Wow, this build is great. Keep it up. Sub'ed.

thanks dude!

I know it is extreme but could you imagine this thing with about a 2.5" chop on the roof

haha i actually thought about it lol but thats a bit over my head

It would look amazing, you should take one for the team and do it.

maybe one day

jaw dropped and hit my desk man . Impressed beyond measure

Just read the build thread, love it!

I'm running BC coilovers also on my E38, only difference is, they go no where near as low as yours.
What spec coilovers are you running? Spring rate/length/make would be a great help. Thanks.

mine are custom valved with 10k swifts up front and i believe the rears are also 10k. stock height springs. When i ordered them BC would custom valve the coils at no extra charge. i told the guy i wanted to be able to put my car on the ground if i wanted to and sure enough lol

How come, that I've missed this project?!
I really like how much effort you put into your seven.
Are you planning to finish off your paintwork with some proper sanding and buffing? Because even on the pictures you can tell it looks really bad It needs some nice glossy finish
Oh...it was very good move going from tucked to flush fitment!

i know man, i plan on redoing the clear coat. first attempt it ended up too thin and after sanding and buffing it turned out pretty dull
when i have time again i will re do it.

Sub'd this is really good

This makes me want to buy an E38 and rebuild the 3-piece wheels collecting dust in my garage for it. This car is so absolutely wonderful!

[DER E30]

This is badass, nuts that it can tuck 12s!

[e38art]

so i split my wheels, refinished them and had some custom work done....





silver faces, copper hardware.
RS waffles/hex custom fit (will thread on) and face machined to match patterns on waffles. waiting to mount tires.

rear brakes are in the machine shop getting modified to fit the spindle and once i get my new front rotors i can finalize my front brackets too.
things are happening, slowly but surely

I love what you're doing with this, fantastic looking machine!

thanks man, I'm glad people are enjoying where im headed with this

[e38art]

decided to put the e38 on the road for a bit and drive it. had no choice since I'm moving.
got the wheels on, did some maintenance recently too but unfortunately might have to put the brakes project on hold for a month or two until i move into my new house.
also working something out to redo the clear coat on the car and get it shining finally.
for now this is how she sits


raised it a bit to make slightly more functional lol honestly tired of scraping around and not being able to go places because the car is too low

[lamsv]

That copper finish. The subtle approach is just spot on!

I have a set of 19" 3-piece wheels in 5x120 sitting in my garage. Everything I see this thread, it makes me want to buy an E38 for them!
