I bought an old BMW 7 Series 728i similar to (but nowhere near as nice as) the one Tupac was shot dead in years ago.

This car is now sold. MASSIVE video dropping on Sunday. You’s lot are going to be gutted ☹️

[@Adam-M1]

Hope the e46 touring is still coming!

[@Resnor]

lol someone looked at that rear bumper and bought it! fair play my dude. easiest 2k you've ever made.

[@unknownwatcher43]

I seen old 7 series like this one on 02 plate, so 02 plate 2002 is last of its kind.

[@jenX100]

Dammit I wanted it, anyone wanna swap for my e90 330i 6spd ?

[@glengrimsdale4]

Sold!!! Pffffff 🫤 But on the positive side, more videos 🤗👍🏼

[@Adam-M1]

Without a doubt my favourite 7 series. Such a gangsta looking car! Timeless shape. Those rear exhaust cut outs do look awful though.

[@zseedat96]

Not bad for an old banger better than most modern cars

[@Dan_druft]

I've got one of these 2.8i Sport as a daily driver and it's my affordable dream car. I get people asking me about it all the time. School kids call it a gangster car and it makes me feel good driving it because there are hardly any still on the road. Mine even has a working phone from the year 2000. I paid £3000 2 years go with 117,000 miles and I absolutely love it. Oh and those wheels are standard on the Sport and are called M Parallel style 37s that are still worth £1500 in good condition.

[@callumelliott9990]

no matter what the condition they won't sell for 1500 haha, there's some on eBay atm for 90 without tyres

[@Dan_druft]

@@callumelliott9990 They will be fake ones

[@bigt8699]

This is actually a sick looking car for the age, great video Calvin

[@amardaman3371]

I had 3 of these. All 728i Sport models on 2001 Y reg. Regret selling them and I got them all super cheap in mint condition from BCA auctions when I was a car trader back in 2015. Awesome cars... Built solid and smooth drives. Always turned heads when I drove that car.

[@jamessheehy4895]

Oh dear those exhausts!

Less chance of chavving with an S-class. All down to the quality of the owners

[@joshuathompson5673]

Such a cool car. My grandad had one of the 740i back in the day.Lazy V8 but a cool car.

[@shanewaller2864]

I had a 1996 728i se 7 series back in 2004 ,what a fantastic car absolutely loved it .I even entered it in a top speed event on.the airfield at Woodbridge Suffolk. And it recorded a terminal speed of 152 mph . Also don't forget Jason statham drove a 7 series in the 1st transporter movie 🇩🇪

[@kelly00000111111]

i had a '99 e38 740 'shorty' (740i, not an iL) and loved it. paid $5k for it in 2012 and owned it for a couple of years. was a mid-level spec but so many things about the car were incredibly polished and the thing was built like a tank. always thought bmw missed out by not making an acual M version of the 7 series back then.

[@Trollhater-mb8ne]

Best era of BMW , 3,5,7 series were so good looking 👌🏻

[@Resnor]

The wind deflector was just trying to find the right home for the rest of the car.

[@CalvinsCarDiary]

😂😂

[@thedarkgreenvanman]

I have one of these, 740iL. One of the best cars ever made.

[@beautgrainger147]

They still look good and are a nice car to drive. The first day i turned up at work in mine, a cleaner asked if it was a M3.. the E36 (and oresumably the modern M3) was a great car but the E38 looks more badass, even with some of the 16" style wheels

[@michaelporter8485]

Reminds me of the first transporter film 😂

[@rezaq1]

I’ve had 5 of these now. An individual Mora Metallic 728i Sport, an Oxford Green 728i Sport, a Titan Silver 740i Sport, a Biarritz Blue 750i LWB, and a Titan Silver 740i AC Schnitzer S7. I only sold the S7 in October last year after 7 years. I spent £40,000 in maintenance over 7 years and 60,000 miles. I am obsessive and wanted the car mechanically perfect. The body had started to rust so I got rid and I wasn’t putting another £6000 into a paint job. No chance. Do I miss it? Yes. Nothing quite like the M62 V8, especially when serviced every 3000 miles without fail (yes, I am obsessive). Would I have another? No chance. Financial suicide. Killed me off for sure.

[@0asis2007]

But is it financial suicide for someone who would maintain it without the OCD element? 😂 I have a late 728i Sport which I’m spending a fair bit on but, a lot of that is through choice not necessity. It seems to be fairly reasonable in terms of repair costs if you’re sensible about buying parts and using the right specialists for repairs etc 👍🏼

[@rezaq1]

@@0asis2007 indeed. I took it too too far…my actually preferred e38 would actually be a 728i Sport as the M62 stripped me

[@shaneunknowndoesyoutube3869]

The 1995 BMW 735i (E38) was Frank Martin's first car in The Transporter. The vehicle served as Frank's primary mode of transportation. Frank first uses the car when he drives some bank robbers away from the police in a high speed chase. i love these cars.

[@mrreviews8507]

Get an E39 on the channel mate.

[@SS-sw9jl]

Get an 840d if you're looking for a luxury diesel. Just got myself an 840i coupe and it's unreal, love the G-Series cabin.

[@RazXai]

e38 is such a nice car so happy i managed to find one

[@thedetailingdoctor5746]

It’s slow to respond because it’s a cable throttle attached to a lazy tourqe converter setup. If you flash the alpina software to the box the tourqe converter will lock up quicker you’ll get slightly quicker shifts and will upchange at 6500rpm instead of 6k when foot flat down

[@beautgrainger147]

The facelift was part cable and part electric throttle control.. the purely cable throttle was on the pre-facelift

[@mattybutler2455]

Well done for going back for the wind deflector, what a good guy, as always sick car and wicked video calv, thanks.

[@nickhigginsonmusic]

I remember when my college headmaster got one new back in 96 or 97. He had the tv screen in the dash. And a big mobile phone with a wire. Like it was from the future back then!!

[@garytheobald9538]

Wheels were standard on sport trim, they’re called m parallel

[@Shyted]

Even taking the Meriva over the CRV must be a red flag.

[@Retrobeemer]

E23 is my fave 7 and whoever butchered the exhaust and rear bumper should be force fed all those eBay M badges.

[@shaneomac-9069]

I've just brough the exact same crv and they're such a versatile car, rear seats move forward, recline, fold up, fold over again and can be removed completely in seconds, such a cool car for their reliability too and for the price they're great, I've also got a stinger gts we use as a daily but just lately I'm loving the comfort of the crv!

[@beckygair2272]

Great video once again Calvin

[@geebee6737]

To be fair the Beemer's a banger and the guy wanting a family car chose well with the Meriva and it's suicide doors. I personally wouldn't consider a Vauxhall but a family man working to a budget it's a no brainer. 7 series Beemer's are for your Arthur Daley's and their cigars not your hard working nurse or postman 🤣 Great vlog mate....appreciated 👍

[@cabdriver361]

My E39 530d 1999 V reg had factory fitted tv and sat nav so they were out a pretty long time ago.

Love them wheels, I think they are called M parallel's or something like that.

[@jeremywentworth1833]

I've just watched the video regarding Binca closing and due to circumstances most of the cars will have to go to Auction just due to storage etc, so unless you have a printer straight away for this car Calvin isn't it just another that's may be going to Auctions.When you up loaded the video about business closing temporarily until you sourced somewhere ya liked. Shame you didn't have a January sale might have been better than sending alot of cars to the sales.

Always enjoy the videos on your 😂keep up the good work 👍👍👍

Come on Calvin, rear electric windows were standard on a base model Passat in 2001 never mind a 7 series. I love these things and I'm seriously considering a 750i of similar age but the windows....nah bro.

[@DB-dx8xu]

gotta ask does the engine warm idle for a long period of time before driving off and mechanical engineers put out not good in not fluids/fuel flow and takes oil longer to warm up as oil flows from the beginning of start and can cause slight engine wear and to carry out a gentle drive in the warm up process until temps are up before driving it hard had to ask

[@hassankhan384]

This is great car, best looking car I prefer this then any of the new bmws, this was Last best 7 series after this they went down with desgins and overall quality this was when e46 and e39 where rocking the market, these are not just bangers these are proepr drivers car, a machine that has so much spec and also luxury at cheap price.
