In the immortal words of Lenny in Lock Stock... "Pi$$ off you nonce" :p :lol:

Got Stevie & Grandad @ Grinspeed to do some work today; to be fair Grandad worked really hard and Stevie just went on about his vanilla coffee fetish :lol: :p FK Coilovers fitted today as well as new top mounts up front and the new rear upper arms :) Very impressed with them so far; yes it's...

Fantastic car :)

Strutbrace fitted: 8) These to be fitted in a few weeks as well when we're back off holiday :)

Little update *FK Highline coilovers ordered and on their way from Germany Front upper suspension mounts ordered as well: BMW E38 7 Series Front Top Suspension Mount MEYLE 2 year warranty 31331090611 | eBay *Front NS Brembo caliper replaced as the original one had cracked around the brake...

Yup... Nice and big with plenty enough room for me and passengers!!! ;) Great to drive too; so SO comfy!

Oh dear god! how to ruin a decent car... looks like its got Rota alloys on as well!

Smart arse :p It's plenty fast enough for me! It shifts well enough with the slick auto-box and in Sport mode it pulls like a train! The 4.4 V8's are not much faster at all; just a higher top speed but when can you ever use that in this country?!

The FK's are designed for the E38. They stiffen up the ride a little but still allow for a very comfy ride indeed and with sensible lowering; they dont alter the handling too much at all. Just a tighter, all round feel really :) They get rave reviews across the pond for that very reason! All...

So exhaust idea shelved for the time being. Current OEM exhaust is still very clean & in perfect nick so going to leave it as is Instead I've ordered: FK Coilovers which will be with me in a few weeks. Looking for a c30mm drop at the rear and c35mm up front :) along with x2 OEM front...

Nice new MOT today 8) Cat back exhaust next via Pipewerx, Ormskirk :D

That'll be my next buy or an early 2000's model 8)

Funny :p :lol: Looked at a lot of V8's before I bought my 728i but was severely put off by their well known electrical gremlins! There were no V12's available when I bought mine (well bar the ones that the sellers though they were worth over £7k for :roll: Now there's quite a few going and...

Yeah; the phone connections are working fine; the 17 round pin connection is correct but the OEM stereo in E38's (bar the sat nav versions) are 2 pieces; the upper tape player unit with the equalizer bits and then a mid section (you can see it in the pics that's below the Kenwood head unit) that...

Yeah I know there are the patch leads out there but having had the loom out; there's nothing to connect to the spare plug on the specific patch lead if you follow me and I'm not going to start cutting wires Losing the volume/tracks buttons dont bother me; I just didnt want to lose the phone...
