    Nice haul! If you decide to swap just the AL reflectors in, I'll happily buy the lenses.

    Oh that's interesting. Would be nice to use that for a battery tender now.

    I only have one unfortunately. The driver's light was gone. If I can figure out how to swap the reflectors, I'd be happy to sell the lenses. I'm going to go back tomorrow and see what else I can find, including headlights, etc

    That's an awesome score, and good luck with your build! I'm pretty sure I was actually looking at this car before I scooped up my Touring, haha.

    For the rain sensor, I picked one up last year for $15-20 off of eBay (used) so they're not too badly priced.

    Also, any pics of the E38?

    Great find, congrats on your new acquisition! It's great to see project threads like this where solid cars are saved from aging. Looking forward to further progress.

    Oh god so many pics of the E38.

    Every rain sensor I pulled out of JY cars had the same 151 SMD cap rattling around inside. I'm going to take it apart and see if I can resolder it to the circuitry pads. I have a hot air reflow station, so I'll give it a try. I'm afraid that all used rain sensors will suffer from this. And I think they are all the same capacitor that is up next to the heating element on the board.

    Thanks! Sometimes I wish I wasn't so OCD about getting everything perfect and would just drive the thing. But there's an element of fun and pride to it too


    The E38. Has 237k miles now. Most of these pics were at 175k. For all the pics I have, I haven't uploaded any in the last 2 years probably. These pics are probably 2 years old. I have since got the proper staggered M-parallels on it, slightly increased the rear ride height after dropping it all around, and completely paint corrected the entire car.












    And here's my '85 Mustang my dad bought new, since I never get to show this off. Needs a head gasket at the moment. Has 215k on it. These pics were at various times, all on older cell phones, all at over 170k miles. (My family keeps cars for a looooong time).

    I unfortunately have no appreciation for old muscle, so I don't know if it's a beaut or not, but I admire that you still have an original from new car in your garage.

    Your E38 though. I want one now, but in afraid of the maintenance lol

    If you can work on these BMWs yourself and don't mind spending the time, then it's manageable. There is nothing like it for the highway.

    With FCP for most things, the main big things are the chain guides for the V8s and auto transmission rebuilds when due. The cooling systems have issues but that's easy stuff to fix relatively speaking. I've done it all, minus the transmission rebuild I'm having done now. Can be done if you have a second car.

    Fair. I've done most of the work on my car as it is, and some jobs I helped friends do (like trans swap, diff build etc).

    Might have to look into an E38... Once I decide I can swallow the cost of petrol around town

    From what I hear in the E38 forum, they have held their value over there in Australia. Here they are worth pennies. But I notice a slight uptick in value lately, especially for well-cared-for vehicles, since they are getting harder to come by
