Featuring your car in Car Magazines can have many benefits to Car Owners.

will give a good advertising media 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 car?
Here are some tips and guides on How to Feature your car in magazines by a BMW car owner whose BMW M3 Coup 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 create news for them. If your car has the first new parts from a car tuner (a new prototype), that would be ideal as it will create news and curiosity and attention of readers.
2. BE DIFFERENT: CREATE a whole unique car:
Your best bet is to start off with your mind to create something extraordinary but your own liking, of course according to your taste. You don’t want to create a unique car only to dislike it after the modifications. People want to see something out of the ordinary. “Specials” always catches attention. But remember to do with good taste otherwise it will only attract negative feedback. 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 special 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 car 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 can live with!)
5. CONTACT YOUR CAR MAGAZINES:
Well you need to let the magazines know that you have a special car to feature. Find the best magazine that suit your car theme or make and contact them. If your car is modified by a tuner, you may want to ask your tuner to call the Magazines as they will have direct contacts to the publishers.
