snow so much, I mean my DSC and ABS light came on, so they are both not working, plus I'm running summer tires. So I guess I'll just leave it parked. Which is a good idea considering it's tequila night.

haha e38 FTMFW!

i am running summers on my M-Pars right now and it's possibly the worse thing i could have. I was completely sideways going down the road at least 6 times on my 4 mile trip to work. i really thought i was gonna wreck a couple of times. i almost crashed into the building at work because i couldn't turn or stop. i just kept sliding strait.


i vote you go out and enjoy the only time you can get an e38 sideways. :devillook and catch the experience on video of course

Where in Florida did you live? I moved here from Jacksonville, but grew up in Tampa and went to school in Gainesvillle. My M3 is on summer tires too & I miss driving it. :(

I graduated high school in naples. florida was nice, but I love boston more because it's so young, whereas florida is so old.

Yeah, that's what I've heard. I'm concentrating on my E36 right now, but when I get financially stable out of high school, I'm going E38.

That's really not completely true. If well kept, they're about as reliable as an E39 or E46, and the parts are in the same price range. If you exclude the price of the two MAF's I've installed since owning my 7, since they both failed due to mechanic error, I've only spent $90 on my car, for a Mobil 1 oil change; and $1.50 for a plate light bulb.

Not true.

Put a LSD in the 7 and it goes sideways really nice. Diffsonline has put a few in 7 series and one in a good friends car. I just need to find that donut video...

North Tampa - Dale Mabry & Bearss/Erlich if you're familiar with the area.

To be perfectly honest, it wasn't Tampa Proper, but Odessa.

How the hell did you end up here?

e38 = no stick unless you drop $10K and get one installed and have no e38 for quite a while while the work is done. and thats only if you can actually find someone who has the skills to reprogram your car to know it has a manual tranny.

Check your wheel sensors. Common cause of failure in the e38/e39s. I need one too, but I hate ASC anyway so it being broken means nothing to me.

One thing about the e39 that I miss in the e38 is the ability to slam an e39.
