It actually has high miles. I got it with 67,5xx on it. It does have a 3M clear bra on it so it doesn't have any rock chips on the front which was awesome. It was however very well taken care of at one dealership. The owner was really wealthy so no expense was spared on maintenance and it even has the 100k extended maintenance warranty to boot. The instrument cluster was also replaced so no dead pixels there. Overall, the car felt very close to new.

BTW, I'd like to think that the higher miles gave the previous owner the chance to work any kinks any issues with the car. So far, so good...wish me luck!

I like your e38 man. You have to get that alpina front lip, it would finish everything off perfectly. Your x5 does not need those LED tail lights. Dont cheapen out your car by modding unnessary parts. I think the only thing that I think can make the 4.8is better is the addition of the under carriage bar. It makes it look so much more rugged and sporty. Anyways congratulations on your car and good luck with it.

you mean this lip?




Thanks for the nice comments. That lip was the hardest to find mod. I had to wait almost a year before someone was able to make a mold and produce more of them. It is my last mod to that car!

yeah man, ive been working with my brother on his e38 and it took us awhile to finally get that part. All we are looking for now is the Alpina 20" softlines. If you know where we could get it from, please let me know. They are in such high demand, everytime we find some online or on craigslist, they are allready sold. Your e38 is perfect man, nothing more to be done. Did you need spacers for the m6 wheels? Sorry I know I should just stay on topic but its the last question.

hahahah, yeah I think the softlines are HOT too myself, but they are hard to come by. I didn't have the patience and I wanted to try something different that no one else had really done yet so I went with M6 reps. They DO NOT require any spacers. They fit perfectly. I ran a slighter larger profile up front so it rubbed the inside of my wheel liner a little bit. No biggie tho.
