Greetings to Éire from Bavaria/Germany! This car was manufactured in the BMW plant Dingolfing (80km away from me). Many neighbours, friends and relatives worked on this! We're happy you enjoy it!

I have a e38 2001 740iL 388 000 km Russia, Siberia Best beautiful car

@habzrahman8315 2 года назад

Totally agree the bmw and merc from 80s and 90s are what you call cars...

Best looking 7 series to date!

@Krzysztof_88 6 лет назад

Yeah, G10 is probably the best 7 series but not the best looking. E38 is the one

@cemyukseloglu1 6 лет назад

G11/12*

@Krzysztof_88 6 лет назад

Cem Yükseloglu Yes, you're right

@SiliconClassics 6 лет назад

E38 is the best looking 7 series made to date, period, no contest, end of story. Thank Chris Bangle for ruining the line starting in 2002, and new models still haven't returned to the understated elegance of the old ones. Future classic.

@johnhouston8297 4 года назад

... And still 🔥

@corneliusdrvanderbilt822 6 лет назад

You have made me proud of my E38, 5.4, V12 '98 with only 85,387 miles, American Specs, is quite a bit more luxurious with double glazed windows, curtains and the rest. Yes, it is a great car to own and drive. I use it only for European Travels. The engine really opens up and roars on German Autobahn. Like you I have 235/50/R18 front and 255/45/R18 ContiSports 3. Pixels on the Dash are almost unreadable. I suppose I need to spend some money to make it look like yours. Congratulations!

@CHARCHIKS 6 лет назад

Absolutely stunning car. Far better than any brand new cars coming out now

@jes9856 4 года назад

Exactly! I mean is it cause we are just getting old but maybe not its just the newer generation of designers have lost their way. There is no fucking doubt about that. Each line on this car is there for a reason cause the 7 after this is just terrible needles silly fucking miss guided trying too hard fuck I could go on all night. Who the fuck gave the go ahead for the latter? bloody madness and wtf is with the grill on the 2020 version? Am i alone in thinking its just shite?

@konliner9286 6 лет назад

Thank you for taking care of this car. Not many people want to restore 90s car.

@SIrAiLoEtX 6 лет назад

Got myself a e38 and I'm about to restore it so that it looks brand new like yours. Got the same color and I love it :) you did a great job

@Frikoo 5 лет назад

Well? Did you do it? There is no video on your channel about it...

@jomo0581 6 лет назад

@USAS12 6 лет назад

Gorgeous car! This is how i want my E38 if i had one. Those ''Tomorrow never dies'' rims are HOT!

@monirmualla 6 лет назад

This is the most beautiful BMW ever made !

@mickkennedy1344 6 лет назад

That's an elegant cruiser -- no need to hard accelerate through the gears in a motor like this, relaxed driving, roll the window down and listen to that straight-6 (with a hidden switch to bypass the silencers/mufflers, of course)

@maccca78 6 лет назад

Man,that is BMW for life.One of most beautiful ever.

@MrSTALLION1988 6 лет назад

Very nice. Keeping an old classic looking good.

@armen45100 6 лет назад

This was the king of cars at one point.

@habeebnihad7715 6 лет назад

I had 2000 728 I and 1996 728 I, and I never felt that the engine is not powerful enough for the weight of the car, great engine and transmission, love it.

@RivieraByBuick 5 лет назад

Engine is fine. But the tranny is not...why the hell torque converter clutch disengages on 5th gear and above 90 kmh only? If the clutch was involved on all gears (like my same age renault does) it would completely diffferent experience. By the way, how do u find the difference between m52tu an m52 non vanos ?

@MichaelRoninTV 6 лет назад

Wow man, amazing work!! Love the car :) I have an e39 540i

@TheFishingMusician 6 лет назад

Just got rid of my non vanos e39 540i 6 speed and got an e92 335i... missing the e39.

@Markjw25 6 лет назад

I also had an e39 540. But it was written off 2 years ago. I miss it so badly 😭

@vruiz78 6 лет назад

The E38. The best looking 7 series imo. Keep up the good work.

@azoozi031 3 года назад

Definitely the best color BMW ever produced.

@dfwrealestateservicesllc2878 6 лет назад

The last of the glorious 7 series.

@adriansierra1 6 лет назад

Congratulations. Yours is probably the most beautiful e38 7 that i have ever seen. And the little spoiler in the back?...fantastic. Again, congratulations.

@makosasimakis118 4 года назад

Looks like a luxury house inside ... timeless bmw design

@carlkolthoff5402 6 лет назад

Beautiful car, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this! Great inspiration for my E39 restoration project too. E38, E39 and E46 are some of my favourite cars ever.

@adibansal96 6 лет назад

Loved this video! Attention to detail bought a smile to my face 😁

@joergvanho1982 6 лет назад

@thisisgevan 6 лет назад

Beautiful 7 series, your passion for this car really shows! You've done amazing work!

@natetinsley3119 6 лет назад

Great work, takes a plethora of effort and care to reach this plateau. I have a 97' a4 and I completely empathize with the side molding clips. Have been a hobby mechanic for over 10years and have never seen a personal restoration this clean, 120% bro!

@garygrenier 6 лет назад

Beautiful Car! Great Job! Owned an E39 540i 6 speed and it never looked this good! Moved to an E60 535xi recently (after a few year gap in BMW ownership). Glad to be back in a BMW!

@mtxrawkus 6 лет назад

One of the most handsome cars ever built, for sure.

@vviiper 6 лет назад

@andrewward9601 4 года назад

Very nice indeed, that straight 6 is a great engine, along with other fine engines from BMW.... I would love a E38 750 Li V12

@alejandrocalle5326 6 лет назад

Love this model design. It's a classic.

@k9forkids 6 лет назад

I always wanted this Car. Most 7 series ended up With Ballers who don't care to spend the money it take for the up keep and every 7 Series is run into the ground. This would be a great Car to rent out for Movies, cause this looks like Brand new

@corazon335xi 6 лет назад

Beautiful car. Stunning actually. Personally I love 3 series with the exception of these 7 series an some 5's of that era. The body is so sleek and the paint is gorgeous. You're attention to detail is phenomenal. This is high on my list of dream cars.

@iain2030 6 лет назад

Stunning looking car. I had one and really regret passing it on....

@Zilvinas021 6 лет назад

@derekstocker6661 6 лет назад

Top class job, looks superb. I'm running an E36 325SE with 157k from 1994 and trying to get it up to spec. Runs beautifully and sounds good, Dunkel Blue, its coming along but takes time and money but what a great drive, no tearing about but such a nice car. Thanks for sharing, great looking car and great job!

@shaundahmad1 6 лет назад

Great job! Had a 2001 740iL. Had the 6 Series premium package 19" inch staggered fitment on mine. Owned an auto detail company for 6 years so was super clean and sharp like yours. You have done a fantastic job. Never sell it!

@stevem2323 6 лет назад

@WiseWik 6 лет назад

Damn, that's a fine piece of metal right there! The golden age of BMW and arguably of the industry as a whole. This car is probably better than the new 7 series. Pure class!

@scottwebster9101 6 лет назад

Beautiful car my friend and great attention to detail, perfect video and perfect 7 Series.

@TheKRVR 6 лет назад

Absolutely stunning! That car is very lucky that you care for it so well. I have a 2002 E39 M5 that I lavish the same sort of attention on, and I'm glad to know there are other that do the same for BMWs of this era. The E39 and E38, I don't feel, have been matched by BMW; they represent a real peak in my opinion. Thanks for sharing this!

@tuemose22 6 лет назад

@gregorytrane7828 6 лет назад

Just love those E-38's and love all older version BMW's. These kids today just don't understand a no frills driving machine and neither does the new corporate BMW office these days. It's disgusting and disgraceful that they don't offer improved versions of these and E-46 and so on of these generations. It's a total shame !!! I'm more German than they are in this regard-very sad !! And for the record I bought 10 to 15 BMW'S including the newer iterations but was disappointed in their lack of agility and drivers feel that previous generations all shared.
