7:18 The guy behind almost crashed!
they are in luxorious e38 with thick glasses so they didnt notice at all :D:D
Intended and controlled drift I guess
Damn, it was Brian:))
@@klauserwin9860no, the car hit the dirt.
You don't do a controlled drift into dirt.
@@klauserwin9860 controlled drift into the grass bank? Btw. you're not even allowed - drifting is forbidden on the Nordschleife.
E38 still the best looking 7 Series!
Indeed !
E32;-)
@@celltech2675 eh, it's just an enlarged E39. The facelift E66 is the best 7er for me.
I own a G11 7 and can’t agree more. E38 was amazing.
The most bland looking sure. E32 and E23 were much better looking cars.
VERY impressed by the car. Seriously.
Having a chat like at home in the comfy couch, while being full load at the Nordschleife is absolutely incredible to me. Even into the Carousel !!!
Plus not even a second I saw the car struggling to stay tight to the track…
Good job BMW, hands down. 👍
I do miss my old gold e38 740iL. Full Bilstein suspension, H&R springs, limited slip diff out of an e39, M parallel wheels, continental DW tires, and brake upgrades with stainless lines. Was a highway mile eating monster. You could really feel the weight if you pushed in hard in a corner, but she would do it if requested.
Had basically the same car, black with BBS wheels e32 740il full bilstein and H&R springs with limited slip diff from 750il. It drove fantastic the car felt much smaller and nimbler like a 3 series rather than a huge limo. Great sound and power from 4.0 V8 too. Honestly the best car I've ever owned received much praise from fellow motorheads still regret selling it to this very day.
Did u get rid due to repairs?
9:39 most comfortable carousel pass ever
what carousel? didnt feel anything XD
Yooo I've been hoping for an E38! Would've liked to see the V12 rather, but awesome car regardless.
Also Misha your point about judging the car for its intended usage is refreshing to hear. Performance is obviously fun, but not everything needs to be a track machine.
I dm'd misha in the spring about doing a lap in my 750i. Then I got my cats stolen, the rear diff exploded, the right front shock spat its guts out, the self levelling system was broken by the yearly inspection guy....so a trip to Germany didn't happen. Maybe next year :D
@@forzer45yes pls
Of course. Not everything is about performance. Diff purposes for diff reasons. Would love to drive that e38 for a little bit of ice cream in the sun, with my favorite music.. enjoying the atmosphere.
@@mgcharoudin will try for sure! The bimmer is going to eat around 5k€ during the winter just to make it roadworthy so I hope for a good long roadtrip in central europe. :)
In reality, the 750i is barely faster than the 740i though. A 735i manual would be entertaining though for sure!
Was lucky enough to talk my dad into a 2001 740iL sport [pack] in 2009 to replace his outgoing e90 330i. It was such a nice car, perfect blend of sporty, powerful, and very comfortable. But yeah, despite it being a low-mileage example (I think it had only 60 or 70k miles on it), the repair bills were sadly in-line with its $100k+ price tag. Still, if I had a huge amount of money lying around, I'd be happy to get another one and get it fully rebuilt mechanically and aesthetically, it's such a refined and good-looking car...
did you see the guy behind in the nissan at 7:20 just having a massive moment going full sideways
I saw the end of it in the corner of my eye and had to go back to see what happened, instantly jumped into the comments to see if anyone else noticed lol
that was indeed a massive moment lol
Looks intentional, but pretty bad drift.
I was focusing on the main cam and heard some proper tire shredding going on :D Had to rewind to figure it out :D
I love this 728i Sport. Looking fabulous. Kudos to a great owner to who brought it to the Ring! Enjoyed this video!
I test drove a E38 728i many years ago and fell in love with the way it drove and handled. It was lovely, made an offer but it fell through. Ended up buying a 750 L7 years later but that wasn't as fun to drive as the 728i i tested (Because its a stretch limo). I also own a E46 M3 and I think this era of Bmw is peak (including the E39s). In terms of comfort, steering and handling, they were really great fun. I wasn't expecting to see a E38 on this channel tbh. But I appreciate this video alot! Now I hope someone brings a W140 S class to you to try. 🤣
Definitly not made for Ring laps, but also definitly still the most beautiful 7 Series ever.
E46 / E38 / E39 were really the best BM produced 🥰
Great to see someone else who watches the videos, takes on board what you say about repairing the vehicles and making sure they are up to scratch
wow, I never thought a 6cyl 7 series would be able to perform on the Nurburgring. That was awesome.
This guy has a great sense of humor.
Nice car ❣️
Maybe as 735, or 740... but E38 is one of the best 7 series in my opinion 👌🏼
And green metallic with cream leather, always looking beautiful 😅
And you have so much time to talk during the lap...no stress 😜
I dream with the day that you will race around Nordschleife on a Lexus LFA, it's my favourite car so far!
Love your vídeos man!💪🏻
finally misha and conan o'brien collab
Enjoyed that, thanks guys👍 My first lap there was on a damp track in my old E32 735i and that was an eye opener to what the place is about. Was totally out of my depth😂 The car did well though
I also drive a 728i. Visited the Nürburgring once with it but just as a spectator. Great to see a video of a similar car driven on the nordschleife😍
But it's not the same engine as in the E36, Facelifts and some the last months of the prefacelift got the M52B28TU which was introduced in the E46 3 Series and never available in an E36. It was improved with the in terms of low end torque with the double Vanos, but it's is the worse engine than the Pre-TU M52, because the seals are quite bad, which is why their idle is quite unstable after a cold start in the winter. I rebuilt my Vanos after my first winter, since I had that Problem.
I wasnt expecting this, my dad sold our estoril blue 740 last year which still makes me sad, great video anyways!
I LOVE IT!!! The original Transporter! The best looking 7er of all time!!! Some day when I buy one, I hope that Misha is still around The Ring to send the mighty V8 ;]
I don't know if I heard the owner right, but there are no M52B28TUs in E36.
The BMW 740i M sport, specifically the short wheelbase 740i M sport was pretty much a M7 n the only M7 ever, it had alot M5 suspensions parts. Alot of work actually went into it to make it sporty, from sway bars, coilovers, diff, shorter gearing, quicker steering, similar engine to M5. Still the best looking 7 series ever, n still one of the best looking 4 doors of all time.
I knew the sporty shorty is a special car, but I didn't realize how much went into it. I thought it was just the community that made a big deal about it.
So much love for the E38. Mine was my first V8 car, and I loved that car. But man, did it cost a fortune to run once the warranty was up!
Another great review and lap you were just relaxed and in zone with that car I’ve never seen you take that much kerb before. I’m surprised how well it went too.
One of the most comfortable laps i've seen you do in a while. I'm sure theres quite a bit of body-roll but God damn is it comfortable in straight lines.
Nürburgring Business Class 👌🏼
I did not expect to watch a video by Misha and see myself driving in front of him for basically quarter of the video. Cheers!
And as soon as he sees the absolute state in which your car is in, he is immediately frightened... ;-)
The 350z behind you suddenly drifting 😂😂
literally final thoughts when the lap started
😂
7:18 the 350z driver in the rear view mirror had definitly a code brown there :D
I need to buy one of these as a daily. Always loved everything about it.
That was the most relaxing lap ever.
I always liked that generation it just looks so good.
Amazing videos Misha. Keep it up! Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
Misha, buy a 5-series Touring if you want a dog wagon. Or maybe a Merc E-class wagon (bigger boot).
E38 is my favourite 7 and I think this colour combination is the most beautiful. It's still a great car for long journeys, a relaxing and peaceful experience.
What a treat!! My previous (and first) car was an oxford green 740iL!
Mint, absolutely love it… love the modesty of the owner too, what a dude 🫶👊💥
Drove an old BMW once. I was very impressed with the handling 👌, they hold up to todays standards.
The m52tu in this is technically an m54 the m52 in e36s is the single vanos
awesome vibes, lovely car
damn i remeber this car from 007 movies and that gives me the extra cool factor
Movie*
@@rkan2 yep i knew after i writed that someone will tell that
*film :)@@rkan2
I owned few E38 - 735i and 740i and I must say - if they made touring version I would never chose different car!
They are beatiful, perfect inside, super comfy and with contour seats they are lovely to drive. I actually used them to haul trail with cars - really good cars.
Shame they have some steel parts that make them unecessary heavy (subframe, arms or even leaking with age fuel tank) but other than that those cars are absolute marvel of engineering. 728i is not enough to pull this chassis though..
Definitely best looking 7 series - period!
Had a 728i and I think it would be actually enough for the car with the manual box or modern AT. But not with the 5speed slushbox with looong gearing. It only really locked the converter at highway speeds which funnily enough resulted in sudden drop of fuel consumption. I loved that car anyway. Not sporty but still capable in the corners due to perfect weight distributrion. But honestly I don't think that the engine of this particular car is in 100% shape. It seems to drive like mine did before I sorted the VANOS seals and gave it new spark plugs.
Great Lap! Was this last Friday, or last Sunday?
Nice, Misha I'm looking forward to your lap video with Lukaz's E92 335i
sweet sound!
Beautiful car. Love the Color and the wheels. Such a classic
This engine never came in E36 but rather the early E46 as it is the M52tu which is double vanos. The prefacelift 728 had the single vanos E36 engine.
My Tacoma TRD 4X4 off-road has Bilstein suspension I wonder how it would do with Misha behind the wheel lol... off-road tires n' all & a stock 🛻💨
I’m coming back with my E39 540 touring :)
the old grandpa still got life in him
Exactly - Misha's doing well for an old man!
Doesn't the gear lever have a button when pushed the transmission won't shift until the button is released ?
Ik had deze ronde verwacht met een chauffeur achter het stuur en jullie op de achterbank.
Another day of amazing content🫡
I had the same M52B28 engine in a '99 manual E39 528i.
This was the video I was waiting for
Had a 728i exactly like that in Oxford Grün Metallic and tan interior. Despite what you might think, it was a great car. Would do 7L/100km if driven like an undertaker, but also 240+ kph.
After seeing this micha drive this so chilled i thought an s class (maybe coupe) would fit him
My Favourite was the old version of that one the 735i straight 6 engine manual
This E38 has just the perfect setup, except from the steering wheel on the wrong side. 🤭
I would not recommend Jay to get a 740i even tough i love the 4,0l V8, you will pay so much more and in the end the fun and power might just not be that much of an upgrade.
the most chill lab
Definitely the most handsome car on the track that day! I drove one of these for a day many years back, it was slower than my Cavalier V6 and the fuel mileage was terrible!!!!!!!! But it just looks soooo good!
30/40mpg is terrible?
@@pokeboi5438 20-25 at best, 15 when I was driving it.
I remember my first Nordschleife Lap with your e39 528 it was legendary because on the first drive a friend of mine just puke out of the Window. We just had a photoshoot with😂 Boosted Boris. 😂
Im here nearly since Day One.
Great episode! :)
The handling of the 728 (guessing mines a non-sport) is actually quite surprising for such a car.. not nippy, but the dry/wet lateral grip is quite decent for such a heavy car.
I'm also not sure what engine was in the 190 but ive also got a 190 2.5D and it wouldn't really be a contest in any way as non-sport standard.
The speedo cam couldn't handle the extreme G-forces in the beginning.
The car shaked it off
It was embarrassed 😅
I daily a 2001 740il and it is a pretty nice car and I’ve had only a few problems
I find it quite interesting in car video's, that mamy people are suprised by sat na etc. In old luxury cars from that era.
Meanwhile im my V70 beater from 2000 there is wired phone, handsfree phone with speaker in headrest, screen which goes up automaticaly from dashboard with analog TV and satnav.
Road yachting at its best! 🛥️⚓️ **foghorn sounds** 🌊
Cool to see a tank on the track 😀
Misha could you please drive an e28 bmw 5 series that would be very nice love your content keep the quality up 🙌🏻
the way that transmission up shifted at wide open throttle like it was Willie Nelson after smoking 37 joints...
As an owner of a 728I I can confirm.. these cars are fantastic to daily (I am doing this currently). I have been fortunate to have picked up a non abused one and she is perfect. Yes lacks power but I have other toys for playing. I have absolutely no doubt that my car would do a 1000+ mile journey doing silly speed without skipping a beat, all whilst doing it in total comfort.
Great job
I think Misha also missed the fact that the car cost £4500. It is super comfy. Super Spacious. Really Good Looking. Really reliable. Cheap to run and insure. Really luxurious. Find me a modern car with all those attributes for £4500. You cant. As far as I am concerned I love cars like these because I look at all these people going out and spending 40-50-60k on a BMW 3 Series and I am like BUT WHY? It may be faster and a little more "modern" but it doesn't have the charm and will be ruinously expensive to run.
Use your money more wisely than spending £20,30,40K+ on a new car.
Although on the flip side i suppose those are the people that make it possible to buy these sort of cars.
I had a 728i. Paid £500. Was in fantastic condition. Self serviced it. Only "modern" thing these sort of cars are missing is the infotainment and... for £300-£500 you can buy an aftermarket head unit that looks like it comes from factory but is full touchscreen with bluetooth, carplay etc.
Well no, the point in buying a newer version is the fact it will be cheaper to run.
Old but Gold
Heading for a round of golf ⛳
Best looking bimmer
One of my friends owns an e38 740i manual. Best bmw ever made
I think that maybe one day you might make a compilation video of all the cruisers you have driven on Green Hell, so far it feels like every cruiser or gt car you have drove, is owned by a humble dude, and their cars have cool history, it is relaxing to watch these videos, I think that what can one wish for more than the last lap being a nice cruise in a comfy car that does not crash, overheat and also you have a nice conversation, I think that can be considered a root in the car guy community.
And it still has the factory cassette player - Respect!
I'm impressed, this thing is fast
Most beautiful car ever made!
You should drive w140 s-class on nürburgring
Why dont you use GPS speed instead of the speed cam
7:17 a 350z behind got a lil sketchy there :D
Stop copying the comments, you guys are annoying
what a beauty
It would be interesting to see you driving a W201 swapped with a diesel OM605 if youll ever come across one :)
The mpg is the most interesting gauge to watch on this car lol
Gorgeous car. And perfect spec as well (apart from the engine - ideally).
it's not the 328i e36 engine it's a m54 or m52tu double vanos that you have!
please try e39 530d remap :P
when an overcrest right hander at 140kph feels like looking for a parking spot at the local market 😂😂😂
I have 728i at home. It can do 240kmh in limiter on 4th gear :D
What a car, i want this as a 750i ❤
i had once the E38 730i with V8 Engine - this beauty was thirsty
seriously impressive for a land yacht from the 90s
The M52B28 is a solid engine , good choice, not fast in this car.
1:55 notice the black headliner.
Beautiful car. And would still buy one if i can get my hands on one
i cant be the only one that saw an nissan 350z or 370z drift in the back at 7:18 🤣
Is that an Essex version of Johnny Bravo??!!! Thank you very much 😮
