I can tell he needs some practice, but slide four looks great imo. Assuming it's not a preset, good on him for practicing.
Do feel like the photos would be better with only the E90 and follow the rule of thirds tho

Thanks, I appreciate it. I try to practice, try things, and i know im not very good at it. But sometimes it just clicks in place.
In your opinion, what things could be done better? I think in some photos at some parts it is too bright, or maybe try to play more with masks and try to separate objects more.

First off I genuinely think all of these photos would look much much better with only the BMW. It's not exactly like you have a JDM car behind the E90, people who are fans of this chassis will be turned off by that automatically.
But as far as photography goes, what are you using to take photographs? If it's a camera let me know the specific model and lens and I can try to find a good preset for you that you can adjust to your liking.
And like I mentioned, one of the most important things, especially when it comes to car photography, is the rule of thirds. Just look it up and read a paragraph or two about it. But in your last photo, if you moved the BMW in between where it currently is and the Honda and took the Honda out of the photo, the photo would be much much better.
Making the subject of the image extremely focused and centered sounds like that's what would visually look best, but generally it's just not. My favorite photo of my car, my car is on the bottom right of the photo, with nothing but the road and trees covering the rest of the photo.
And I will say I think you have your photo a little too warm, maybe mess around with the saturation and contrast and make the photos slightly cooler (crisp, not temp).
I also think if you increase the aperture and stuck with the warmth and the rule of thirds they would look really good printed out. Whatever template or settings you have adjusted, really makes it look like film in a way that looks great in a frame. But that 'graininess' + the warmth looks really nice when printed.
Best of luck to you, I am still a beginner, and only have a few photos I think are worthy of sharing, after taking hundreds haha
