    Euro E38

    Hello! I will introduce my old 728i :-)

    It's my daily and because here in Austria its not legal drive extremely low, I put the wheels on my car and put it down only for meetings and for show. It's not the perfect way, but the only one.
    It have lowtec coilovers and no air because air is not allowed here. If I drive on street so low, the police take my plates and I must go home without money. But... I'm very motivated to put my car down, change wheels and show it on meetings with this setup. I love low cars and wide wheels.
    2014 I driven daily on 20" X5 wheels.

    The rest of the car is 99% stock. Only a alpina frontlip, single exhaust tips with 100mm diameter. I changed the white blinkers to orange, black/red Crystal taillights and black sidemarkers. It have original hid and I put a set of led rings on it.
    The wheels, speedline competition, are 10x18" in front and 11x18" rear.

    I'm very interested about your feedback.
    Cheers from Austria

    You should look into buying OEM VW Speedline Caps. Shoot me a PM and I'll point you in the right direction if you're interested. Sweet ride!

    Thank you for your feedback, I'm very happy when people like my car :-)

    @Mike36 ... If I changed the centercaps, I must take it from Porsche because this wheels are made for it. ^^

    Love the color and the wheels. Only thing I'd probably change are the angel eyes, but thats just me.

    So, is that you in the driver's seat?

    Gorgeous car, and I love the pick of wheels on it. The Alpina lip is a classy choice for a classy car. I also love the little detail on the interior - the rear window curtains. I haven't seen that before, but it just accentuates the classic lines. I think the E38 is the quintessential classic BMW - or will be seen that way in the future. Moreso, than even the E39. It's the equivalent to the W140 Mercedes S Class, but cooler, more stylish, and more hip with the times...

    I'd love to join you in Austria! Get a taste for some of the European driving action as opposed to the California freeways. I am curious, and I hope this isn't too offputting a question - but first - are there annual safety inspections for the car out there? We don't have those in California. I know some states have mandatory inspections, but CA isn;t one of them - other than emissions compliance every two years. They don't check tires, brakes, maintenance records - and as you can imagine, we have some seriously unsafe jalopies running around here...

    Damn this looks good. Sounds like you need to move somewhere that allows you to drive it like that

    - - - Updated - - -

    Also which LowTec's did you go with? I think I'm gonna go with them for mine. I loved the shock and spring set up that I had from them on an E34, so I'm ready for their coilovers
