My landyatch - e38 740iL

[los02]

How did they "align" the rear with those stock wheels? Was it more or a toe adjustment? My rear left toe is tearing the inside of my tire up. I'm at stock height with mine. I'm more familiar with a Honda suspension than these E38's. That's why I'm asking.

the e38 has the rear camber adjustment bolt at the end of the rear control arm, it sits inside the wheel and the toe link is easy to find too, its a little control arm that sits in front of your strut. the adjustment bolt it there it mounts on to the frame. mine was done with the adjustable control arms i built. The place i went to uses lasers to align the wheels so its nice and accurate. only reason why i used the stock wheel in the front is because my bbs tuck too much and he couldn't get the alignment thing to grab on to the rim
does this help?

have not posted in a while, ive been busy however i have done a few things to the car!
nothing major, just little accents and things to make it more unique and more to my liking.


replaced my cabin air filter which by the looks of it was never replaced before

i smashed a fog light out of my own stupidity so replaced them with ones with black housings for a stealthier look



added some lighting!



wired them up so they'll only come on when the puddle lights come (when a door opens, or the car is unlocked). there are oem exterior lit handles but retrofitting them would be a lot more pain in the ass than doing this.
They are also way brighter in pics than in person. It looks more natural in person.



horrible pic i know, but its oem interior lit door handle. very subtle at night when its on



added better lighting to the trunk as well

some will **** the additions some will like them. I like them so i don't care!

also i decided to change my fitment. i raised the rear a bit and lessened the camber. The wheel is flush now with the fender instead of tucking like it was before. I rides so much better and looks better too in my opinion. It was too much camber out back and the fronts didn't match so it doesnt look good.
Anyway, went out and took some pics!

Oh. My. Fucking. GOD.

The new fitment just perfected it. It was baller before, but the only thing I wasn't keen on was the rear tuck. As it sits now... brb, creamed my pants.

I demand more pictures ASAP!

Pretty much what every 7 should be
I do enjoy the led puddles did you follow some sort of diy or have line made?

[Stupid Kid]

neither really. i found the wires that activate the oem door puddle lights and tapped into those.

Looks super clean! I'm rebuilding me a set of BBS RF`s now and also looking for a Clean E38.
Seeing you running 12" in the rear makes me wonder how my 13.5 rears will look!
