Regarding the 0-60 test: I realized a couple things after filming this episode.The road I was testing on was slightly uphill, and the aftermarket wheel/tire combo skewed the MPH readings. Should've used GPS instead. In all likelihood the car is much faster than this video indicates. 😀

My parents had a 1998 740iL. It was such a great car to go on long road trips. However, it would always have weird random gremlins and my parents let it sit and rarely drove it l in the past 10 yrs. they finally sold it to a whole seller for $800 w less than 100k mi. I still think it’s one of the best looking cars.

I purchased one of these for $300. The owner thought that the heater core had gone bad since it started to over heat. It turned out that we just needed to bleed out the air out of the cooling system since he had replaced the expansion tank. Great car.

I've bought an e38 just two weeks ago and fell in love with it. It's a luxury landyacht for pennies, and yet even though it lost 97% of its original value it still feels and looks like a premium car, a car for someone important. Sometimes I even have a feeling like I shouldn't be driving such a premium car... and that is so cool about it!

Glad you got an E38. I own one myself but mine is a 2001 740i with the sport package. This means the I Sport has steptronic, 3.15 differential, higher stall speed torque converter (a lot quicker off the line), different gearing, lower front stance, stiffer suspension, Sport seats and....10-15 percent lower fuel economy. You would of felt the difference on the 0-60 take off. Bought mine about 4 months ago with 103k on the odo for 35 hundred. I guess we got lucky getting our hands on the best looking 7 series out there. Enjoy your ride!

You should try the 740i (short wheelbase) sports package version if you haven’t already. It feels so much smaller, it handles way less boat-like, and the 0-60 time on it is roughly anywhere from 5.6-6 seconds depending on what shape the car is in. I’ve owned my 740i for over 2 years now and it’s caused me little to no problems after sorting it all out and I only paid around $5k for it!

Many old cars I've bought have power outlets that don't work. Most of the time, it's just a blown fuse...Figure out where the fuse box is, check the diagram (that's usually on the box or the lid) to see which fuse is for the power outlet. Visually see if the fuse is busted, and if it is, pop in a new one (15 cents), or if you're lucky, there will be extra fuses attached somewhere in the fuse box area.

Put some bilstein shocks and struts on it and some better sway bars and that thing will hold the road quite well. Excellent canyon carver with a firmed up suspension. I loved mine. Of course, you'll be repairing it as much as you drive it. Under $3,000 is just the cost of admission if you want to keep it on the road. Can't wait until you have to replace the timing chain guides, drooping head liner, and other fun bits such as the entire cooling system, periodically. Transmissions may or may not operate correctly. Reverse may go out, uh probably will go out. Transmission fluid is like $15/quart. Self-leveling rear shocks are $500 ea. But if you're a committed E38 enthusiast, you'll overlook the wallet shrinking cost of parts and labor and let the driving experience heal the hole in your pockets. I now drive Lexus cars with Bilstein shocks and upgraded sway bars. Haven't looked back. Long live the G2 GS430. Faster than an E38 740I or IL. Infinitely more reassuring that you'll make it to your destination.

that "weird little storage compartment" is where the original first aid went. Mine still has it. And the "useless pop-out storage area" was a spot for trash for the rear passengers only available for the 740il because of the long door. I bought my single owner, 2000 BMW 740i m sport 5 days ago for $3,000. With steptronic transmission, and the dinan intake and tune that came with it, I don't think I'll ever drive a better car than an e38 sporty. 0-60 around 5 seconds

So... Regular Car Reviews and Donut Media AND Buzzfeed Unsolved true crime? Oh yeah, more please. Hey, this my fav video so far. OK, a couple of things. I like your production quality and the way you use go pros to take multiple shots at once and the angles you use. I like the reviewing of normal, forgotten cars. We all like supercars, but we cannot afford them. So keep it down to earth. I like the weird combo of reviewing a car and visiting a place with that car. Its unusual, but it works. Feels like cruising around with friends on a lazy Sunday afternoon, visiting places and doing stuff. On that note, may I suggest, you can end every video with "reviewing" a street food for a couple of seconds (ice cream, donuts, noodles etc). This will add to the lazy Sunday experience. I wish you blow up and when you do, never sell out. My first car was a 1985 Nissan Sunny , kinda looks like the Stanza Wagon, so if you could review that , that would be awesome. Handling and suspension was awesome, event with no hydraulic steering wheel, because it was so light. And the sweet light blue color was a trademark. This Sunny use to be a police car (!) here in Greece for the late 80s-early 90s, so you could visit a police station and compare it to the modern police cars or something. Cool, thats all, keep it up

I booght a 1998 740iL in the same white + black trim + tan interior for $2,000 a few months ago and absolutely love it! I've put about $1,500 into minor repairs (new bulbs, hood/trunk struts, new radiator, fluid changes, etc.) With another $2-$3,000 to get it "perfect" for my liking with repairing the headlinder, new head+tail light housings, window tint, all new front and rear suspension arms and bushings, getting a new amp and headunit and all new speakers being the major ones. (Currently driving around with a bluetooth speaker in the backseat and every bump i go over I hear a squeak you should only hear in the bedroom. 😂) I've drove roughly 3k miles since I bought it and have had no issues other than I need to replace my crankshaft position sensors (throws code P0340 during heavy acceleration.) Besides Mr. Regular's video on the 7 Series, I think this may tie with it for my favorite E38 video! Enjoy it 😁

I’ve owned a good mix of American, German and Japanese cars and none have been much better or worse than the other. American cars broke down the most, they were also the easiest/cheapest to fix. Japanese cars, they are OK, not some modern marvel that can go 300k miles with no oil or maintenance though that KZbin claims. Parts are more expensive than the american cars and they are relatively basic so there’s less to go wrong. German cars, about the same as Japanese cars, just nicer and they have more things to go wrong. A bit harder to work on as they have more covers and panels keeping things hidden. Aftermarket parts are no more expensive than a Japanese car and are quite plentiful. The caveat here is if you plan to rely on a dealer or some specialty shop to do all your repairs then yea it’ll probably cost more. Why wouldn’t it? We’ve put a lot more money into keeping my wife’s Honda going than my Mercedes, both are about the same year and both have about 150k miles on them, before that she had a Lexus Is350 and that car, while very fun, cost a damn fortune every time It went in for service. Also keep in mind in other countries they use Mercedes as taxis and use them like Americans use Crown Vic’s. They wouldn’t do that if they were constant money pits. Just do your due diligence when buying any car and know the common issues with the car.

The E38 will go down in history as BMW's greatest car made besides the M5 and the Mercedes 300D. Oh btw that wasn't a dougnut...that was a circle. Leave the doughnuts to RoadKill.

The L stands for long not for limousine. The normal e38 is 14 centimeters shorter than the Long version. However if you are really looking for the "Limo" version check out the L7 version of the E38. Hope i helped you ;))!

Dropping down to 4th puts it in 'Sport' mode, which still automatically shifts through all the gears. I did try shifting manually but Sport mode ended up being faster!

I’ve got a 740i sport for 4 years now and no electrical gremlins that I hear people mention. These cars although complex in their day, fast forward 20 years and these cars are pretty basic in comparison to modern 7s!

Yeah maybe a bit on the high side. But the BBS RSII wheels are worth nearly $1500 on their own. Seemed like a decent deal to me.

Hello Road / Ethan Tufts I don’t think it’s a bad deal, especially not a rust free California car with those wheels and it seemed to do just fine on the road trip. I’m sure you could have found one a bit cheaper but at what cost really. Sometimes it’s cheaper to pay a bit more and get one that’s in better condition than “the cheapest 7 series in the US”.
