My guess would be bad JPG compression. Are you using MS Paint to compress your pictures from BMP to JPG? If you are, that's why. To make them look better, get a PhotoBucket account and upload your BMP pictures to there where it will automatically change them to JPG, and better I might add.
To give you an idea of what good vs. bad is, I'll post up some pictures.

Even though these aren't SHIV pics (lost my hard drive), you can probably see the difference between good and bad compression and in SHIV it makes even more of a difference. These pictures are from the game Test Drive Unlimited. You can see some artifacts from bad compression around the vents on the hood.
Sorry for not posting SHIV pics, but I didn't have any.
Also, for some reason, I couldn't get both pictures to show up in the post so I just posted URLs.
