Hitch, we Californians drive a bit faster than the rest of the US, so it is not so bad to have such a great high speed cruiser like the E38 with low US speed limits (hehe):zwink
I always wish to do more mods to Bettie, my current list is to add Eibach lowering springs and Bilstein HD front struts and rear dampers. I wish I had HID headlights and I may do an upgrade soon as well. Next I am thinking of a Cold Air Intake with cone shaped air filter. One member of the US E38 forum (
http://bimmer.roadfly.org/bmw/forums/e38/), made one from parts purchased at the local hardware supply store! This is interesting to a "Do it Yourself" guy like me. Once this is done I'd like to find a 16:9 MkIII navigation system to install, but this is a bit too much cost for me today. Finally, I wish to buy a 2001 E38 with these features installed sometime next year. The I will keep this while I wait for BMW to re-design the E65 which I do not like much right now.
