    I think I've said it before, but I'll say it again:
    Scorcher's 744 is by far the best tuned/customized E38 I've seen. I love it, absolutely love it.
    And not just "I-like-to-look-at-it" love it. More like "I-want-to-merry-it-and-have-little-744-babies-with-it" love it.

    Come on now Boston Killer, calm down Ace! Must be the Xmas spirit that has you so giddy. Brings to mind that episode of SNL where the guy starts making it with his car!

    I hear delivering little 744 babies can be dicey. No twins or triplets in your genes, I hope...

    Thks 4 the link, is there any other wiring, modules harness that have to be in conjunction with the install. This wheel maintains the phone, cruise, radio, ect. i think u just lose the heat? If u put a s/c on this - just shoot me -OK!

    Yep, the wheel maintains all the functions.

    But you will need some extra bits - slipring, wiring harness. I got my kit and instructions from Vince @ http://www.mrpaddleshift.com/

    Would love a supercharger, but the price fitted in the UK is £9k - that's $17k - could just get an E46 M3 for that!

    Thks again for link, this kit priced cdn is around $21 K, dinan had a 20% rebate at the time and my buddy got the unit for me for $15,500, sold to me at same, & dinan rebated $3100 US ($3900 cdn). My shop installed so i saved there. So doing the exchange it about the same in US dollars. Now that i have the power where i want it , i'm going to do some cosmetic upgrades. It's cheaper than a mistress - so that's i keep telling myself. Where would i stand in list if u ever went to sell?
