    Love an e38! Definitely coilovers, m parallels, fully black interior, and an alpina lip. Then start a trade up series, that would be good to see

    Lovely looking E38! One thing, to read all the codes from every ECU in these older BMWs you need to use the round connector in the engine bay, it requires an adapter but will read out a shitload more ECUs and properly read the engine and transmission ones.

    • @Koffinfikill
      @Koffinfikill 2 года назад +2

      if I remember correctly all the facelift models of the e38 had obd connectors instead of the 20pin and it's behind a little cover that pops out by the cup holder

    Alpina front splitter is the most common one but AC Schnitzer also make splitters. I would drop it on a set of ultra low BC coilovers (they make a set for these) and put some fake splits on it like a Dare wheel. do a budget bling build. sort the paint. get it machine polished. tints all round ... and then turbo it or fit a supercharger

    M-parallels, tidy up the front end suspension (control arm bushings, tie rod ends, end links), new rubber and DRIVE IT. I have had all manner of cars and it is one of my favourites.

  • @turbophl7259
    @turbophl7259 2 года назад +2

    Lower it a bit, put a lip on it with a set of Style 37's. Fettle with the exhaust and enjoy it. Always attention worthy cars when clean!

    I'm not sure how true this is but I've heard the 4.4 V8 is actually more like 305bhp, as they developed it in the 90s (they just claimed the same as the old 4.0 as to make the upcoming M5 in 2000 look better and more powerful), over 100hp extra on the M5 looks better than like 95 extra 👍

  • @TheSpectre223
    @TheSpectre223 2 года назад

    If you were gonna keep it I'd say restomod GT daily. Mid exhaust, nothing too crazy, and upgrade the tech to current standards, and then just clean and tart it up a bit. However, that 'flip cars and trade up' sounds sick so definitely do that. Even just flipping cheap cars for profit would be fun to see, just for the variety. Could TopGear it, buy a couple of cheap shitters, do a roadtrip, and then try to get all or some of the money back at the end. Maybe not with current fuel prices though.

    7:26 the TV will need an upgrade to digital (places about that do it), with the phone a sim card will work as long as it's any network but Three (I have an E39 with basically the exact same spec Inc the 2 tone lol), my E46 also has that same old skool sat nav / TV - it's all run by a DVD in a drive in the boot which is super weird lol

    Are you sure it's a 2001? It's weird the shadow line is matte black not body colour & the phone in 2001 was a hand held flip phone not a corded.
    I'd also check the ecu through the engine bay obd aswel not just the interior one
    Definitely get a alpina style front lip non writing imo
    Also no.1 thing is check the timing guides asap
