My pictures, in random order: i stopped looking half way.. not because they aren't interesting, but because it depresses me that we don't have such a strongly knitted community of BMW enthusiasts here in the UK where you can find a 2002, a CS, a M3 GTS (lookalike), a tuned F11, a brand new F30 and a boggo standard E90 330i all in one place

Yes the 750i is the biggest engined variant of the E38. BMW did experiment with a 6.7 V16 in the E32 but sadly it never made it to production; http://www.bmwblog.com/2009/11/02/bmws-secret-7-se...

It's a small country What's cool is that the brand new F10M M5 (which costs 200.000+ £ here) pulled in later in the middle of the mix, and walked around checking out E30's and such. Love those kind of BMW guys! bmthnick1981 said: caraddict said: bmthnick1981 said: Some nice cars there, thanks for sharing the pics. One of my current BMW; Excellent and rare beast! I love it.

The car I saw looked modified, so it's probably a gearbox modification. Thanks for the info. If I even get an E38, 750i would be the one to get!

They have a terrific following in mainland Europe, but at UK shows the e21 seldom makes double figures. 02's have a pretty strong following but there is definitely more of a division between classic and modern cars. I love the GTS in the pics. I'd love even an ordinary M3 in that colour. There's something about orange BM's.

Less is more.
I'm guessing those bits are left unpainted to show your wares but I'm not sure about the look tbh. Just my opinion.
