Back in an E38, and it feels so right!

[ChrisV]

See, those wheels are sweet. Far nicer than the ones on Chris' car. 

They are the Style 95s that come stock on the E65 Sport 7 series. I was going to buy that actual car and take those wheels off and sell them. As it is, the owner has already replaced them with these AC Schnitzers:

[FlatBlackCaddy]

Hahaha. Probably. I lurk here a bunch still, but I spend more time on TCL and BMW forums.

I don't blame you, in fact....Take me with you..PLEASE.

[FlatBlackCaddy]

The M-Para is the best looking BMW wheel on a E38/E39. They look far better then even 99% of the much more expensive aftermarket stuff.

[CALL_911]

Wow that estoril E38 is sexy as hell. As is your car, Chris. Congrats, now when are you gonna get an E39?

[cawimmer430]

I like the rims on your E38, ChrisV! 

[Lebowski]

Gorgeous.

Ugh. They look like umbrellas.

What do you mean? Why wouldn't I "last" there?

TCL is The Car Lounge at VW Vortex?

There are multiple portals to The Car Lounge, but VWVortex is the largest.

Some arguments over there can be even more pointless than here.  I really like it over there though.

I see that.  Right to the 7er thread

[68_427]

Sorry not sorry for trying to start shit in your intro thread

[ChrisV]

First issue. Took it in to get it MD state inspected and it failed for age cracked rear brake hoses.

Got a set of braided stanless hoses on the way to fix that isue, but that'll push of the permanent registration for a bit.

[ChrisV]

ooh, got my axleback exhaust parts in. Gonna do like my last one, but without the full muffler delete (which had a bit of a raspy sound at WOT, even though it was fine at part throttle and idle). Hoping that the Flowmaster Hushpower II mufflers (which are really small) will take the edge off the sound and leave it rumbly but not raspy.

It'll look like my last one, but with small mufflers under there to help keep it mature sounding lol:

[ChrisV]

Ok, the braided stainless brake lines are in, and the axleback is going on Monday, so tonight I did something just for fun: subtle CF graphics front and rear:

[Cookie Monster]

God damn ricers.

[MexicoCityM3]

Oh my god you just ruined it!

I don't like it on the front, but it's nice and subtle on the back.

[CJ]

The i fell off. Ruined.

[ChrisV]

Just got my exhaust done... Sounds wicked.

[FlatBlackCaddy]

Carbon fiber stickers.....Sweet!!!!

You're going to be the coolest kid at your high school.

Someone should figure out how to swap in the new TT V8s and 8ATs into these

Blend the best of the old and the new

Nice sound! How is it from the inside. Not too loud?

[ChrisV]

Barely hear it inside, until WOT, then it rips.

Installed one of these:



And now I have aux in, USB in, and BT streaming audio/handsfree phone action. It replaced the CD changer in the trunk and shows track info on the NAV unit, and the steering wheel controls change tracks and allow voice control for the phone.
