Ultimate E38 M7?

Recommended Posts

The drivetrain changes here for me are the ultimate goal. Anyone got a E39 drivetrain lying about they want to get rid of?

That's so funny, a few days ago I was thinking how good an E38 with an S62 might be, but wasn't sure if it would suit auto or manual more.

I really like this!  Been following the build from the beginning - done right.  I am an e38 tragic now after 11 years of ownership.   His interior looks like a nice place to be....

I really wish he went for a classic BMW wheel like the mpar or maybe even the e39 m5 wheels but other than that it's perfect!

Agreed, the wheels make it look a bit ghetto

I love the wheels, they look like they cost a million bucks.

I followed this build from the beginning and it's gone through a progression of wheels. Here are a few of his past choices.

It'd be nice if the S62 drivetrain was as cheap and accessible as it is in the US.

Started with M-Pars.

He's always had great taste in cars. Heres his last E38.

racing dynamics suit the e38 best by far followed closely by the m-pars.

RD2's are a pretty sweet wheel in general IMO B)
