How to Build Your Dream Car - 1999 BMW 740i E38 

*The video production is amazing! Love the new content, this channel will be bigger than Petrolicious and Jay Leno's Garage combined.*

_"New cars are boring"_ - only people with real passion for cars can make that statement. Those buying the new ones will never understand what it means though. And that's exactly what makes this car truly one of a kind.

My neighbor was sending his 96' 740IL to the crusher, but I saved it, gave him $500, gave it some love, and now it look really nice , and now he hates me.... oh well, I lost a friend but gotta hot car!

To me, the best 7 Series ever!!!

This is what I want to see. A man so passionate about his vehicle and the story behind it. Well done 👌👌👌

BMW e38 is so amazing I own 7 e38s in diffrent trims and options!

As a fellow E38 owner, I look at that thing like my dream car. What an absolute machine.

Saw a white E38 today. Jawdropping. Easily the best looking 7er ever.

This guy is on point what a bad ass car you can't get any better

Mate honestly I couldn’t explain the love you have I have too when you love you know and to know is to love you have touched my heart today

You’ve created a unicorn! Very nice! I had an ‘01 e38 msport for almost 10 years. Loved it! 💯. I sold it instead of doing the timing chain guides. I didn’t have another car to use, I don’t have the time or technical ability to do the job myself, and I couldn’t afford to pay someone else to do the job or do an engine swap. I regret not choosing to do any of those choices now. I’m currently restoring/updating an low-ish mileage ‘03 540 msport II. It’s not the same enjoyment. I regret not keeping my 740i almost every day.

I agree with how this guy feels, I've had my E39 M Sport for 17 years now and love it. Only do about 1,000 miles a year (9500 miles in last 10 years) Beautiful car👍👍👍

Oh man. I felt that. I understand fully how this man feels. I love this car too. Its a feeling that cant be replaced

A work of art. Beautifully designed. I miss those days

I own g31 540d, 1991 e31 850i and 2000 e38 735i m sport. The e38 is the one that puts smile on my face , every time I drive it.

I love my 99 Short Sport but this is on a whole different level.

You're a legend, man this is what I call a real dream. Now days kids think yeh I'm gonna get a tesla or crap.like that but I think this car is 1000 times better then today's crap thus stands out it can take a breath away as you see it. The man has put his life to this car and to make it perfect he boght 44 e38's which I call is ambition for something you really love and want. I hope you enjoy and keep it safe, and I'm glad that this video came up as recommended on my front page other wise I wouldn't known that there are people with dreams like these. I also love old classic cars from 70s to 80s to 90s. They were built to last and even with their isses they were not bad as today's cars, today cars are peace of garbage. I would chose this car over any modren car in seconds.

Inspiring work! Among the top 5 best looking BMWs of all time.

Absolutely stunning car. The E38 Sport model is one of the greatest BMWs ever made and I dont think there has been a nicer looking BMW built since. I had an E38 740i Sport for only a few months and only sold it because of its love of petrol.....Id love another one day but sadly its a case of finding a nice one.

Hopefully I will get a E38 too. This man is a legend.

What a nice guy. Genuine passion for his car. And what a stunning example. I too have an E38 that I bought as it was my dream car. Have slowly been upgrading it but only with OEM upgrades. I love it.

Absolutely beautiful. That's how you treat a great car!

Inspired, sublime. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Dmitry for awesome interview

so glad I own one these cars are gorgeous

Love your use of water in your photography; along with the e38! 😎🇺🇸 2001 740il Oxford Green with Pearl Beige-1 of 316

I had one of those. Still one of my favourite cars, if not the best one

Alpina,"The Sunrise Rims" 😍😍

Awesome car. 4 years freshening up an E39 here. Came to me on it's original everything. You've inspired me to go and fix the centre dash vent that a car wash damaged,

"How to build your dream car" ???-I didn't see anything about building a dream car. It's the work that was already done. Thanks for the help.

I love them 740i BMW s 👍🏼

Awesome car. Rekindles my love for the E38. Thanks for the video.

What a sweet car! The inside is insanely nice!

Hi mate. I live in the UK as well and I own a few BMWs myself. My daily driver and my favourite car is my 740i short wheel base manufactured in October 2000. My car is pretty rare as it has the ACC (active cruise control) option, I have been told that there were only 11 of these produced with RHD. I have a video (1st video on my channel) with the system working. The previous 2 owners could not fixed, but I was adamant I wasn't going to give up until 1 day on the day of my MOT I managed to re-calibrate it with ISTA+ and now working as it should. I love your car as it is Black with black interior. Mine is Titan silver with very dark green interior, still nice but not as nice as black.

Still beautiful after all these years

Amazing work! Thanks for sharing

One of the coolest car ever made !!

so clean and perfectly rebuilt👌

Wow mate - that's a really, really lovely example... I admire your enthusiasm to full fill your dream, and I must say i'm slightly envious but without jealousy, you've done a great job, so well done. I'm a Brit who lives in Thailand, there's a lot of good condition E38's out here, I have one, again like you I'd always wanted one as a kid but here they are not looked after so much... i'm in a Thai E38 FB Club etc... and currently doing mine bit by bit, it's been off the road now for over a year and i'm soooo looking forward to having it back in all its glory. I wish I lived in the UK again as the cost of parts here is killing me, I could have bought a couple of new Toyota's for the amount I've spent on this thing hahaha and its still not on the road - the wife doesn't understand me, but then again her English is not great hahaha, great video mate keep it up, Martin

Beautiful car😍👍

i really like the leatherdasboard from 750 along with doors in leather looks good wanna do it myself one day

now that is totally awesome about dream car I can't wait to see more totally awesome videos

Georgeous!👍

Truly beautiful car and great video quality as well. Well done mate.

Most beautiful 7. The Derrik car.👍

Nice enthusiast video with a great car and nice owner!

Beautiful BMW with the check engine light on 3:59

wow that's a very beautiful car

Very stylish car

i live the e38 740i i need one and keep it as clean as possible !!❤️

I own a E32 735iL Executive from "86, bought it 15 years ago from a retired business man who was the 1st owner from new, i am the 2nd owner . It has the optional 10.000 guilder hydraulic/electric automatic leveling suspension wich you can also raise/lower manually. it has 340.000km on it but you wont notice, that is how good and well made it is. I love it, everything is original and beautiful, it is not ruined by oversized wheels and that sort of things. Most of the work i do myself, like general maintenance. For daily drive i have a E34 525iA. I am an oldskooler so i specifically like the 70s 80s early/mid 90s bmw's. You sir have a beautiful E38

Perfect

Very tastefully build 👍🏻

Beautiful car.

It is BADASS Brother...!!!!!

A perfected perfection...

Together with the S8 Best looking sedan ever

GREAT JOB !!!

I ❤️E38 😊I have 740IL 1996 😉✌️

My second but last Dream Car

Nice car, but it's a shame that 45 e38's died to provide parts for one vehicle.

This guy has got it. Amazing e38...Apart from that stone chip ;)

My father had E24 the 635CSi somehow just because of some electrical issues he sold beauty.....Me in 2015 i was about to purchase 1998 750iL but for some reason i left that....after one year and more in 2016 and 2017 i saw the same car the person who bought that car it almost made me cry and its second time now i am watching this it almost made me cry again the best sedan i've ever seen 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I LOVE it !

I got the 728i E38 and I love it I wish if I afford to make as clean as urs

My name says it all. Nice one Ed. E38's arguably the pinnacle of BMW build quality. Superb vehicle. I fully facelifted a silver 1995 750iL and fitted Alpina 20's and genuine Alpina front spoiler. Buffalo comfort leather. Anyone seen or have the contour seat option? Compass is cool, never seen that! I'm sorry and sad to say I sold my car for a BMW Individual 745i. Big mistake.

Dude! Detailing this car monitor ;D

The Alpina wheels really make the car

هذا سيار جميل جدا فيها ديكورات جميل احسن من جديد

Awesome car mate, a dream of mine! It all started with Boomer for me too

Very very nice car, when I was a kid this was the car I always wanted too... but PLEASE sort out the engine management light and brake light on the dash board 😉

I have one of these, knew it'd go classic. 735i, numberplate is BMW 735Y. M-Pars soon!

Axperes? 👍Nice Job! Hot sunday car!

It's my dream car!!

I lost my dreamcar recently, my e38 735i manual transmission... damn im still not over it, sad every day... glad i could made at least a small video..

This one 7 reihe is my N¤1 !😁👍

3:57 fully functional engine light 😂❤️

Stunna!!

Fantastic Bavarian machine. 🇩🇪 I would like to know what’s the type of that middle mirror in interior? 🧐 First time to see lightening letters in such bimmers!!

Is that a check engine light on at 10:51 ? Or are you driving with fog lights on or something?

GOD BLESS YOU ..AND YOUR CAR... THE KING OF THE SEDAN E38 MY LOVE MY BLOOD MY WAY WE ARE THE POWER I HAVE E 38 750İL V12

I totally loved mine.....till it caught fire lol still might get another one in the future though

Im love it as well! How big ar rims? Its 18'?

I got this car my country Russia🥰 This car German legend.

You make fixing yourself a car as easy as fixing yourself a meal..no limits anything is indeed possible

My pops had an e38 l7

I have a 2001 740iL. I'd like to add the sport steering wheel. Is it a simple bolt on or is there wiring involved?

I took it for a test drive from my uncle, and it was nice and smooth. But there is one thing, is it normal for the gas pedal response to be slow?

How did you retrofit M3 steering wheel to a 99 car? Didn't 99 have single stage airbag module (and the M3 wheel has dual stage air bag)?

Only LOVE can replace BMW E38 😏

Самая крутая бэха,не когда не променяю ее))))))

Where did you get the wheels from ?

Nice cars but they are hard to drive around London emissions ect ect ect

can someone explain to me the terms "face lift", "short and long wheel base"? they are used quiet often with e38 those Alpina rims with black body color make this car glorious like nothing else. so beautiful very good taste

My god this car is the definition of MINT. I want to buy it.

Seems to me it's as someone said about war: "it only requires three things: money, more money, and yet more money."

БМВ 😍😍😍🤤🤤🤤

I prefer the pre face lift model but that’s a great looking car :)

Is this car available?
