E38

Here's a thread (http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=270780) with a couple of pictures (1/2 way down) of an over-badged (and quite unattractive, IMO :devillook ) 7 with these Alpina wheels.

umnitza: sorry offtopic. but you got pics of comparison on all the DDE lights side by side for the 7 series?

U R welcome. My DDE Enhanced are still in the box, hopefully will get to install during the next few weeks, along with the Victor wheel and aluminum guage rings. BLING! (just a little :) )

getting colder, they'll look better at night;) BLING is right;)

actully i wanted to see how blue, the blue one really is vs. the white one. My friend has plus on his M3, and there sorta blue as is.

and aluminum gauge rings.

Where did you get your aluminum guage rings?

ebay. There are many to choose from: chrome, stainless, aluminum. I went with aluminum because I don't like it too shiny and I don't want sun reflecting in my eyes if it hit's it just right.
Do a search for "e38 rings" and it will get you a few. They are in the $35 - $75 + shipping range.

The Z8 & E38 both have a 72.5mm wheel hub...so there shouldn't be a problem with the Z8 Alpina wheel.

The link below (to the online ETK parts database) will give you the wheels dimensions and offset...again which is in spec for the e38.

Whoa, the Q man on BF - good to see/read you!

Yeah, I guess it's been a while since I've posted here. I come over to check out what's going on every now-and-then...but rarely post...btw, nothing against anyone either. That "snakebitten" thread is off the chain...it has a life of it own!

It appears RF took a big dump or something...it's been down a pretty long time.

Actually, it's called the Newb - get it right, mister! Yup, out of control.

And, what are you doing with yourself if RF is down? (besides posting over here...)

Man I have answers coming out my fingertips but no questions! :D Nothing but "upper classmen" here...there's no one to rescue from "newbness" and shine the bright light from the heavenly Roundel to lead them to a path of BMW satisfied ownership.

I actually had to do more work today! :eek:

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Q, nice rack! :biglaughb

What do you guys think about these? I saw this over on the 5 series forum. They are the new Iforged Essens with 5" lip. The ones shown below are 20x8.5 Fronts and 20x10 Rears. The black ones may look cool on a Black E38, but I would rather the brushed aluminum finish with the chrome lip on my Arctic silver E38.
