Been a while guys, this forum is just so quiet nowadays! :(

Well for those of you that remember my project car is my 2001 E38 7-Series - 728i to be exact.

And here's where it's at now!

It sits at 4.5 inches above the ground which is pretty low for a full sized saloon!

Bloody chuffin' sweet if I may say Jas ;)

Quiet Forum? Want me to STIRRRR it up? LOL

Cheers Dabsy I thought you might like it!

Stir away! :P

Let ANYONE tell me the E38 is not a Beautiful car and I'll screw Bella Emberg !!

Lol Jas... If I "Stir" it up, they'll bypass the Warning points mate... Yarr Aargh !!

If I could pic a minor issue, it would be the Rims, Jas ! If peeps could see the Brembo's it would be a Trophy winner ! JMHO matey ;)

LOL warning points?! Bahh! Surely not?!

The wheels are abit marmite, people see them, people either dislike them or they absolutely love them - I'm from Luton which is a town full of magpies... so I like the shinyness!

  • Author

E38 BMWs are also the most beautiful full sized car EVER.

I don't dislike them mukka, just a shame to hide those Brembo's, thats all ;)

Right, where's me BIG spoon ? !!

My next mission for you is to De-Chrome her... Do you accept this mission?

Try photoshopping some copies with blacked out chrome before you accept. LOL

  • Author

I'd rather walk the plank I'm afraid :( I LOVE the chrome! it goes with the whole badass USA mafia boss image I'm going with!

Aye, the plank be waithin' for yer company :P

Try it? The ONLY reason I suggest this is because Silver colour on late E38's is VERY common, and thought it could be something else to mod !

AND, did you know, if you mod it with genuine BMW material/parts you can inform BMW GmbH and you get an "individual" status plate (recognition) from them?

  • Author

No way?! I was just gonna throw red paint in my interior and call it an individual!

Jas...

.....amazing lad....stunning

Your 7 is a beast mate!! when u first put it on i wernt too keen but on its ##### with them rims splitter n so on its defo a winna for me!! dont really see them down my way not lookin like that anyway! spot on bud! is it a v8??

  • Author

Cheers mate, these cars aren't the most common to begin with! It's only a 728i but it doesn't feel slow and it's perfectly flat around corners too!

Ive seem quite a few of these for sale lately too (sport models etc) at very reasonable prices and just thought to my self hmmmmm ?? lol

But I couldnt do it to ya Jas,plus people would start to talk,lol. Ill save my time for an 8 :)

Good stuff mate!! am thinkin of coilovers myself but all me mates are tryin to put me off lol your rims are sick are they an ebay jobbie?? ive been lookin to put some 7 series rims on my 330! i think there style 95 19" nice concave on them!! just got new rims myself but dont think il be happy untill ive got 19 or 20"

  • Author

Prices are definately reasonable for these old beasts but finding a good one is tough!

Wasn't after a sport to begin with but did take some for a drive - my car though felt right somehow!

The wheels I can't actually remember! They were local though!

Coilovers is a must I feel for making a car look good - lowering springs equally do the job well!

Nice to see somethin differnt would love to see in person!! my mates got a 7 but its the longer one its also the v8 had it on ebay for ages still not sold and only askin for 1k!! Wish i had the money would love to put the lump in mine!! ul have to get some more pics up!!
