Continuing with our 2 years of TestDrive celebration, we've filmed a brand new episode of TestDrive Spotlight on our own 2001 BMW 740iL.
This video is a full tour and review of the 2001 BMW 740iL E38 7 Series, going over all the features of our late production model cosmos black metallic paint on sand beige leather interior. This vehicle is equipped with bi-xenon headlights, park distance control (PDC, parking sensors), headlight washers, power folding mirrors, soft-close trunk, 6 CD changer, widescreen navigation, rear and side window sun shades, power moonroof, Motorola StarTAC phone, DSP (Digital Signal Processor), front & rear heated seats, interior chrome line trim, M parallel rims, sport suspension, rear self-levelling suspension, Steptronic transmission, and plenty of interior upgrades from the V12 750iL including B-pillar trim, C-pillar lights, wood map light trim, rear wood ash tray trim, and custom cup holders.
We go in-depth with this episode of TestDrive Spotlight on our 2001 BMW 740iL, showing all the exterior and interior features of the car, take it for a road test to talk about the performance, handling, and comfort, and wrap up with our thoughts on BMW's 7 Series.

@PRNTestDrive
@PRNTestDrive 6 лет назад
First off, it’s my car, so I’ll do whatever I want with it. The grille badge is an official badge from the BMW Car Club which I’m happy to show off. The ‘cheap plastic thingy’ is BMW’s Natural Air clip that keeps the interior fresh.

It can be your daily car too! For the most part these are affordable to pick up and the maintenance isn't that bad if you're able to do some of it yourself. Despite the few small problems we're hoping to work on, the car hasn't ever broken down on us, which is better than our previous 2 cars.

Really appreciate your videos. Professional and comprehensive. Very few E38 footage out there. I've wanted a 750iL since 1989. Owned a 533i and E34 since. May have the chance to buy a `98 750iL in the next few months. Both the E28 and E34 have been costly to service and replace items. These all have inline-6s. I spent 4x what they were worth over 10 yrs. ownership. Any car you are passionate about will be costly. Best to get what you truly want, can afford upfront, and how it fits your lifestyle and connects to your soul. I remember when the E38 was launched.... a very exciting time. Tyring to locate some of my earlier design and test magazines from that era to motivate me more to save for this 750iL - which I plan on having it replace my E34 as a daily-driver.
@PRNTestDrive
@PRNTestDrive 5 лет назад
TestDrive was essentially created because of the lack of E38 videos online. In the year leading up to my purchase I'd search endlessly on RU-vid for videos about these cars but never found anything I liked, and I wanted to address that once I got mine. If you can get your hands on a clean V12, do it! Prices for these have already started to creep up here in Canada, people are going to start to want them a lot more.

G'day, I found your channel by chance, as I was looking at some old ads and promo videos on the E38s, I was considering getting a 740il 1999 black model. How much did you get yours for? I also noticed the Avant 4 or the MCMW Android units fitted for the E38, are you considering getting either one of these Android units to replace the old GPS? seems like a good idea, would like to see your future video about it, if you do ^_^
@PRNTestDrive
@PRNTestDrive 2 года назад
Hey there, I never did any modifications outside the OEM realm with this car, but I do know a number of owners have swapped in newer radio units without any real issues. There are a number of E38-enthusiast groups out there, on Facebook and various BMW forums. I'd check into those to see about any mods you might be interested in.

Hey PRN. Love all the woodtrim pieces you put all over it aswell as the glass sunroof. However, at 3:23 the dashtrim seems to be going off. If you go to e38 .org and scroll down to "Davids project notes" and 12th from the bottom there is a DIY on how to fix it on both sides with images. Love the videos. Bought myself an e38 3 liter diesel and so looking forward to upgrade the woodtrims and such.
@PRNTestDrive
@PRNTestDrive 6 лет назад
That stupid bit of trim has always annoyed me, the fix looks pretty straightforward too, thanks for sharing! My hope is to eventually get a full leather dashboard, so if I do we'll definitely be fixing the side trim at the same time. We have a few interior fixes that need to be done, and these are definitely on that list.

I got a e38 730i about a month ago to replace my e46 320i. It might only be a 3L V8, but man does it get up and go when you press the gas pedal. The e38 is a great car no doubt! I have already made about 600km in it and has not let me by the side of the road.
@PRNTestDrive
@PRNTestDrive 6 лет назад
Congrats on the purchase! I’m glad you’re happy with the smaller V8, my hope for my ending monologue was to talk about those smaller engines found in Europe, they can all be great even if it isn’t the top end. Hope it treats you well!
@codymhurst
@codymhurst 6 лет назад
I sure love mine, wish I pulled it out of the garage more :/ Even though I currently have 8 cars, all of them being European Cars, my e38 is still my absolute most favorite. We just got rid of our e66 and got a F02 750Li individual and that car reminds me a lot of my e38 but it still isn't the same.
@PRNTestDrive
@PRNTestDrive 6 лет назад
We’re hoping to do some content on the F02/01 but finding owners are difficult. We filmed one briefly 2 years ago for our 7 Series Evolution vidéo but we didn’t have the chance to drive it. How was your E66? Did you replace it because of problems or just to upgrade to newer tech?
@codymhurst
@codymhurst 6 лет назад
We didn't have to many issues. I think out of ordinary maintenance, the battery needed replaced once, the transmission gasket was replaced, and some iDrive malfunction, which BMW just has to reprogram. Other than that it was excellent, we owned it eight years and put exactly 100,000 miles on it. It was a good car, although it didn't win my heart completely like my e38, e39s, e60, and f02 have.

Depends on what issues you're talking about, we've done a complete buyer's guide on this generation BMW 7 Series talking about the different engines and what to look out for with each type.

So i changed it and with that i Used the opportunity to Change the IHKA unit aswell ( i changed from the e38 Analog/Digital IHKA w/ Rotary Fan Speed dials to the e38 Digital/Digital IHKA ). So as i changed the Blower Motor with the FSU and the IHKA unit, everything seemed to Work fine, the Lights on the IHKA unit are working all fine but when i click the Front defroster Button it works but it doesnt Blow trough the vents where it should be, instead it blows trough the Center dash air vents. Is there another Problem? After i researched in the Internet i suspect that it needs to be coded but im Not fully sure If thats really the cause. Thanks in advance!Lime

Hi, could anybody find me front bumper pin/stave/pole with bmw logo for e38 please? They use to place that pin with logo on the top of it on the corner of the front bumper infront of the lights.

E38 Empire on Facebook might be a good resource, they have a huge global community with access to some of the rare parts.

@@PRNTestDrive Thank you, but what is the reason of having it? What is the function of it, what is it for?

In Japan they used them to line up the corner of their bumper when parallel parking, gave the driver a rough visual reference for the furthest corners of their car to avoid hitting anything.

bought mine less than a month ago and it already stranded me when the coolant expansion tank exploded. I would NOT take this car on a long drive if I can avoid it, and not wanting to break down again, I'm probably gonna sell it before I even register it and take the loss. These cars are ticking time bombs.

It definitely depends on the maintenance and condition of the car, however that's not always set in stone. We bought this car without any service history and the generic safety certificate which basically meant we went in without knowing anything. Aside from the leaking gas tank which is a rust issue, and the catalytic converters we repaired earlier in our ownership, we've never had any trouble. It's been more reliable than our old Honda.

It doesn’t depend on maintenance. Second owner here and the first owner treated this car as if it was a king. It still had problems. If you can get rid of it, I would. It’s a Sunday drive car not a everyday car due to the gas mileage and unreliability of it.

Well it only took 20 minutes to upload, what I meant was we started to upload it around 1am when we finished working on it.

It was, yes! Just the first movie though, the subsequent ones switched to the Audi A8L, which is a car we've wanted to feature on TestDrive for many years now.

I think our main emotion is sadness since we can't drive it like we used to. One day we're going to get it fixed up properly though.
