    These would be perfect but I cant drop the $ right now. Just spent on some home improvements plus I want 18s or 20s OEM for tire prices. 19s arent $ friendly...

    Minus the bro part, I agree. Not a huge fan of those rims on e38, pretty sure they were stock on early e60 525 and 530.

    Love that color by the way, nice looking ride OP.

    Nice royal red, glad to see yet another one floating around!

    I think that car either needs chrome door trim or body color rocker panels, it just has too much black. I do like black rocker panels on these car but there is something off.

    Maybe the tails side and corner lamps being mismatched? May put my 01 clears tails on and find some lemon slices.

    While at the car wash someone smacked the rear bumper and left some scuff marks. I was able to buff them out but under a light you can see them. Wash took a claim and we'll see what happenes. The manager was very professional about it... Maybe free washes for life or a bumper respray?

    Looking good purp. Inside shots? Mileage? Any repairs you need to dig into or did she come properly sorted?





    Some Places remain unknown because no one has ventured forth. Others remain so because no one has ever come back......

    210k cluster I coded shows 180k from an X5. Needs minor work. Already replaced fan blades from 1 being broken. Seller who i believe buys bmws and fixes and sells replaced 2 window regulators, radiator and did brakes and rotors all the way around. It needs rear upper control arm on pass side, valve cover gaskets, maybe UTCGs as well (might as well), possibly intake gaskets, belts, sunroof replacement as some point. Drained and refilled power steering because someone used chf and I will need to do it again one or two more times. Updated navi software to v22, scrubbed the inside up a little bit and leather conditioned the seats. Coming ang nicely so far... Oh yeah needs wheels and some touchups on body but nothing serious. For 210k I think its in great shape. Car came from florida has no rust. May have my buddy wet san and buff the car and touch up the littke spots. He works at a professional body shop...
