Hi all!
Just finished the car scene. No post processing. PMC, approx. 7000 samples after 5h rendering on Asus GTX 780, OR ver. 2.12.1. I think in might be faster after optimazing the lightning in the scene. What say?
BMW 5 series

these are my tips for optimizing:
- license plate (white) seems overbright
- colors (blue, yellow, maybe red) seem to saturated. my view on the car gets distracted ..
- inner rim cap says WMB instead of BMW
- how about a darker (or brighter?)car paint? right now it´s not really popping out..
- shadows from car and parking ticket machine seem different
- you could as well delete those two big fans. to me they ruin the shape of the car a bit.
can you tell us sth. about the lighting setup?

comments:
all of the above^
+ car looks flat, add a few (high)lights to expose nice curves and shapes of the car
+ play with gamma, some areas that have detail do not show it

Thanks for comments!
Regarding light setup there are 4 planes around the car with radial gradient in the emission and opacity, which were adjusted to get highlights. Also one big light plane outside the building.
The fans are cool details to me, pity you do not like them
I'll try to make some PS processing before to change any geometry/lightning, coz 5h of rendering again... nooo

This last rendering is looking really good!
