Anyone know if I can get a clear headlights set for the E38 - it's already been colour coded but the wheels are the original BBS ones and the headlights are the orange ones..

Wow... there is some nice stuff on that site... Also some that can best be described as "questionable" Not sure I want a rear wing on the car laugh
A good site, i can see my self spending a efw £xxx there quite easily.

Does the following actully make a difference?



Sprint Booster Power Convertor for the E46


This smart device improves acceleration by continously measuring and converting the digital signal to the ECU, with a new and altered signal

And because it simply just plugs in, it means you can fit it yourself with no professional assistance needed

Benefits include:

- At low revs, the engine responds at approximatley half the time in comparison to before

- the delay time whilst accelerating in 3rd and 4th gear, and the engine in mid range, is almost zero

- improved response for downshifts and safer overtaking

- more fun on the road

- fits all manual, automatic, petrol, and diesel models. Fits everything basically

Manual £185

Automatic £185

No, what he really wants is a flux capacitor laugh

Seriously, save your money on these scams, and get the oil and filters and possibly the spark plugs replaced, and you are good to go. Enjoy the big E38 bruiser, and well done on the price!
