      Oh man, would that I could.

      I like the $9k long wheelbase one too. Mad fat chicks in the back, self leveling/will not scrape.

        Long wheel base is actually a no no for me personally. I've sat in the back of an e38 you don't honestly need 2-3 more inches of leg room unless the driver is 7 foot status, but even then.

        Also y u trolling fatties like dat son? What do you think they are airbags on a budget? You got to feed them hell that'll cost more then any air-ride stance suspsension nonsense.

                  No...If you want a VIP go get a lexus please, leave clean cars alone, unfortunately people stance out e38's like above and ruin the point. An e38 is a comfy daily that can haul as needed. I would do coilovers for a slight controlled drop but never slammed to the ground.

                  That's just me though we all know how you kids love to cut frame rails and brag about how much you scrape off the bottom on a daily basis while you teeter tooter over speed bumps with the use of wood slats causing a 45 minute traffic jam on a residental street needlessly.

                  No worse then a e39? Timing guides are no fun and changing the rear shocks I found out recently require you to basically disassemble the rear seat entirely, not to mention any random electrical gremlins, you and the multimeter will be best of friends


                  But an Alpina e38 would be soooo tits mcgee.

                        My Dad owns one, and now I want to buy it off of him again because of this thread. I prefer short wheelbase over long though...
