Sharp looking E38! Very clean, I don't think I have ever seen that color. I have seen it on other, older BMWs but not E38s. Looks really good though. Anyways, I saw you are in Florida. You should check out www.FloridaGerman.com. It's a car club for German car enthusiasts in Florida. We have regular meets and events and things. Would be great to see you out there!

Sweet!!! I really like what you have done. I am getting ready to upgrade my 740i and would like to know the rational behind the 2001 750 grill over the 2001 740 grill (does it not fit). Have fun.
