Ricky's E38 740i In For Timing Chain Job 

A 38 in Mora is just obscenely beautiful.

Wow, what a beauty. It must a dream come true to take this baby out of the garage in a sunny Sunday morning.

What a breathtakingly beautiful car!

That is a clean e38 n the alpina wheels are a nice touch

Amazing work thank you Eddie for taking on the mob. If you guys need any work done this is you man!!!! E38 mob father Eddie 🙌👊🏽

I had the E39 540i Msport.. Fantastic engine...

Timing chains don't need to be replaced since it's soaked in motor oil. The chain tensioners do need to be replaced when necessary. This is a mistake a lot of people make, it's only to get a lot of money out of your pocket.

Amazing color + fitment a rare Bavarian Beast! Ed is a Charm! Ricky is so Lucky to have him! Quality is King! Alpina wheels are the best looking and toughest for that Rocket.

Awesome. To own a V8 E38 you have to love it.

Brilliant cars, had two E38's, a 728i and a 750iL, both had rotten fuel tanks, the 728 had been fibreglassed, the 750 wasn't as bad but still leaking at the seam, managed to bodge it with quick steel, the tanks are a killer on these cars.

Great video. Much respect to you on how you care for these cars. I wish there were more mechanics like you in the States.

Damn, that colour is just stunning!

stunning condition

Gotta get mine sorted out

Hey man ..... Enjoyed your video and really appreciate you sharing what it takes to change out the timing chain guides. I have an E38 and the job doesn't seem to be as overwhelming as I thought..... After reading the E38 repair manual. Again thanks for sharing and I sure miss visiting your great country..... Spent time in the Army in Germany and spent over there flying Chinooks to our sister NATO units there from training!!! 😊 take care be safe!!!

Enthusiast level 10 reached!

What a great work on the e38 , again you are the man! Best wishes for 2022, cheers from Durham nc

That is a very beautiful color.

Good Job. I am your huge work fan from US.

I like your bmw e38 ! ❤ nice car !

Is the best car...All about it I love it.

Eddie is the best I hope one day he will take some time for me too🙏

Job well done.

I love Ricky,s Rim s, that style

every time i see a car loading on a trailer, instantly all those car unloading fails compilations come back to me. LOL

Banger job. Wasnt that 735 "E3B VB" broken for parts?

Stunner. Always wanted an E38, maybe one day.

I wish BMW made a couple more thousand e 38s and a few hundred Alpina versions as a tribute to this model with a few mechanical upgrades for better reliability with just some electrical upgrades such as a USB phone charger and a spot designed for an iPhone or android in place of the car phone. That's it.The rest would be the same as it was originally done. They would sell out before the last one rolled of the assembly line. lol The most beautiful and elegant BMW 7 series ever made. It is amazing and above and beyond inside and out. Its perfect.

Eddie that was amazing video where are you located I also am a proud owner of a E 38 750IL and I would love to get you to do some work for me

This was a really fantastic video, thank you for uploading!

how did you do the timing? nice video as always. cheers

Is it possible you could you could post the parts list you used for this fantastic timing chain job.

damn, i'd like to fly you over for a few projects!

What suspension parts do you recomand....

The jesus bolt honestly I'm not truly not lying I've never had a serious problem with any. But I've had one thtook me an hour

I want those wheeeelzzzzz for my 2001 740 shorty

hi mate , im looking to change the vanos on my x5 m62tub44 engine cant find vanos units to buy new . whre u got those shiny ones O.O

Oh, it’s just like my 7er. It has another 7ers worth of parts in the boot.

Just found your channel the other day, gonna be super useful, mines at 260k not sure if the timing chain guides have been done before, I’m noticing a strong rattle occasionally on the startup but it goes away after a few seconds, you think it’s the same issue as this?

♥️♥️♥️♥️

Werry werry good isn't it isn't it

What is the PaintCode ??? WOOOW SOO BEAUTIFUL

How did you take out the jesus bolt so easily? Did you put the pin to the transmission that comes with the timing kit?

Hi Ed, enjoyed this video. I really want to learn how to work on these BMW M62 engines and learn more about mechanics in cars Could you advise me on how I can go about doing this? In terms of a degree masters degree training, etc? Also, how do you remember where each thing goes and do you label the screws you took off for each thing you removed?

Don't need hours of music. Want to see the work. That is content. Just moved along. Good luck with you channel.

Bro nice job I have an E38 Schnitzer on 177k. Timing chain perfect for now, but I’m sure at some point it will need doing. What did you charge for this?

I have an e38 M62TU but I don't use Castrol oil, your engine is quite dirty, I use a mobile 5w50 phone and I have a beautiful clean engine, much cleaner from the inside than yours

That's such a lovely colour, don't suppose you want to sell it do you ?

with this combination you're clearly over 3.5T gross which requires you to have a tachograph fitted in the X5 (carrying goods for reward). if not and your insurer does not know I would definitely discourage you from showing video evidence on YT ;) you can probably get away with a lie it's just a favor for a friend if they stop you on the road, but in case any accident happens you'll be in deep sh*t...because they'll ask, they'll investigate, they'll dig...

😋😋😋

The back of my key fob unlocks the boot it only rises 1 inch and if i press it again it locks but it doesnt rise .why not .

i get a lot of wind noise from dash centre after 50 mph .annoying

Hey Ed! Currently watching your vid been trying to reach you on instagram :(

What was the reason for changing the timing chain? I have a 1992 740il done 245000 km ,am I at the stage of needing to do the same?

when my 728i is in auto drive.not sports. i leave it in D most days, should it tell me what gear the car is in on the dashboard .

How many ks has it done to require a new timing chain ?

did you check for continuity?

How do I contact you? I have a bmw e39 740i 1999 and I would like you to work on it please! Thanks

Hello 777, is it 20 or 21 rims please

2.5 grand for all factory parts?

What should a job like this cost here in the states?

How much do you charge for this service ?

How much is the labour on a timing chain job ?

I wish that you lived in the United States. I would let no one but, you touch my 740iL.

where are you ill book my 728i in with you .miles dont matter .

БМВ бомба состояние но БМВ не должна быть праворульной

I'd just swap it out with an e39 M5 engine/trans and call it a day...

That sounded horrible at the end!!!
