I keep coming back to the E38's... I know, I know. While I am tired of them (to a point) - they are awesome at what I want a larger sedan to do. Ugh.....

Speaking of hot 01 E38's. Have you seen this?

So freaking awesome.

The same guy that did that E39 touring chevy V8 build awhile back.

Even turbocharged it.

i actually came across his build thread on m5board just yesterday. Your discussion of selling your m5 got me reminiscing about my old one. I miss it, but am glad I sold when I did.

Anyway, his build was very nice. I love the idea of the S62 and 6 sp in the e38 platform. I wouldn't have taken off the M-Parallel wheels or added the supercharger, but it is still awesome.

Yeah, that's pretty. It's a weird world when people are *adding* iDrive to cars, but other than that it's hard to fault.

It's weird on page 8 of that thread there is another E38 S62 swap. Is that a thing now??
