You're a whole factory in one man. You're really great.
Hi, from the way you handled the old and new parts together with the car you are modifyingf, I can see that you are a true craftsman who loves your craft! Great job!
Amazing spec with individual Tartuffo leather and Bowers and Wilkins stereo laser lights this car is top spec. Considering the interior is exactly the same as the new facelift model this is well worth the work and if you can find the new parts on decent price it will be trendy for at least another 2 years before the next gen hit the roads. Great job frate👍🏻👊🏻
I LIKE ALL THE MODS from this video, awesome work...
Great job, I’m already impatient to watch the next episodes. Cheers.
This video really helped me with my 750Li that i bought from auction now its looking amazing.Thanks for the video👏💯
Like X 1000 000!!
Absolutely gorgeous 🤤🤤
The 7 series is just a majestic car. Knowing how much you love them I’m sure this was n real treat for you! Great job Ovi!! 💪🏻😍
Good job! Thx for sharing with us
Ovidiu, the one man army, amazing skills. Congratulations bro !!!
Hey , Thanks !!
Super!! Abia astept continuarea!!!
This is why I subscribe! For the interesting retrofits.
Just perfect ❤️
Top as always 👌
Thank you soon very much for cleaning the parts I thought I was the only one in the world who did that
Only smart people clean where you can not see
Very cool, I thought this work could only be done in a BMW factory . I follow from Libya
Glad you enjoyed !
Your attention to details is amazing! Might be easier for the owner to buy the new model instead than going thru this complicated facelift process which is for sure expensive.
yes you are right it is very expensive but if you have a car from brand new and it has a few miles on board ....
Might be a tad expensive, but can recoup some of the money by selling the removed parts 😅
What’s the cost to do this
I told you, you are genius 😊😎
Great!!
Big job ....
👏👏 great work Bro 🤝
I have the same bmw. Thinking about conversion. Can't wait for part 2 man. Maybe you imageine when you are planning to upload part 2? You're the best specialist. Very detailed your videos. Keep going. Greetings from Lithuania.
Hello, very soon 😊
도움이 됐음 good
You are great man ❤️👍👌🙏
Thank you 🙌
Hi, thanks for the video! I would be interested to know what a complete rebuild costs. incl. parts.
Is there an upgrade like this for the 2018 BMW X5 too? Awesome video.
ești nebun 😆🤚
Consider me hooked!
❤❤❤
Really nice bro!!! Quick question, where I can get the same black diffuser between two exhausts? OEM should be all black in one flat piece, not like yours.
Hello, see in realoem.com
Since the car you are working on is a 740e/Le you should switch out battery with 745e/Le (uses the same space) or put in a larger battery pack. See if you could add a larger KWh battery pack because the 745e/Le is only 12.1KWh
Hello ! yes it's an idea, but the car doesn't belong to me and a battery pack is quite expensive
@@MOvidiu where did you get the conversion kit from?
Jesus….tons of electronic stuff😅 great video👍🏽
You got that right!
Hi there, can you fit this g12 conversion to a 2014 bmw 7 series ?
This dude has very good knowledge. But small recognition.
This is the case for most of yt Chanel :/
I have a 2014 750Li drive, would i be able to do this facelift with these same parts or would i have to go a different route?
part 2 pls
It is coming soon, don't forget to click on the notification bell and activate all the alerts if you do this you will be notified instantly when I will post a new episode
Ovidiu buddy, had u faced ACC radar failure problem after converting to G12 bodykit ??
Brooo... where do you live? I would love to see the lci headlight on my 5 series...
amazing , thanks a lot for this detailed video ,
i’ve got some questions
1- what is the approximate total cost of parts ? i would like to compare with our local parts dealer.
2- what is the coding you mentioned will do it at the end ? for what exactly ?
3-middle everything worked as supposed or you faced any adjusts?
you are amazing -- thanks a lot
Hello , watch the all series and you will see everything , and for price you need to check your local dealer/car parts store/junk yard...
@@MOvidiu I saw it all in detail, amazing job, just wanted an approximate cost . Not an exact ,
I’m from Dubai and the facelift parts specially the electric aren’t Available, so wanted to know how much it may cost me
@@MOvidiu si in romania un pret aproximativ ,ovidiu?
One Laser Light headlight kosts almost 5k dollars so you can think how much this modification costs
Hi ovidiu pls can you send me a video how to remove front bumper to bmw 7 series g12 my one is se and i want to hang on m pack bumper,do you think is working?Thank you!
Is it possible to upgrade bmw x6 old to new
hi,can you explain better what must be changed on bdc coding to make them work?
or can you do it remotely
Hello , watch all the episodes this is part 1 , the appendix is delivered by the activator company , read the video description !
You are a successful person, where did you learn maintenance bmw ?
Thanks for appreciation! I learned by myself over the years, I spending days and nights to study new stuff working on new stuff .
Hi! Do you need calibrate ADAS system before retrofit? Thank you for the video!
Hello. you'll need to calibrate the ACC after the retrofit!
@@MOvidiu ok! And cross traffic radars? Thanks you!
Does all features work?? Like LED lights and oncoming car detection??
Of course .
I have a bmw 750i xdrive 2016 m...where can I find that widebody kit???
Trying to watch all videos and waiting on information for bmw 750i xdrive 2016 widebody kit ...
Salut ovidiu . Ma poti ajuta te rog frumos , m-am blocat la retrofit ul de la g30 pre to lci . Nu gasesc codul de mufa pentru far in ETK , tu cum ai facut rost de codul de mufa pentru faruri?
I have a 2010 can I make it look like 2023?
Salut Ovidiu,stii cumva daca boxele de pe e90 pro logic se potrivesc pe un f34?Multumesc si spor la treaba.
Salut Alex , sincer nu am ideie doar sa faci rost de unu de proba si sa vezi fizic daca intra in locasul lui
yeah yeah don`t cry i working on you😂😂😂
Can I buy your old laser headlights?
How was the car when you drove it? Was there any extra wind noise, rattles or issues?
no noise, why should it have noises?
Also can I buy your old bumper & side cerium grey trims?
The car owner sold them a long time ago
On a 2014 f07, are the front end parts compatible with a standard 550I or more so a M5. I’d like to swap out the bumper on mine.
I didn't quite understand ?
Do you want to fit an F10 front bumper on an f07 ?
Yes sir! If possible. I have a few imperfections in mine so if I have to paint it why not try and upgrade it as well. Also I surly hope your customers appreciate how you always go the extra mile to provide them with not just a repair but an exquisite repair!
Unfortunately they are totally different, different body, headlights, you can't do that 😕 , you need to search a front bumper only from f07
That’s kind of my research the f07 is based off of a 7 series chassis. And cool F07 bumpers are not very cheap. Thanks again for your awesome videos and it’s amazing how detailed your work is!
Who the heck would want to do this. Pre facelift is soo much prettier
Every one with its tastes ! can't argue that , but you need to understand the work involved in this project!! 😀
From where did you get this upgrade kit or you sell it and do you have bmw parts for sale?
Hello, where did you see an " update kit" ? There is no kit , you need to order parts individually for your car and your car, specifically equipment . Read description! This is educational and for entertainment, not a commercial !
Hello bro i got bumper carrier online for g12 but the bar that goes inside chasis is short. Any remedy?
Hello ! yes, send it back and order the part correctly.
@@MOvidiu cheers
de unde ai cumparat ?
i would go only for the tail lights. the head lights are very expensive
the taillights are special, but only the taillights without headlights ... I don't know what to say
I just want the tail lights, that front grill on the new 7 series makes me sick. Where can I get them?
Hello , from realoem.com you take the part numbers , and with that you can order them from any specialized store that brings car parts or even from the dealer , but they wont work on your car without the special module !
@@MOvidiu I have the exact same G12 740 Le. Could you send me the parts list? Also what do you charge to have the vehicle converted?
Hi, I hope you are ok. I wonder if you can help me please. I want to code a G12 steering rack 730ld 2016. I'm looking for Esys ... an Esys launcher ... and the PSdZdata. Please can I ask where I can get these from? I'm in UK. Many thanks
hello , you need to search and find someone in your area that is selling and installing diagnosis equipment's ...
@@MOvidiu OK thank you my bro
Can you facelift a 2013 740 li
Hello, your f02 is already facelift . f01/f02 from 2012 is facelift
Do you have a parts list
Hello! you need to do your own part list after your car equipment / options M pack or non-M, shadow line or chrome, night vision ....and so on
Is this possible to do on 2014 740 ?
You're F01/02 being made in 2014 is already facelift ...
Does anyone in Europe do similar work?
Cat a costat totul?
Hi bro, how much
Cumva SRN Garage?:)
Salut pot sa vin sa il faci si pe al meu asa
how much does the facelift cost?
Hello, for price you need to ask your local dealer/service/shop , depends on the level of equipment of the car, if the parts are new or second hand etc ..
Are these all original parts you used?
Do you think you are able to find aftermarket parts for this car ?
@@MOvidiu everything is possible in kina and thayland😅😅
Salut cât costa cu totul ? Vreau sa fac și eu update la g11 , mulțumesc anticipat
Salut! Pentru informatii legate de costuri va trebui sa apelezi la un service specializat BMW din zona ta, preturile pot diferi extrem de mult, in functie de echiparea masini, cate piese sunt noi sau secondhand , pretul manoperei si asa mai departe!
Salut îți urmăresc videoclipurile și ai tot respectul pentru ceea ce faci ! De curând am montat o trapa și nu știu la cine sa apelez pentu instalația electrică . Crezi ca mă poți ajuta ?!
Salut, trebuie sa cauti pe cineva priceput in zona ta , dar nu prea inteleg ai montat o trapa pe o masina care nu avea ?
@@MOvidiu Da , am decapsat plafonul și am pus altul . Din ce zona ești tu , poate îmi fac drum ?! 😃
Din pacate eu nu te pot ajuta , dar poti lua de pe o masina cu trapa instalatia urmaresti fir cu fir si o pui pe masina ta , la urma codat si esti good to go !
Salut , de unde ai luat conversia ? Și cât a costat ? Mulțumesc
Salut, nu exista " converise" pentru o modificare de genul va trebui sa procuri piesele individual , in functie de echiparea masini.
@@MOvidiu pai și tu de unde le-ai procurat ?
How can upgrade my car from Thailand
First you need to find someone in your area that is able to do this . but depending on the prices of parts and labor, some time is better to sell the car and buy a newer one !
@@MOvidiu thank you for your kind msg. Appreciated your work on CZcams.
The adverts are becoming ridiculous
Salut , un pret te rog?
I think i’ve found the Arab Cousin !
All this must cost the price of a new 3series
A new one, noo! but a couple of years old yes :)
Super. De ce nu in română?
Salut, pai in primul rand canalul e dedicat tuturor , Si hai sa iti dau un exercitiu de imaginatie daca spre exemplu vrei sa vezi cum se desface un obiect si gasesti un clip explicativ si e in limba chineza si altu nu mai e postat ce zici ? , cu engleza de balta cum zic "romani" totusi toti inteleg mesajul ....
Salut Ovidiu!
Îmi poți lasă un nr de contract te rog frumos ?
Sal ovidiu imi poti lasa un nr de contact te rog?
Why would anyone do that? I'd like to have a pre facelift to not have the ugly front of the facelift..
bruh imagine making a good looking car look like trash
