    E38 Project

    Just thought id through up a thread on my E38 735i V8. She's a work in progress.

    So when i got her had her fully serviced courtesy of Cab in Super4bmw. Dropped in a Pipercross panel filter. Put in a M sport 3 spoke mulitfunction steering wheel as i do not like the SE steering wheels way too thin. I also had to replace the Alternator as it went within the first 6 weeks of getting the car. Now that was a pain... also cost me... Put on Clear front indicators and CCFL rings

    I change the exhaust from the standard pipes to quads which was done by Souhans. They did an awesome job and notched the bumper for me.

    I replace the original head unit with a Parrot Asteroid single Din unit.

    When I removed the side skirts I saw that there was rust behind it looked like the previous owner had mounted a kerb and damaged the body. will need to get it sorted by the guys in car craft. untill i have the cash going to treat it myself

    Items on my wish list:
    New alloys probably 18" staggered
    Eibach pro kit (she needs to be lowered way too high for me)
    put poly-bushes on her

    So will upate as I go. Any comments or suggestions welcomed.

    RE: E38 Project

    Was it custom made by them for you or is it off the shelf?

    Was a custom build from cats back. And thankfully Chris put it together in sections rather than one piece.

    Would highly recommend them.

    Would advise getting the back box as straight through would drone. Speaking from my brothers experience with his z4

    Very nice E38. Did it come from Dermot Wallace cars?
