_"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.
it's my 7th year owning a 7 Serie e38. Only e65 , am i interested to own, because of the controversi of that model :)
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!
nitroitis better than another e38 goin to da scrapper! These are classy fucking cars!
Got mine with m pars for $360!
I got mine for $20
But nah 600 Had to fix a couple sensors and it’s daily driven for over 100 miles a day
@@ericwelch361 damn man
To me, the best 7 Series ever!!!
Same here
Yes, correct - I was so close in getting one - twice in the exact colors (inter/ext) and condition ---- Waaahhhh, it haunts me till this day 4 years later.
Agree!
This is what I want to see. A man so passionate about his vehicle and the story behind it. Well done 👌👌👌
As a fellow E38 owner, I look at that thing like my dream car. What an absolute machine.
BMW e38 is so amazing I own 7 e38s in diffrent trims and options!
Elver Jimenez you are doing the right thing, i just lost mine 😭😭😭
Wow👍🏽
Saw a white E38 today. Jawdropping. Easily the best looking 7er ever.
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.
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
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
This guy is on point what a bad ass car you can't get any better
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.
This will forever be a great homage to the car and owner. A great watch, props to the film crew as well. Thank you for sharing ❤
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 had a e39 540iT and now getting into an e38 740iL. So stoked to be back on the Kool aid again
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.
"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 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
Hopefully I will get a E38 too. This man is a legend.
Absolutely beautiful. That's how you treat a great car!
I love them 740i BMW s 👍🏼
I had one of those. Still one of my favourite cars, if not the best one
One of the coolest car ever made !!
so glad I own one these cars are gorgeous
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.
Love your use of water in your photography; along with the e38!

Beautiful BMW with the check engine light on 3:59
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
Martin Phillips Thanks mate 😊
Inspired, sublime. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome car. Rekindles my love for the E38. Thanks for the video.
Nice car, but it's a shame that 45 e38's died to provide parts for one vehicle.
CadyCTSlover Agreed :/
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,
Most beautiful 7. The Derrik car.👍
Thanks Dmitry for awesome interview
هذا سيار جميل جدا فيها ديكورات جميل احسن من جديد
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.

What is your link so we can check out your e38?
Thank you!😎🇺🇸
Alpina,"The Sunrise Rims" 😍😍
I love my 99 Short Sport but this is on a whole different level.
What a sweet car! The inside is insanely nice!
Still beautiful after all these years
Very stylish car
Truly beautiful car and great video quality as well. Well done mate.

The Alpina wheels really make the car
It is BADASS Brother...!!!!!
Very tastefully build 👍🏻
Dude! Detailing this car monitor ;D
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 !
Perfect
i live the e38 740i i need one and keep it as clean as possible !!❤️
Beautiful car.
Awesome car mate, a dream of mine! It all started with Boomer for me too
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.
E65 much better than e38,l have both)
You changed out the fender , side skirts, and headlights with the trim on the bottom? Im going to try to do the same with my 97
Axperes? 👍Nice Job! Hot sunday car!
My second but last Dream Car
A perfected perfection...
I have one of these, knew it'd go classic. 735i, numberplate is BMW 735Y. M-Pars soon!
I got this car my country Russia🥰 This car German legend.
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 😉
You make fixing yourself a car as easy as fixing yourself a meal..no limits anything is indeed possible
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..
How? Please explain. I passed up 98 740i and have regretted everyday. My 88 635csi is really nice(needs work) but I need E38 imola red alpina wheels in my life.
Vince Lee i lost it in a crash
Before i bought it, i didnt think i could get a car like that..
Find another one. They are out there still.
C Bell they are very rare in germany with a mt
Right now there is one with 350 and one with 380 thousand kilometers and i did visit them, pure trash.. unbelievable
krezo I am sorry to hear that they are scarce in Germany. But the manual transmission is not stock, therefore extremely rare. Try the other European countries and definitely consider an automatic. You will find the right one for you.
My advice is to buy the nicest, low-mileage 2001 you can find. (I own two 2001s, a 740i Sport and a 740iL.). Be a little patient and wait for the right one, but search online regularly.
I got the 728i E38 and I love it I wish if I afford to make as clean as urs
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
Shut up man.
It's my dream car!!
I totally loved mine.....till it caught fire lol still might get another one in the future though
This one 7 reihe is my N¤1 !😁👍
Stunna!!
Only LOVE can replace BMW E38 😏
3:57 fully functional engine light 😂❤️
Is that a check engine light on at 10:51 ? Or are you driving with fog lights on or something?
Самая крутая бэха,не когда не променяю ее))))))
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!!
Rear view mirror compass, American spec only
Seems to me it's as someone said about war: "it only requires three things: money, more money, and yet more money."
Im love it as well! How big ar rims? Its 18'?
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?
My god this car is the definition of MINT. I want to buy it.
My pops had an e38 l7
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)?
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?
БМВ 😍😍😍🤤🤤🤤
Nice cars but they are hard to drive around London emissions ect ect ect
Where did you get the wheels from ?
Jesus, why the super serious tone? One would think this is a documentary on Rwandan genocide or something.
I prefer the pre face lift model but that’s a great looking car :)
There’s so much work ! Respect
