    From the BMW sitting at Randy's after the rescue from the auction yard to you getting it and turning it back into the car it used to be this has been a most enjoyable video series as always. The new owner will drive it with pride I'm sure and congratulate themselves with the sharp bit of trading they did to get it. Wonderful video and thank you for sharing it with us.

    MWM my friend,
    The Bronze Beemer may be your greatest rebuild to date! Think about this: it was such a wretched dog that Randy GAVE it away.
    Now she looks great and seems to run and drive great.
    Nice work!
    You mentioned she still had a vacuum leak when she was cold that went away when she warmed up. The warming up part is a clue.
    Peace,
    DrRick

    Ok, you choose the factor calorie smart meals, but how effective are they when you eat two at once, but way better than Lola's duck food choice 😁😁. The 740 comes a long way. You should do a all in once video including Randy's footage. Great job.

    I have the 1997 540 - no "i" designation in'97 and no M5 in 1997 either. The company considered this 300/300 beast more than sufficient and therefore they were top dawg. Our V8's are NOT the "tu" spec of the facelift era and has no vanos. They have as much power and torque, the vanos is for mileage based on the torque being available lower in the rev band and not a V-tech engineering like in a Honda. These M62's are actually more desirable with the fat daddy intake manifold tubes!!! So, the fact that these e38's were a Bond car, and the last pre-Bangle butt design - it's considered to be peak BMW and timeless compared to the following designs Mike. You gotta KEEP Ol' Goldie and watch it's value rise and rise up!

    Hi Mike
    I was wondering if you run premium unleaded in those German cars I know they run on premium my sister's Mercedes only takes premium unleaded and I was curious are you one of those that puts premium or you one of those that puts the cheap? I sure enjoy the videos a lot I love watching Lola and your little ducks are so cute.
