Everyone says there is nothing more expensive than a cheap BMW. But is it always true? My 1997 BMW 740iL, with over 211k miles on the clock, has managed to prove that a cheap BMW can be reliable. So why do I want to get rid of it? Watch this week's episode to find out!

Sell it or give it to me. I own currently 7 E38s! All currently restoring or restored condition. I have V12s, V8 on long and short editions. They are so awsome!

This is one of the coolest car ever made. I'm thinking to buy one as a second car.

@swokestayconshus1329 5 лет назад

Don’t sell it, you’ll end up regretting it. Do the bits that need fixing and you’ll be good to go. E38s are hands down classic cars at the moment.

I've been driving my current 2001 E38 for 7 years and apart from a failed valve body in the transmission ($450 fix), it's been superbly reliable. I know a lot of people with E38's and those who have troubles are those who cheap out and use the wrong service fluids and cheap arse Chinese parts.

You should give it to whoever lives the furthest away from you, if they promise to do a fly & drive and document it.

E38 is actually the most reliable car I ever had! And driving in this bargain luxury is an awesome experience. Great car for small price

@jaymum23

E38s, like E39s, are appreciating. 740i M-Sports being the most valuable. Still, you’ll never find a 200k mile 740il for $1.5k now. I haven’t seen a single one asking less than $5k this year, including 300k mile examples. Low mile sporty shorties can go for $20-30k.

When I got mine I had to spend 8,000 dollars on repairs and I haven’t had any problems ever since

Just picked up a 1 owner 2001 740il with 85k miles. I just did the valley pan, valve covers, upper timing gaskets, power steering lines, lower contol arms and replaced the deck with an Avin. My favorite BMW of all time. Hoping to drive her and pass her down to my son.

To open the glovebox after it inevitably breaks, you have to push down and in towards the engine on the top of the glovebox while pulling the handle. Adds an extra layer of security in a way.

I had always admired the e38 but had never driven one until last year. It was a 740i just like yours but in SWB form and with honeycomb wheels. One mile into the drive and I thought “Wow, this thing really is all it’s cracked up to be!” Solid, smooth, sporty handling. My aunt’s 09 750li pales in comparison. I was in love but the seller was asking too much imo. I do think a giveaway would raise channel awareness, and it’s a damn good channel man! I know I’ll be signing up :) Can’t wait to see where you go with this.

I’ve got 2 E38s, one is a 1996 750iL that I bought from teacher of the year Luke Wilcox when he traded it in for a track day at a race track while I was working there. Salvage title for engine theft when it was only 2 years old. Absolutely love the car and am restoring it to its former glory while at the same time it’s the v12 daily driver.

This channel deserves many more subs. This is like SoCal version of Hoovies Garage. Keep up the good work!

2001 E39 here. 266,000 km. Goes hard all day (100+ F everyday here), everything works well, BUT it was 24 months of chasing dead rubber components after I bought it. Seals, bushes, etc etc - all perished with age, from the suspension, to the VANOS seals. All of it. I bought it 2016 on it's original everything. Still ran OK though. Original everything is a blessing and a curse - it must have been treated gently to get this far on it's original everything but, it's on it's original everything.

I've loved this car since I was little and watched Tomorrow Never Dies (probably a million or so times).

Thanks for sharing another fabulous show 😊👍🏼

I have a 2001 740i. It has 235,000 miles on it and it’s still going strong. I plan to keep driving it until it gives out on me. My dad’s 740i just hit 320,000 miles, so I may have a little while to go.

@richardata 5 лет назад

giving it away is actually an amazing idea! my mom is kind of looking for a used car after letting her current one go soon, it would help a lot!!

@SocksWithSandals 4 года назад

I have exactly the same model and it has proved reliable as an everyday driver for four years.

This is one of my fav channels . I love e38's, my best friend had one with over 220k on it and it was wonderful the whole time, well other than the fisher price plastics inside.
