Any E38 owners?

I'm new to the board, trying find if there are other E38 owners out there.

What's an E38?

Hey there!

Great looking car! Perhaps you might wanna consider the 20" Alpina wheels...

Vince,

Thank you! Actually I am ordering FIKSE FM/10s

I am staying with 18s because of Pennsylvania's lousy roads. Running 20s around here would most likely be heartbreakingly expensive

That would be YOUR BMW! And a fine model it is! Tell us more about it, i.e., options (aside from SP) if you have a moment!

Patrick,

I was breaking Terje's chops about "What's an E38" Both he and I are regulars in the Roadfly/bimmer.org board. I go by Simeon there.

"Baby" has been modified quite a bit however the mods are mostly performance related. The list is:

Modifications:

by VAC Motorsports:
External oil cooler w/ thermostat control
Port & polish heads, valve seats
Upsized injectors
Dyno tuning.

The gains in performance are substantial, especially in the middle of the RPM range.

DINAN MODS:
Dinan Hi Perf MAF w/Stage 4 engine software
Dinan transmission software programming
Dinan Stage 1 brake system
Dinan Stage 1 suspension (30mm lower)
Dinan 3.15:1 differential
Dinan/K&N CAI
Dinan Cat-Back exhaust
Note: Dinan mods by Devon Hill BMW

OTHER MODS:
Bavarian Autosport strut tower brace
Bosch Xenon HID system
Brembo GT 355mm brakes
Catz H3 fog lamps
Euro (clear) corners & side markers from Bavarian Autosport
BMW 22 mm. (740i Sport) Anti-sway bar

Summer Tires:
BMW Composite 18 x 8" front & 18 x 9" wheels rear
Dunlop SP 9000 tires, 255/45/ZR18 fr. & 285/40/ZR18 rr.

Winter Tires:
BBS RX 18 x 8.5" all around
Dunlop Winter Sport M2 235/50/HR18 tires

The remaining mods are slated to begin late next week Jan 25 th with the installation of:
S6S420G 6-speed manual gear box,
280mm E31 clutch,
B&M CNC machined billet shifter w/ lighted knob of course
custom aliminum flywheel,
ESS PD 7lb. boost supercharger
and some suspension mods yet to be determined.

I plan on the FIKSEs for track use, but Tony @ VAC is asking for my BMW Composites, and the FIKSEs may become my Summer wheels.


Have you visited my webpage?

OK! There was some history to that - my bad! Sorry for butting in!

That is an amazing E38. Haven't been to your web page, although I have sigs turned off, and you probably have it listed there!

I would like to tell one of my friends about your www site; he has a '01 740iL (SP) and is interested to modify but not sure what to do.

I better turn sigs on!
