Breaker 980 Report post Posted September 22, 2017 The drivetrain changes here for me are the ultimate goal. Anyone got a E39 drivetrain lying about they want to get rid of? https://petrolicious.com/articles/this-engine-swapped-six-speed-sedan-is-the-m7-that-bmw-never-built 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael. 2313 Report post Posted September 22, 2017 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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NUSTAD 243 Report post Posted September 23, 2017 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.... 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) 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! Edited September 23, 2017 by qube 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, the wheels make it look a bit ghetto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kulgan 1042 Report post Posted October 5, 2017 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. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

qube 3570 Report post Posted October 5, 2017 racing dynamics suit the e38 best by far followed closely by the m-pars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
