@@NicholasHubbard Living in Germany I can assure you that it is actually an unwritten rule that if there is an opportunity to complain you must complain. The good news is that most of the time Germans are not actually annoyed at you, they actually feel happy because the have found a reason to complain. It's kind of serves the same societal function as small talk in the anglosphere. 🤷🏻‍♂️🙂

What a beauty. Its a shame BMW has lost the timeless, elegant design in their newer models. These cars had a certain austerity that characterized BMWs of that era.

I like this car and the E38 (the generation after this car). Following the E38, the 7 series fell off my admiration list.

[@Coslin]

@@houseofno The last great design from BMW was the E38. Anything post that is okay at best, terrible at the worst. My personal favorite is the 93-95 Euro E34 M5. We didn't the get the late 93's, 94 or 95's here. And too bad, too. What a machine.

gotta disagree, new 5series LCI, 2series (even M2), 6 series and 7 series (pre-facelift) for me are as beautiful as they can get, they are wayy better than other cars from other automakers, most of new BMW cars look amazing except new 3 and 4 series

I drive a tow truck part time and rescued a neglected 1999 740iL last night in St Louis, Missouri USA. She's rough but still a pretty sweet ride. Always wanted one for the longest time, the past 20 years so I made an offer for it on the spot and saved it from the junkyard. She's in the garage, waiting for warmer days to start working and for me to start ordering parts. Long and lean, mean machine! ...those damn kidney panels...

This video was the only Christmas present I needed this year, thank you Sreten! Edit: Just a tip, when you're pushing a car don't push the bodywork - push/rotate a tyre with your hands. Much easier, much more torque applied. Car will move easier!

It's good to see cars like this reasurected and given a second chance, after just being neglected and left for dead. This era of BMW are such stylish, handsome cars, and still look good today. When you think this was once a very expensive, luxury vehicle, which few people could afford, which ends up being left in a garage, because of running issues. It's amazing how much they just lose their value, as unless you can do the work yourself, they often reach a stage of being beyond economical repair, and scare people off. Compared to the modern equivalent though, they're actually pretty simple to work on. It's certainly one of the cheapest ways of getting behind a V12 engine too
