Been a while guys, this forum is just so quiet nowadays! :(

Well for those of you that remember my project car is my 2001 E38 7-Series - 728i to be exact.

And here's where it's at now!

It sits at 4.5 inches above the ground which is pretty low for a full sized saloon!

If I could pic a minor issue, it would be the Rims, Jas ! If peeps could see the Brembo's it would be a Trophy winner ! JMHO matey ;)

LOL warning points?! Bahh! Surely not?!

The wheels are abit marmite, people see them, people either dislike them or they absolutely love them - I'm from Luton which is a town full of magpies... so I like the shinyness!

My next mission for you is to De-Chrome her... Do you accept this mission?

Try photoshopping some copies with blacked out chrome before you accept. LOL

Aye, the plank be waithin' for yer company :P

Try it? The ONLY reason I suggest this is because Silver colour on late E38's is VERY common, and thought it could be something else to mod !

AND, did you know, if you mod it with genuine BMW material/parts you can inform BMW GmbH and you get an "individual" status plate (recognition) from them?

Cheers mate, these cars aren't the most common to begin with! It's only a 728i but it doesn't feel slow and it's perfectly flat around corners too!

Prices are definately reasonable for these old beasts but finding a good one is tough!

Wasn't after a sport to begin with but did take some for a drive - my car though felt right somehow!

The wheels I can't actually remember! They were local though!

Coilovers is a must I feel for making a car look good - lowering springs equally do the job well!

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Update: I checked my battery and it charged in 5 minutes, so I don't have to find another alternator. All seems to be OK except for the plastic "L"s with a short rubber hose that bypass the HV/AC solenoid. Those get clogged after @ 150,000-190,000 miles (if distilled water wasn't used) and cause air pockets that try to burst radiators. I have a few more brass "L"s, so now I can throw the plastic ones away. I have to be careful I don't fog the windows though, without heat or cool.

      105C thermostat replacement

      You are absolutely right. The strange thing is that when I put the chassis number on the realoem it shows that the temp sensor is not applicable on my vehicle. I will physically check for a sensor. In the meantime, do you think that the removal of the MAP activated thermostat will effect the temp gauge on the dial instrument item 6? I am tempted to add a dummy resistor , 11.5ohms - 13watts , to simulate the MAP thermostat. Your thoughts?

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Morning Andrew I normally disconnect the Neg lead only, some folks disconnect both a few even say disconnect both and touch them together. Goes without saying both sensor plugs need to be checked and a squirt of contact cleaner applied never hurts 😅 Dave

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Hi Dave, I fitted one of the sensors on the rear but it has made no effect as the light is still there, I will fit the other sensor tomorrow and see how it goes then. You mention the disconnect the battery, is there any pattern to this ? is it both leads or just the negative lead? cheers Paneuro.
