I agree...that picture has lost the "classy-look" and looks like a ghetto lord's car....sorry my opinion.
I doubt that I would lower my E38 at all...it needs to stand tall and proud, not aggressively crouch

So beautiful, finding M-Parallels might be quite a mission.

The probably would, I highly doubt they would suit the classy look of the E38 though..they would look a bit too "boy racer" I think. Maybe they would look good with a bigger profile tyre?

I am one of those people that just cant leave a car alone, never owned a factory stock car. Say. Do it, it has never affected my resale value.
Your car is an expression of your personality, so go with what suits you. As for resale, you won't recover your spend, but you'll find someone who fits your taste. Go for it, just keep the old parts and replace them if needed when you sell. You'll probably use the mod parts on the next one anyway.:thumbs:

to answer your 1st question...
do you buy a car to sell it or to enjoy it?
modding is a waste of money when you sell the car but if it gives you more joy while owning it then its worth every cent spent :rollsmile:

Romeo as mentioned by everyone, it is your personal taste, i for one love the E38, i think it is the original gangster car, i also like lowered suspension on it with big wheels, but hey thats just me lol... i would personally suggest like Oppositelock the semi clear lights all round with a nice set of oem or even reps of an oem rim on it, as for the exhaust a v8 needs to be heard, but must also still stay classy, so personally i would go for a rectangular style tail piece on one side, maybe also spray the rubber lips at the back and the front in gloss black. justa suggestion, but as mentioned earlier modding is addictive so watch out lol.

OK ...so back to this thread...browsing the forums tonight I found this thread

I think the look is still "classy" and not too loud for an E38
As far as I know the E38 also has 16' ..same as these also 16"
what say the forum-ites about this style on my E38 740i

The thing is people who know are going to know those are the entry level 3 series rims, so it might be a case of 'what's that doing on a 7'? Honestly I like the M Parallels, the E34 540i M also had them and it looks awesome! The M3 rims look too modern for me too.
