Our Spotlight is on BMW's Ultimate Driving Machine, the 2000 BMW 750iL. Read our full review here: goo.gl/FDmvb3
When we started filming videos almost 2 years ago, our plan had been to get another E38 with the V12 engine to show the differences between the two. After much searching we've found a stunning example with this 2000 BMW 750iL with black metallic paint and ultra-rare tobacco leather interior.
We're going in depth with the V12 7 Series, showing all the features of the car, what makes the 750iL unique, taking it on a road test, and going over what you need to know if you're in the market for a BMW E38 V12 750iL.
Some of the features included on this 2000 BMW 750iL are self-levelling HID Xenon head lights, fog lamps, front and rear parking sensors, automatic power folding mirrors, soft closing trunk, tobacco extended leather interior, heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, widescreen navigation, rear window sun shades, rear power reclining seat, power moonroof, dual zone automatic climate control, and dual-pane laminated glass. The V12 also includes an older transmission better suited for the weight of the V12 M73TUB54 engine.
If you're serious about buying an E38 BMW 7 Series such as this 750iL then this video should cover the most important aspects you'll need to know, such as common problems, most-optioned features, and what the car actually feels like on the road. We've covered the E38 7 Series at length on TestDrive, so check out our playlists dedicated to the E38 to find out everything else you need to know.

In 2005, right after my daughter totaled my 560SL, I happened to see a 2001 740iL (E38) at the roadside in our small town for sale. Luckily I remembered the owner’s phone number. By the time I was decided to look at it, the owner took it back to his home. I came to his home with my daughter. It was owned by a lawyer who was a preferred owner from BMW dealer. He took good care of the car with its odometer reading of about 72,000 miles. Without second thought, my daughter and I drove it home. So far, I have driven it for about 100,000 miles. It just had transmission fluid, trunk lock and dashboard serviced. Now everything is functioning. It runs like 13 years ago. I am so happy to view your video and agree to your comments about 2001 740iL (38). I will take good care of it. Thank you.
@PRNTestDrive
@PRNTestDrive 5 лет назад
Hopefully she was alright after the 560 SL, but it sounds like it from the rest of your comment. We love hearing from other E38 owners, it keeps us motivated to get working on it. We’re hoping to start getting to it this winter. Hold on to that one!

I'm considering one of these V12 cars. I think they're fantastic. I'm generally not afraid of higher mileage cars if there is ample evidence of good maintenance. Is it difficult getting the car to pass smog check as they accrue more miles? I heard the Mercedes V12 engines from the 90s had the least issues across their engine lines. Is BMW's V12 as good or better? These V12 engines power the new Rolls-Royces so that is a good indication I suppose.

WOW, what a fantastic looking 750iL! Great video as usual! By the way, the car should have EDC suspension from the factory, but now it has conventional-maybe sport? suspension? Because I can't see the cables from the front shock absorbers. And what about the sound insulation compared to the W220. Is this BMW more quiet?
@PRNTestDrive
@PRNTestDrive 6 лет назад
This specific car has had the suspension system completely replaced, the shocks/struts are all new so the S-EDC system is no longer operable, however it was optioned from the factory. I'd say the E38 750iL was quieter than the 2004 S430 we reviewed a couple weeks ago, but that S-Class was almost as insulated. Either would be great for quiet driving, but the V12 wins by a hair!

You should remeber that the gearbox "learns" how you drive. So if you drive like a grandpa, the car feels alot slower. But if you always drive pedal to the metal the car feels a lot faster. My dad had 750 and after a while when he drove like a maniac, the car different. A lot more agressive

Thanks! We really enjoyed the drive of this car, but we won't spoil anything quite yet, we'll be publishing a Showdown between this and the 740iL on Thursday where we discuss if the V12 was really the upgrade we want. I think having the full leather treatment on this car helps make it feel more luxurious, something we found the E65 was lacking as they added more plastic instead of less.
@Divine_Serpent_Geh
@Divine_Serpent_Geh 6 лет назад
PRN That would be awesome. There are none of these kinds of videos on RU-vid. Showdown will be quite interesting. There are certain perks about having large German links with a 12 cylinder option. The smoothness, responsiveness, and prestige. As well as the availability of unique features only available with that trim. Such as the full extended leather as you stated, massage seats, Rear power seats etc... Now then about the E65 not having those specific features, You could always test a 760... ;) A video on that would be awesome as well. In my opinion, on the used market it is always worth to go for the V12 if they are close in price. Sure maintenance and parts will be a little more rare and pricey, but again, in my opinion it is worth it.
@PRNTestDrive
@PRNTestDrive 6 лет назад
We would definitely like to get an E66 760Li on video! There was one for sale in our old area for less than $10k but it was sold. We're hoping to be able to make some new connections out this way and get rolling on some videos like the E66.

I just love the E38 over any other BMW. As much as I also like the E39 5-Series, the E38 is still in a higher spot in my favorites list. They were like "unicorns" here, so difficult to spot one, specially the 750, both SWB and LWB versions, so whenever I saw one, it was like seeing your favorite celebrity or hero, lol. Part of my love for this generation was, of course, due to "Tomorrow Never Dies"...such awesome scenes with that silver example...then "The Transporter" a few years later, and again I freaked out seeing it. No matter how much better, faster and more advanced the new generations may be; *to me* , the E38 [closely followed by the E32] is the highlight of the 7-Series. I will get one of these one day!
@PRNTestDrive
@PRNTestDrive 5 лет назад
Part of the reason this car was and still is so popular was due to its use in films, like 007 and The Transporter. Still see them pop up in smaller productions today!
@Roddy_Zeh
@Roddy_Zeh 5 лет назад
Yup! And I'm very glad they still use them...as long as they don't end up destroyed, of course. hehehe And you know something interesting? A while ago, I used to prefer Mercedes' M120 engine over the M73, because it was more powerful...but nowadays...I don't think so. The main reason is the smaller displacement. I've seen M73's stroked to 6 liters like the M120 and they put out around the same power levels (beyond 400 hp), sometimes reaching as much as 430 hp (Alpina B12 6.0). Sure, I don't know if the M73 can be stroked to beyond 7 liters like the M120 can (7.4 in some engines built by RENNtech, even more than what AMG did!), but that's perfectly fine to me, as well as the simplicity of the simpler, SOHC 2-valve head design. The one thing I'd seriously think about doing would be a 6-speed manual conversion just like Frank Martin's car.
@PRNTestDrive
@PRNTestDrive 5 лет назад
It's hard to say really which engine is the least problematic, I've heard from people who swear by one over the other, and also from those who've had tonnes of problems with one or the other. The guy with this E38 has a few of them, and he does have a V12 manual swap for at least one of them!
@Roddy_Zeh
@Roddy_Zeh 5 лет назад
Talk about a man of culture...XD Any chances of reviewing this manual-swapped example in the future? Anyway, more and more I'm reading about them and getting to know what I'll be dealing with when the time comes...definitely not an easy task, but neither impossible.

I don't have those exact specs handy, I thought someone mentioned what they thought they might be in the comments. Rims are 19" if I recall from memory correctly.

@djtheob01
@djtheob01 5 лет назад
Thanks for you're quick reply bro. I had the 20" alpena rims and although they look phat the ride wasn't that smooth. 19" AC's or even 18" M-Sport rims are the way to go. In fact there's a saying.... 20" all show, no go.

@djtheob01 5 лет назад
Those AC's look sick on that 750il!
@PRNTestDrive
@PRNTestDrive 5 лет назад
Especially on a car like this, an 18” rim already has a pretty low profile tire, anything more and you’ll start to lose on ride feel. Hell even the M Pars aren’t ideal for smooth driving, one of the reasons why the 1997 Mercedes S 600 we featured came with 16” rims from the factory.

Quite a few, but we'd have to get a G12 760Li to truly compare. The 2016 750Li we featured last year has a lot more going for it, aside from all the safety tech like blind spot monitoring, active lane keep assist, and collision avoidance, the G12 also has optional active cruise control, night vision, self parking/remote start via the smart key, wireless phone charging, bluetooth audio, rear seat controls for phone, navigation, and media. The list truly goes on for the new one, and the V12 of the new generation would have even more standard features along with wood and leather throughout.

Hi I love waching your videos.I have the same car here in France, 2000 750IL with every thing from the factory. I have 3 questions if you dont mind. Could you tell me the model of the suspentions? as it is pretty hard to find for edc equipped models. And could you tell me the size of the rims? ( looks like 19") and how it performs during tight turns?( if tires are touching the sides or something), and lastly; what is the chippest way to plug in a usb port in the trunk instead of the cd changer that never works? With a dsp equipped car its impossible to find something online. Thank you in advance Erek
@PRNTestDrive
@PRNTestDrive 6 лет назад
Hey there, we'll certainly do our best to answer everything! The owner of this car replaced the original S-EDC system with BC coil-overs which allows him to manually adjust the ride height where the S-EDC connectors used to go. The ACS rims are 19" and they didn't seem to affect the performance of our drive, although we were limited to public roads so we couldn't really push the car to the limits. The ride quality with the rims and suspension felt very similar to our 740iL in the sense that no negative feel was experienced. As for the USB port, there's a device called GROM which many E38 and older BMW enthusiasts have opted for in order to get Aux, USB, and Bluetooth into their older cars. From my understanding the device plugs into where the CD changer would go and allows you to run interface connections to the front of the car, but requires some work. It should be completely DSP compatible, it's something we've been thinking about doing if we ever upgrade/repair the speakers on our E38.

My best bet would be to look at some of the BMW forums like bimmerforums.com and see what others might have done. If you're looking to replace it with something that wasn't originally offered on the E38 there might be some options, as people have swapped in GM LS engines into these cars.

If it wasn't for the fact that both 740i and 750i are pretty rare in my country, I'd sell my 740i Sport for a 750i any day. Despite being old, and having 12 cylinders, I trust the M73 more than the M62TU.
@PRNTestDrive
@PRNTestDrive 6 лет назад
So do we, during our ownership and over the course of the research we've done for the E38 videos we've produced we've found the same thing, the M73 engine has less problems than the M62, although maintenance costs are higher for the V12 as it's a bigger engine.

I really can't imagine that a car with 18's, 45 profile tires will feel the same as a car with lowered suspension 20's and 30's. In saying that I haven't driven either so I can't really compare. But just looking at your camera bouncing around compared to your own 740il it is a big difference.

The roads we were on weren't great, and you'll see in the Showdown on Thursday that the camera shakes just as much with our 740iL. The V12's got high quality suspension parts on there, plus they're almost brand-new whereas ours has seen quite a lot of mileage.
