Here are the first pics of my parents 2000 7 series that they just picked up last week. It is like brand new and has 69,000 miles on it 90% of which were highway miles. It is stock so it might not look like much to you guys with your wicked bimmers but it is a start. :) I hope you enjoy.
P.S. Here's a link to my website which contains my car, my parents car and also my friends car along with some pics from the Chicago Auto Show.

P.S. I'm trying to convince my ultra conservative Dad to get some umnitza's.

Welcome! Keep working on your Dad to upgrade those basket weaves...
Cheers,

Nice color, but the basketweaves could easily be updated with AT LEAST the star spoke 70's from the 2001 750il.http://images.cardomain.com/member_images/5/web/317000-317999/317361_157_full.jpg

Pics are of my old 95 740i I sold 6 months ago...
I got alot of complements on the BMW wheels. They are cheap, too! I think they were about $325 each, vs almost double for the M//Spoke wheels. Plus, they are WAY more conservative.
They would be MUCH nicer and stand out a bit.
Good job.

yeah, I completely agree with the need to change the wheels, however my Dad at least for a couple of years won't be changing anything that expensive.

Just throw some pics of various 7's in front of him, and he'll want too!
Better yet, Father's Day is coming up! Good joke gift would be an "old wheel" from a local supplier [$10] and a bunch of lotto tickets taped to it........

Why not make him a member here and hang around for a while?
Maybe he might get the "MOD" disease! He He He!

Looks like it just rolled off the lot - nice and clean!
Do you have a special wood package?
I noticed (especially on your shifter surround) that it almost looks like you have burlwood trim... looks lighter than mine, also.

Tell your dad to lose the garage door opener! He has the U.G.D.O. right above the mirror. Programming instructions in the book. Press the little button on the G.D.O. motor then start pushing the door opener buttons.

Nice car! Now begins the modding...even though it isn't your car...modding is still fun.

My parents sat out in the car for a half hour trying to get that thing to work and they couldn't. Maybe I will have a better chance of getting it to work since I'm a bit more in tune with technology.
