BMW E38 restoration can be difficult and expensive, but it doesn't have to be. In this video, I'll show you how I restored my 1998 BMW 740i very inexpensively! This has been a long process, but teaching someone how to restore a BMW 740i was a lot of fun. I'll also show you BMW E38 headlight replacement, BMW E38 taillight replacement, and how to fix the cigarette lighter in your center console. Plus, I'll show you how Maaco paint quality can transform the look of your vehicle.
A huge thanks to @AutoAuctionRebuilds for giving me the e38 so I could rebuild her!

I still can't believe you saved this one! When Randy first showed it, I thought it was headed for the junkyard for sure. Great work, Mike, your efforts are appreciated.

When you look at the BMW when Randy brought it home and all the problems it had while looking like a rat condo and see to it now it is amazing that it was possible. Worth all the work from rescuing it from its LKQ future to what it is today. Paint is wonderful and the price is excellent. New parts yard with better prices and they have the parts you need. That doesn't happen often. Good scanner for a reasonable price. I'd have to drive the car for a while so everyone had a chance to admire what you've done.

The original color was probably Champagne beige metallic which does have a sort of pinkish hue to it. I worked at a BMW dealership back then and it was the color of the first 7 series we received in 1995. It does have a pinkish tint to it but I thought it was a great looking car. The early cars were plagued with the Nikasil engine problems and we replaced a lot of engines in 95 and 96. You got the common PCV valve issue figured out but the other Achilles heel is the timing chain and guides. When the cars reach 100k miles you're on borrowed time before they fail and jump time. If those haven't been done, or you don't know for sure, my advice is sell it asap. They're great cars if you keep up on the maintenance.

MWM, my friend. You’ve outdone yourself on this one. It was, at best, a parts car when Randy bought it. If I recall correctly, scrap was about $250 per pound at the time so he basically bought it for it’s scrap value. And just look at what you’ve done: you turned a 4000 pound pile of scrap metal into a car that many people would be proud to drive, the ultimate silk purse! I know you’ll drive yourself crazy if you spend too much time nit-picking the paint job, so don’t! We obsessive-compulsive car guys can always find flaws in finish work that most people can’t notice, so these days I try to concentrate on the 95% of excellence and I suggest you do the same. I was so insanely O-C when I was in my ‘20’s that I once sold my favorite Corvette a month after paying $10k to have it stripped to bare fiberglass and painted. I couldn’t stand the fact that the paint shop corrected the fender seems that slightly showed on most ‘68s from the factory! I miss that one but in hindsight I learned to appreciate and enjoy the 95% excellent parts of a car. Also, I’m amazed that you got a 95% excellent paint job for $1100. I would have thought that the paint and materials would have cost more than that. Wonderful, wonderful job you’ve done on that now beautiful E36 Mike! Peace, DrRick
