Roof racking

[Feelinit18]

Well I figured I would share, in camera phone fashion, my updates in the last couple weeks.

-Shipped the 18ins out :(
-Roof rack
-Fixed front coilover perches
-Picked up future daily driver project

Got a sick deal on a roof rack, 40 bucks. Then purchased a 2000 740il for my future daily driver. It needs some work but in its future is sound system, suspension, and of course wheels.

Ill update this thread once I clean up the 740 and snap some new pictures with a real camera

[M.Burroughs]

Damn, that 740 needs some love.
How much did you pick it up for? I've been killin' for one.

[SeanDub]

Much love is needed, but I see great things in its future

[mpower5266]

That 7 needs some loving for sure.

[Feelinit18]

Great things indeed

I happen to be fortunate enough to pick it up for free from my parents. I told them I would fix it up and they said I could have it.

It hasnt been washed in a year but suprisingly the paint is saveable

[M.Burroughs]

Wow. Free?

I **** you.

I'll trade an e28 for it. :shifty

And I thought I got a deal on mine......... very nice of them.

[southpaw]

Love the rack. I sold mine, hoping to get a thule with a bike rack and a fairing, but i never did. :(

I see some amazing things with that E38 in the future.

Good stuff man!

[Feelinit18]

You inspired me to pick them up. Im picking up some soft racks for my surfboards tommorw, not sure what color though.

Thanks man

[southpaw]

zomg greeeeen?

[Feelinit18]

sounds good we can do the math then too

[mpower5266]

Mike does not need a 740.....he will make me look really bad really quickly.


:shifty

[M.Burroughs]

It would be on like donkeykong. :alright.

[Feelinit18]

It would be on like donkeykong. :alright.

:rofl

How hard would it be to put it on bags?

[mpower5266]

:rofl

Its been done

[Feelinit18]

hmmm

[SeanDub]

Slowest bags EVER

[Feelinit18]

Could have been that slow on purpose?

How expensive is a kit?

[M.Burroughs]

they're slow because it's not really a bag system IIRC.
A full setup will cost you several grand.

[Feelinit18]

I feel like that would be a better option since I wont be tracking it.

[M.Burroughs]

If you want to spend the money....

Let me know. I know guys who do bag systems for a living. They did all of the cars in the Best of SoWo story on the mainpage.

[Feelinit18]

Im moving down to columbia SC so ill be semi local soon enough.

I almost want to go the alpina route, minus the front lip

[M.Burroughs]

You're a man after my own heart. THAT is what's up.
Slammed, 21" Alpinas. Said and done.

srslygivemethe7.

[Feelinit18]

Ive been going over options and seems like the only way to go. Plus ive loved those rims every since I laid eyes on them and now I have an excuse to pick up a set

nevar

[SeanDub]

Those "bags" were more likely an air ride kit.. not quite the same thing.

[Feelinit18]

well if it lets me change my ride height easier than coilovers im down

[Feelinit18]

zomg greeeeen?


I was thinking camo silver or white

[M.Burroughs]

I was thinking camo silver or white

that was in response to my e28 comment lol.


Dude, if the paint is shit on the 7, you need to bag it and do urban/snow camo vinyl on it.


Oh my god I am a genius.

[Feelinit18]

haha I was talking about soft racks for my surfboard but thats not a bad idea.

might draw too much attention though

[M.Burroughs]

Attention?

Son, that's what we do. Breakin' necks and cashin' checks.

[Feelinit18]

I dig it will be a second car so might as well

Lets start with finding some aplina dubs first

[mpower5266]

While I like Alpina's, I think they are a little played out. You should do something that hasnt been done like slammed with really deep dish wheels and rolled fenders.

[M.Burroughs]

You should consider some work meisters. They look good on everything.

[Stephen]

mmm, 7. Much potential

[southpaw]

This.

One of, if not, my number 1 favorite wheel ever.

[M.Burroughs]

I don't know if I'd say favorite, but they sure are nice. I thought about 'em for my 6, but it's just a hair before the right period.

Yea but ive never seen any in person and im not looking to be unique. I just want classy and clean.

I would consider works but I just got my apartment and I want a baller tv/furniture

In time though plus I dunno how much I would like that style on the 7
