Dad's E30 had it's first ever actual breakdown yesterday. I think he'd had it 15 years October just gone. It's a 1990 325i SE manual and is getting up near 230K now. It's had minor repairs like a clutch (1), brakes, a starter, an alternator repair etc, but this was the first time it EVER refused to start and left him stuck. I thought it was impressive - it's never left him stranded anywhere, and the first time it does..... ..... the mechanic at a workshop giving it a WOF is driving it, INSIDE the workshop . When it finally breaks down, it's in the perfect place! Dad's stoked with it, it by far the best car he's ever had. If he wins lotto, he's going to have it rebuilt/restored top to bottom

Howl of protest...!

Woke up this morning, still half smashed from last night. Brushed teeth, hopped in e36 so I could get to work on time. This car is the most uncomfortable horrible loose heap of fun I have ever driven. I do not recommend doing this to yours. Unless youre a G as dude like me. Who does this!?!?

Thanks for sharing dude ... lots of bimmersporters have accedents and the only thing you hear about it is when the wrecks turn up at rays. Real glad it didnt end up worse .. and as others have said while you might have had xmas plans ruined .. youre still here and thats at the end of the day what counts. get well soon.

When I joined the forum over a year ago there where only a few e38's here.. I guess they're becoming more affordable now. Be nice to have a 7 series meet and cruise sometime.

Sounds like the fuel pumps are sh*t - may need replacing every 200K or 20 years, whichever comes first

Seems to be a influx of 7 series into here recently - nice to see something a bit different, kool cars.

Big difference between a closed road during Targa and a road full of centre line crossing and right of way ignoring locals in their race car Hilux's and SV6 Commodores.

I have this sort of relationship with my Mrs. But with Cars rather than games. Games would be much much cheaper.

Actual. We are the Romeo and Juliet of the gaming world, she is PS and I'm Xbox. Our version of quality time is having the tv's in the same room. Otherwise we wouldn't see each some days.

Sounds too good to be true already.............

Nice ride.. The SLS is adjustable.. So no worries about putting the lowering springs on there or you could just delete the SLS as many others do. I've lowered my 740i with Jamisen springs over the EDC shocks and have had no probplems with that. I bought the springs and then took the car to The Shock Shop and they fitted them for me. Hope its ok to post this link here.. If your a DIY guy this site has all the info you'll need re your E38. If you have a hunt around you'll find all the info on shock's, springs and coilovers you'll need. http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?274-1995-2001-(E38) Before After

not sure if you're talking about the car or that strange dance that man is doing.

Seems it's only a problem north of the bridge... too many cops and not enough meth there
