My 97 E38 728i

[andrewk]

After regretfully selling off my E34 (still miss the car till today :bawling, I'm glad to be back with another beemer ....Stock to da bone when I bought it...

Ride was super comfy on the 16"s.... but cannot stand the "uncle-ness", so a short trip to Sunway for a set of BMW Style 95 18"...

Next, another fruitful trip to the chopshop for some parts and to the paint shop and detailer to give it a fresh look...

Had to change the kidney grille as the original unit's brackets were broken and held on using glue Now its got a black nose.

Headlights a little yellow already, so next step is either to polish em or replace the glass. Maybe get aftermarket ccfl ring to update the look.Next trip is to sort out my suspension and slam the car down a little.... but gotta wait for wallet to recuperate first... :biggrin:Enjoy de pics...

Excellent Car, Excellent job...............now u need an excellent 'drop' and dont forget the excellent quads :top:

Tip from andrewk : whatever happens, never sell your e34 :love:

Great stuff Andrew !

 

[andrewk]

Thanks Ken E. Ya, never sell your E34.... some stupid streak of insanity made me do it.... (can u tell I love my E34? :love

I was contemplating the quad look, but it is very difficult to find the rear bumper kit with the necessary exhaust slots locally. Anyone know where I can get one?
