Lovely E38...this 7 series represents for me the right muscular and yet sleek looking car...Love to own one day besides the E39...

Congrats on your new ride...watch out for the racuns...

hhhmmm... would have said wheels, but on a 2nd take, i'd say the stock wheels is all right. Change to 2 DiN scrren / DVD / CD etc player? Supercharge it? Brembo's? Bilstein's? Quad exhaust setup? heheheh!

I can't resist...here it goes: -

Cosmetics

1. Facelift lights and fenders. If you dont wanna go through that, aftermarket angle eyes from WRC
2. Rims are awesome, classic on the E38. You need to drop the ride a little, suggest Titan set up with H&R springs or keep stock standard with Blistein and H&R springs
3. Tint job if not already there
4. I would go with a fresh quote of paint. Seeing your interior is black, I would go for something striking in shades of green, orange or red. I would also black out the chrome to match the dark interior
5. Before u do item 4, wait for Unker's AC kit......
6. Interior looks tidy, but I would refresh with a touch up job if needed e.g. A, B and C pillars, roof, side steps
7. New set of custom made interior floor carpets, not the master carpet

ICE

1. Eventually, the CD player will kong if not already so, touch wood. If planning an ICE upgrade, change head unit (single DIN), speakers are already awesome so no need to change. Add a sub, best if active (not too much base). Reasonable budget for good performance

Engine

1. Change Vanos seal - Herbert is your man
2. Check all sensors, replace as necessary
3. Compression test and O2 sensor test
4. Cooling system test, do when changing Vanos seal
5. Undercarriage inspection i.e. arms, bushes, joints
6. Check all seals especially flywheel
7. Transmission test, flush and prep

I think enough for now.......hehehehehehe

Wah!

First dose ready for consumption!

Have to let my wallet rest first hehhehe........Herbert been telling me bout the Vanos seals. Yea....have to do all the tests. Wonder where can do a full diag? I know around Cheras/KL area got Albert....where else recommended?

As for ICE, well, this car had the most basic ICE you'll get - only got cassette and tuner - tada CD player! :stupid: Need to upgrade to the double din screen with GPS ........got any around? Trying to searched the forums but most seems like false alarm. :motz:

Need to pay WRC a visit to change my headlights. Herbert: did you get yours there too?

Thanks a lot and I really like your blue E38! Saw a similar mod posted on Bimmerforum if not mistaken.

Yes I replaced my headlights and tail-lights at WRC, Sunway. As for complete diagnostic test, will take you to Bestness Motorsport at Ara Damansara and do full scan with reports for only RM150.00.

 

[evilnickwong]

Nice car, but I have to say, I really like that house and garage.

 

[New_Conti_Drebar]

meet up, not sure lah as my E46 might be going away soon due to a forced decision [ certainly not by me ].

Hahaha.......sure....you got time can meet up and shoot all you like hehe

Oh yea! Wait till Loh gets his car first......but then again if he takes too long then we have to set our own time lah. So usually which day you are free? Or perhaps you wanna meet me for TT over the things you told me you wanna discuss first then we set from there?
