to parts from one car tuner, you may combine with parts or products of other car tuners or even from other makes of car tuners.

3. CUSTOMISED MODIFICATIONS: ATTENTION TO DETAIL:

Custom modifications attracts attention, it shows creativity and uniqueness too, that nobody else’s has. Car Magazines want to show unique parts to the world and people will want to buy the magazines to read and to check out the new parts.

4. BRIGHT COLOURS:

Car magazines love BRIGHT colored car, so if your modified car is of that, you have a point ahead of other car owners. You may have noticed this in all other cover magazines too. So if you plan to repaint your car, catch attention and make it to the cover, choose bright! (important note: choose a bright color that you are comfortable with!)

5. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL MAGAZINES:

Well you need to let the magazines know that you have a special car to feature. Find a suitable magazine that suit your car theme or make and contact them. If your car is modified by a car tuner, you may ask your tuner to call the Car Magazines as they will have direct contacts to the publishers.

If you have a tastefully tuned car, many car magazines are more than willing to feature it. Just think of it this way, Car magazines need new cars to feature in their magazines every month! (At least five feature cars per month). Where are they going to locate these cars? If you have a tastefully tuned car and feel like getting it featured, get some good photos now and email them. You just have to let Car publishers know of the existence of your Unique Car. Good Luck!
