ORIGINAL EXTERIOR SHOTS

redfly's 1997 BMW 7-SeriesHow he looked on eBay before he was mine. Note the mudflaps. I know that some like them, but I couldn't take them off fast enough. I gave them to someone with an e38 in Oklahoma (hey Jeff!) and he seems really happy with them. The pictures below are from my driveway with the mudflaps removed but no other changes.

redfly's 1997 BMW 7-SeriesThe wheels are 2 piece 16" BBS wheels which were on the car when the previous owner took delivery. I have not seen these on another 7 but a version of these are quite common of 5's. They're only 16" but they look great and use cheap 235/60-16's...

redfly's 1997 BMW 7-SeriesI know they're not the typical high performance low profile wheels like the 18 to 20's, but they seem to cheat the eye and have a good look to them even though they're only 16's.

redfly's 1997 BMW 7-SeriesThe Vermont Green seems to be pretty rare. I have only seen one other on eBay. Most seem to be Oxford Green.

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.
