Any ideas on how to refresh the E32?

[elwine30]

Yep, although my sunroof isn't working, the fact that there's a gap in the roof probably affects the NVH levels. Then again, I'm happy with my car. Was tailing a immaculate E38 728i whilst in the SMART tunnel this morning. It was really nice. My dream car...

yes, E38 still have the soft spot for all 7 series owners huh. .

Hey, do you own the E38? I am just holding on till I can someday, somehow, afford owning the E38... Would love to have one with the V8s... *drools*

 

[elwine30]

nope, that is my next target upgrade actually.

Ahh, cool. What model are you planning to get when you finally make a move for it? It's kinda cool knowing that the older 7s are kinda few and far between, unlike the E65/66s that are pretty commonplace especially in KL. Always get that urge to look at other 7 drivers especially when they're driving the same model as I am! Of course, now that mine are shod with the E60 [style 125 star spoke rims] I do feel slightly better that I traded the original 15s...

For the time being, I doubt I'd be willing to part with the E32... Just waiting for enough dough to replace the plastic side skirts and cladding... Seems to be falling apart due to heavy wear and tear... *sighs* Even the rubber linings besides the chrome strips on both front doors are flapping about. Had to resort to using cello tape [with the ensuing dreadful black stains it left on the paint] as well as some good ol' blutack to keep it intact.

Haha, it's alright bro. We all got our dream cars eh? Some are attainable, some aren't... Then again, it doesn't hurt to dream. What's your current ride bro? E32 as well?

 

[elwine30]

Cool. Any idea how I can access the photo thread bro? Tried going to your profile page but couldn't see any pics, unless I went to the wrong area!

Awesome car bro. Nice detailing. Haha. Really envious la that your E32 is in such immaculate condition! :top:

 

[elwine30]

well, i would call it fair condition only. i seen better ones.

Ahh, you gotta be kidding bro. From what I've seen, for your car to be chosen to be part of the launch of the F-01 is surely indicative of the 'specialness' of your car. :top: At least yours isn't kitted out with those 'Ah beng' bodykits. Doesn't suit the lines of such a beautiful machine. I like the fact that you've changed it to be an Alpina model.

 

[elwine30]

except the front lip. . well, it's just comestics Alpina parts.

Must've cost you a bomb to get those? Fully imported ah bro? Kinda toying with the idea of upgrading my car slowly... So far already got new set of tyres last Sunday, but still keeping the same rims. Next up should be changing the headlamps for the E32.

alamak! so modest la this fellow... credit where credit is due lor!

 

[elwine30]

nope, the rims are replicas. So, they are ain't original and not expensive.

The decals can be obtain from spareparts shop but i got them from bkk.

but you can start by changing your lights from amber to white. They make the car looks newer. Also if you can the headlight, it will definitely make your car looks newer. You can opt to change your rear light to leds or just white lights.

If got the money, lower your car. H&R springs is available.
