I was tempted to buy it just for the style 95s but then would have to figure out what to do with the rest of the car...

I'd be super interested to see how the gear knob turns out, want to do mine as well as its flaking and shitty.

Besides, we're here to talk about Dave's car(s), not mine. Feck I love that colour!

Yeah it's not to everyone's tastes that's for sure, but I like it and that's what matters. As long as I'm looking back at it every time I walk away from it I know I'm doing ok.

This sort of height. I have a hot hatch as a daily/fun car so I'm not too worried about performance.

Have thought about it for sure, I don't think they'll quite give the drop I'm after though. I know getting real low isn't a popular thing on this forum but it's what I'm after for the 7, it's just going to be a road tripper/cruiser so I'm not too worried about firmness, I've heard good things about the BC coilovers though, not too harsh apparently. I'll pop up a photo of the height I'm looking for to give you an idea

Thanks man! Still trying to figure out which coilovers to go for, almost settled on BC but time will tell. I wish FK still made them for e38s!

Here's a couple from the other day. It needs de-badging, tinting and lowering but I love it. I've wanted a 7 for years so it's my baby.

Hot damn, I like it. I'd put some photos up of mine but I'm so ashamed of the current ride height I've just been leaving it in the garage under its car cover until I choose coil overs. Plus I can't be bothered washing it every time I go out in the Wellington weather.

Have any of you re-done your interior with Alcantara? I know the headlining and pillars are a common one but I'm talking the slightly more unusual areas to re-trim, I saw a e38 with the boot lining done and it looked amazing. Do any of you have a source for rolls of the stuff?

Shieeet, 1 might be better than none though... Both of mine are gone. How much just the glass? Move to Wellington and we can start an e38 club.

What sort of wing mirror glass does it have mate?

I'll pass for now, thanks though Brent. Although I can't stand to look at the gap between the tire and fender I'll just leave it under a car cover until I shell out for coilovers.

Any of you had experience with LOWTEC coilovers?

Mine probably have a years life left in them so are due for a re-fresh anyway, would rather go adjustables and have the freedom to raise/lower it than spend a small fortune on new shocks.
