I am not surprised, especially given Bangle is gone.

BTW, hopefully the LCI will correct the fugly front end of the F30. Hell... it does not matter, I will not be purchasing one anyways.

Few photo's I've stored up.

First two were taken prior to the 135 getting squeezed out and banished to the Great White North (where apparently it's serving as some really nice hose-heads daily driver).

The ONLY 'New' BMW product I am even remotely interested in (M2). I am certain BMW will over price it, which I would consider a used/CPO'ed 997S first.

That 3er looks really good ... I love those wheels !! I came VERY close to going with the 335 ... it really is a great car

The only reason I went with the next size up was because on the weekends I am the Dad that brings my son who is almost 15 and his friends to where they want to go (and these kids are as tall if not taller than I am.)

Here is a pic I took of the red E38 - will be selling it in the Spring.... or whenever. I was going to do that last fall, but I got behind the curve on that. Oh well.....

210,000 miles if you can believe it.

No. I'm owner #3 as best I can tell.

The fella I bought it from had a bit of... 'fun' with the car......

It has been modified a fair bit…
Something you don’t see on too many E38’s.

Mechanical:
• H&R / Bilstein Suspension
• 3.46 LSD differential - VAC Motorsports
• Eisenmann Sport Exhaust
• UUC big brakes - front & rear
• RevHigh Cold Air Intake
• RevHigh / AutoThority Engine Chip
• Upgraded ZF Transmission Valve Body
• Chrome OEM M Parallel Wheels
• Engine replaced (BMW warranty back in 2002 – Nikasil issue)

Trim and Interior:
• Crystal clear tail lights
• Clear sidemarkers
• White corners
• Chromelined headlights
• Chrome grill insert
• Chrome trunk lid trim
• Window tint
• Basslink subwoofer

I really love how it drives - just soaks up the miles. Straight or curvy roads.
