Whatsup Revscene im back and i just wanted you all to know i am so glad i bought this car it has treated me so well :) Good thing i didn't listen to the 50% of you who told me not to.
Any ways, when I bought it, it looked like this,
https://scontent-b-sea.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10371747_789712347707078_6557890107565559362_n.jpg ?oh=6c1995501a7e1ab7760792f76bd44cec&oe=551BDE26
Then after a few weeks i managed to get it looking like this,
https://scontent-a-sea.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/v/t1.0-9/10421548_812285908783055_25565983735596043_n.jpg?o h=4df6c458ac7170d5c9cb8437d8724caa&oe=55000180
And now, after putting some real money into it, ive almost got it just how I want it :) Just need some coil overs! https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/v/t1.0-9/1610823_889711871040458_6064168125565348639_n.jpg? oh=086c93f1abd82a97cdb6ce5294f92b43&oe=5517D5EE&__gda__=1426458485_2c0b35f1acd87af225fce3e0ad8b135 2

Only problems ive had with the car so far, valve cover gaskets, did myself in an hour for 100$, and the abs computer, which is only costing me 200$ to repair. Louis vuttion interior is gone!! it is not black. And I love it. Haters gon hate. Lets hear what you have to say to the 16 year old who has no idea what he is talking about ;)

Goodjob.
At 16 years old, I hope you have a strong mechanical drive or a really good job and the willingness to let go of money. As time slowly passes and you put more kilometers on the car, you'll start running into the normal cost of maintenance for a "luxury" vehicle.
Probably why "the 50%" recommended to stay away, as many of us rather not deal with the costs of "luxury" vehicles.
I owned an Audi. I spent $10-12k in 2 years for just maintenance.

HOLY FUCK. COOL STORY BRO. DO PLEASE CONTINUE TO TELL US MORE.
Seriously, we gave you honest fucking advice, that most of us had wished somebody had told us, and just because you didn't like it, and you got lucky with your car you keep coming back and rubbing it in. Nobody fucking cares. If you want to post pictures of your car feel free. But we have a thread for that. If you want to just continue to gloat then why don't you just toddle off.
BTW the car does actually look really good. Well done bringing that thing back from the surrey trash it was.

Damn guys, way to lay on the hate. Kids just 16 lol. I thought this forum was all about supporting the love for the auto industry. So what if he bought a 7 series after majority told him not to, FCK I did the same thing and I don't regret it. I drove my share of bmws and benzs and half of them made me hate German cars but I still don't regret the experience of owning one. If he's lucky enough to get a good e38, than let him enjoy it. Yes his rims are kinda tacky but when I was 17, I was rolling around in a tahoe on 24s and to me it was the shit. Now I look back and shame myself for it but that's because my taste changed over time. Kids still young, no need to deter him from posting here where he can get some more advice and what not. Who knows if this car might be the 7 that ends up looking better than the rest of our cars
Keep up the good work bro, yes I have no doubt that u will run into issues sooner or later but don't mind asking away here.

Nice job! Good to see that the salty bunch at RS didn't scare you off.
I seriously don't get why people hate on him. He's obviously more mechanically inclined than a lot of people here (plastidip wheels don't count.)
He took a risk and went against a mechanical goliath and he's doing well. He has a unique preference which is refreshing compared to all the rice burners that are around here.
There's a 20 year old on bimmerforums that makes guides that even BMW technicians read. Last thing a car community needs is to mouth off an enthusiast and potential community car expert.

Nice car buddy, that doesn't make your decision correct.. Once again, it's obviously your choice, but don't come in to a forum seeking advice if you don't want to hear it.
BTW to all the hater bullshit... No one is hating.. He posted his story and the car he was looking for, RS gave him advice. He then went against it and made his own brand new thread to show off..
Imagine going to a stock broker asking about a company. He tells you it's a poor investment choice, but it is obviously up to you. You go ahead and buy it anyways, stock goes up,
and go back and call him an idiot

The car does look nice, but it does really need to go lower, with the low profile wheels you have.
But on the back, you have an Alpina badge :suspicious: Is there anything Alpina about this car?
Because putting a badge like that on is akin to putting an M3 badge on a non-M car, GT-R badge on a single turbo Skyline etc...
Don't be a poser. Just go badgeless if you've already removed the "740i"

What were the alternatives that you considered buying? The aura of owning a big luxury car fades after awhile, especially at the age of 16.
Did your parents pay for the car and potential upkeep? For someone your age, two-door coupes are more practical and sporty. More fun to drive too.
Also most people usually swap their first car within the first couple years, if that. Its a common thing. Have fun with your car while it lasts.

I think it's great that you went against the grain for better or worst. 17 and no fucks given, I'm jealous. The world would be a boring place if everyone drove the same thing. For every piece of shit car out there, there's always at least 1 person that loves it, every cars got a car club.

Gonna answer every question or judgement just made,
I dont think my rims are ugly at all, they are lexani, not stock, incase any of you were wondering. Not very tacky if you ask me, but thats my opinion.
Toyota supra is my brothers ill post a few pictures for you guys.
I do go to the gym every day have been for 3 years now multicultural :) bigger than most of the fully grown men on here you can ask Mr.C! HAHA :fuckyea:
Im not like typical 16 year olds who actually find a LV interior " Fuckin sick maan! ". I like cars that are tastefully modified. :)
I dont think it is a surrey jack mobile at all. I took off the gay 22 inch rims, got rid of the LV interior, and turned my 3 12 inch subwoofers down all the way, LOL. If you consider my car a surrey jack mobile then you might aswell consider every other modified e38 out there a surrey jack mobile. I am going for a certain look i have in my head with my car.
When it comes to fixing my shit, I will post on a e38 enthusiast facebook page i am in, everyone there is nicer than my damn grandma and they are probably the nicest group of car guys I have ever seen.
I plan on going lower, and the alpina badge is not there for no reason, I plan on slowly converting it to an alpina E38.
Alternatives I was looking into, a 2002 s500 Benz, a 2004 BMW z4, and an 04 540I. But i stuck to what i told myself and bought myself my favorite car, the e38. And not a single dollar of my parents money has gone into this car, I have about 10 grand into it total. But I recently cancelled my insurance so I can start saving for a year for when I get my N. Had it insured for 5 months under my dads name while having my L so I could drive it. But I paid every dollar.
Good for you being 17 and driving around in a e92 theyre great cars, im sure you enjoy burning your mommy and daddys gas while you drive it.
Heres some pics of the supra,

thinking you are better than others and comparing your life/funds and age to others will not make you friends.
you can have all the money and the nicest car in the world.. it will mean nothing if everyone thinks you are an idiot
ps, you being 16 means nothing, at 16 i didnt have parents.. so everything in my life and from that point was on my own $.
have some humility.. you will thank me later
pps, the car isnt my style. but i wil always appreciate someone making a car better than it was

Dan Bilzerian has 5+ million instagram followers because people love douchebags, you just have to have enough to brag about so that everyone knows anyone who criticizes you is just jealous that you can be such a douchebag and still be liked!
Dan B isn't that much different from the spoiled assholes in Vancouver when it comes to spending all of dad's money.
The only difference is he posts lots of boobs and guns...so why wouldn't that be entertaining?
