Hi Everyone,

I have a pretty nice 1995 740il but I think it needs a lot of work. Some of the things I'd like to do are
1. Add some 18inch rims: the bolted Cross Spoke kind or M parallel(Not decided yet)
2. Replace the rear lights with either the crystal clear kind or the kind that are white all accross the top. Have read conflicting information about this so I'm still waiting for something definitive.
3. Have the matte finnish and texture removed from the rocker panel and paint it with a shiny cleacoat finish like the rest of the car as well as the bottom halves of both front and rear bumpers. (will do next week or the week after once I get my car back)
4. May have to get mud guards to protect the rocker panel once it's painted but have definitely got to see how they look on an E38 before I buy them.


Anyway, I'm a very visual person and would like to see other E38's modified or not. Even if I wasn't thinking of doing all this stuff I'd still want to just see your E38's (and any other cars as long as they're pictured next to your E38)

Here are a few pix of my ride. I have had it for 3 years and made all the transformations for the start. Hope you uys like it


My car is a 97 740il to which I had this list of goodies done : 19" Hartge Classics (19x8.5 & 19.9.5) , AC Schnitzer front spoiler, Euro clear lights all around, 2000 sport trim painted to match, color matched rocker panels, H&R custon coiled springs all around, Bilstein front struts ( planning to eliminate the rear leveling system to add rear bilsteins), replaced the factory amp with a cleaner and more powerful one and added a 12" free-air sub run by a 200 watt amp.

My goal was to make the care look sleek but standout, and to be classy and not gawdy.
