Inside BMW Group Classic - Boss Face: the BMW 750iL.

[@M539Restorations]

The glorious E38! Thank you for sharing these.

[@Kyanvs]

are you going to retrofit rockets to your next e38?

[@ramadhanisme7]

Coooooming up

[@MPMaikGame]

So cool!

[@maximize3527]

I expected to see you here to be honest

[@gplusgplus2286]

Project Dubai FTW!!

[@karuzo4116]

BMWs back then were so perfectly designed. I wish they would take inspiration from that period for their new cars.

[@lexburen5932]

its not that they cant design like thy did. but modern regulations prohibits classic design. everything has to be safe wich compromises the design

[@BodyDestruction]

@@lexburen5932 there are solutions to that, like the Jaguar XK's pop-up bonnet to keep a low profile but also protect pedestrians from hitting the engine in the event of a crash. With an electric drivetrain, the engine will be so small and low, there's no point in making a blob shape when you could have a frooth that's sleek, low and easy to access, maybe even with a clamshell. A Tesla Model S has quite thin looking A- and C-pillars and a low bonnet line, while being one of the safest cars on the road. There will be some compromises, but in a heavy luxury car like this and with continuously improving material properties, they shouldn't be so noticeable. Build a 2 tonne EV using the production techniques of the i3, but with the new current-excited motors and better batteries, style it like a modern E38, and you might end up with an actual Tesla killer. Too bad it'll be too expensive so there's no business case for it... though the Porsche Taycan (arguably a modern 1967 4-door 911) is selling quite well, so that might change.

[@F1LmMclaren]

e39 was designed by a japanese dude

[@muharvi]

They actually did with the G70, only uglier smh

[@emjay1249]

@@lexburen5932 also countries like China and their taste influence a lot

[@ic1815]

Oh my. This was a special presentation. A normal 750iL, the Lagerfeld 750iL, *AND* the 007 750iL?! Amazing.

[@MihaiRUdeRO]

2:59 Ah, that famous German humour we've all heard so much about

[@firefighterps2]

🤔😳

[@divanosoba9658]

i cried from laughing over your comment ofcourse

[@imafreck123]

My uncle owns a successful restaurant, he bought an E38 when it was new and used to drove me and brother around every-time we visit his restaurant. And yes, he still has it till this day and turn it into a weekend car haha. Its the only reason why I’m into BMWs today haha

[@lucabrasi8790]

Du bist nicht aus aachen oder? Der Besitzer eines griechischen Restaurants hier fährt einen Mega geilen E 38 schon seit dem ich Kind war. Bin jetzt 35. grüsse

[@skippypamper]

this is one of the most timeless cars ever built from bmw… please give the designers a big fat „schmatzer“♥️

[@Dan_druft]

I totally agree as I get the thumbs up from everybody who see's my year 2000 E38 in Biarritz Blue Metallic.

[@Reuben007Ash]

It’s been 20 years and the E38 is still the best looking design 7 series with the E32 . It will never change

[@rocnnrollbus]

I have a 740iL I am restoring, literally in pieces in my garage. A labor of love and not that difficult to wrench on. E38 best 7-Series ever.

[@dukeallen432]

I owned one. For many years then all the plastics started to disintegrate including wiring. You’ll need new wheel wells and wiring harness minimum. Dump it before it’s too late.

[@metalgearfan2222]

Ahhh der Lagerfeld L7 und der Bond 7er. Schön zu sehen, dass die beiden Autos noch existieren und es immernoch gut haben.

[@BaruKz]

This is one of the best ever built, I had the pleasure of driving one is quite remarkable car. The Karl Lagerfeld and James Bond was a very nice touch especially when you showed how they have done in the movie.

[@ItsAaldrik]

It's always exciting seeing E38's in such perfect condition, specially ones as unique as these.

[@EpicNicknameFail]

Love the your humor, guys, is it safe to say that it is quite German? The Cleanex joke was as funny as it was unexpected!

[@evanray8413]

This is the third comment in a week that I can't like. Cuz it already has 69.

[@weezy88420]

Do you guys have a L7 too? Would be great to see more about one of them!

[@ronniewilson6597]

Why can’t Bmw design a 7 series as beautiful as the e38. What a car.

[@ENERGYCORP]

When it was launched way back in 1994 alot of motoring journalists at that time critized bmw for it looking to similar to e32. But after all this time it's design has really stood the test of time. Amazing car. Still have so much fond memories and respect for my former E38 728i. Till this day I cherish the time with it

[@aniki937]

Because good designers left BMW

[@lucabrasi8790]

Had a black 735il in 2010. It was always my dream car because I saw it as a kid in that bond movie. Unfortunately the transmission broke and there were a lot of other problems too. I had to sell it but I’m still in love with this 7 series

[@aarvin1]

I have always owned BMW coupes till now but when I see these 7 series, they still look incredible till now. Their design game was really next level at the time 👌👌

[@ilovelimpfries]

Still the best 7 ever made. so glad i have one in my driveway.

[@smithjohn2416]

Most gangster car ever designed. I love it, thinking about buying one eventually. This body is timeless.. what a great piece of automotive history.

[@brunosel1]

Bought one already?

[@King_Fadi]

The E38 750il is best BMW of all time. This video should have been 1 hr long

[@shahabahmed3]

So much better looking than the generations that followed. A true classic !

[@MambaMentality24]

As a BMW enthusiast and owner, this channel is so rewarding. Keep them coming 👍

[@TBendez]

What a collection! The Lagerfeld is so, so special. Side note, Bond didn't use a Nokia, he had a proprietary (and sadly fictional) Ericsson model JB988.

[@csanvi]

Ah, the beautiful E38! I believe, it was one of the most beautifully designed car of all time. Hope BMW brings back similar design again.

[@chrisg4rr377]

Seeing these old classic cars makes me wish BMW would do restomod cars. Fit modern things or engines but make them look old

[@tjfSIM]

It was Tomorrow Never Dies that made me love the E38! The luxury of a limo but the handling of a beast!

[@madhanaekanayake2187]

Well done guys. The BMW 750iL is indeed the big boss! Next you should do a video about the E32 750IL and the E38 L7.

[@einautofan6685]

*Ultimate and most beautiful 7 Series of all times!😍😎👍*

[@gtboard]

Hahah funny guys! Well done!

[@poplaurentiu4148]

I would love to spend some times in BMW vault to play with some of those timeless toys.. definitely cool !

[@Roflmfaoftw]

Style 32 wheels are still amazing and seriously one of the best if not the best original BMW wheels

[@andreasmi5120]

Super video, danke für den Einblick… und das Ende ist große Klasse😆

[@ruthun]

Love the rapport between you two, more than the cars. But I seriously wanted that Lagerfeld one back in the day.

[@Quicktrigger]

Thank you so much BMW Classic!!! It's always a pleasure 😊

[@shoman24v]

I have yet to own an E38... Man, they are beautiful cars. Thanks for the video!

[@eytankatz7635]

Great Episode ! Interesting, Fascinating, Amazing, Great humor andlast but not least, well presented. Thanks Christoph and Inside BMW Group Classic

[@Smokedship]

Being part of the classic museum, its obvious that these cars are well looked after and their materials treated frequently hence the plastics are all fine.

[@dillanmistry]

The e38 is the type of car that never ages

[@lloydi]

I have a Mora violet e38 750i. Wonderful car but is currently in the garage getting new hydraulic shock absorber put in. They are very hard to come by nowadays

[@darkdjo]

One of the most beautiful sedan car ever made ! My favorite, to be honest :)

[@AngeloAndroid]

What an amazing car, still in my top 3 and will probably never drop out.

[@Tech-sf4ce]

O jaaaa 🤩 Fury marzeń. Brak słów aby określić piękno tych aut. 👍👍👍

[@SanMarinoM3cs]

Still need a video on the e46 m3 touring and the (e94?🤷🏻‍♂️m3) pickup

[@Hopeview777]

I love the humour you both have especially in the back of the BMW 7 series just listening to your humour made me subscribe to your channel, very good script and funny keep it up.

[@BH_London]

Does anyone know why James Bond’s 7 Series had the square US spec licence plate shape instead of the normal rectangular Euro plates? The car was in Germany on German plates in the film so always seemed odd to me

[@SiamLars]

And it was actually a 740i used. Not a 750!

[@MichaelOKeefe2009]

When your 750iL has a TV in a back, a fax machine, a bar and a telephone, that's REAL FUCKING LUXURY.

[@roberthorwich6121]

I had one of this shape, back in the day. A 730i, it was seriously underpowered ! Currently I have a 2022 740d, which actually makes more power than the 750iL in the video. It goes like hell ! Superb Car.

[@kiwihame]

Seriously, if BMW made cars (and videos) like this now, standard will be fine, I'd buy one. I love BMWs of this era. Brilliant video. Brilliant cars. The ultimate driving machines.

[@hotfuzz6621]

The e38 has always been my favorite 7 series model. Thanks for this video.

[@018139548]

Finally a video from BMW classic that I have been waiting for. Thanks for the upload.

[@swansmeister]

I had a e38 730d individual, such a chill car to drive. I am a guy that like fast cars and always had fast cars, this was one of the forst slower cars I had but I didnt care one bit, it was fast enough and you drove it with no worry on your mind when you are in it. Than I am not even started about the timeless design and how good the quality was.

[@BMWarrior1]

This is absolutely insane! true genius BMW engineers and their passion! Long Live BMW

[@ThaMythbuster]

Wow! You never see movie cars where everything actually "works", especially the stunt cars that can actually be driven like that!

[@joeyy8408]

Just got my hands on a mint E38 740iL recently and it is one of the best BMW's I have owned. Truly a top 10 BMW model.

[@davo705]

Still love the e32 750il- The sound when the engine starts up is awesome...

[@boundish1]

The E38 is peak. It's understated and classy.

[@jakeeclouse4799]

All very beautiful. I don't think I could ever let go of my 740il. That maroon is a gorgeous color. That two two is sweet. I wouldn't mind that paint job.

[@jackdoe3889]

War der E38 in den Bond Film denn wirklich ein 750iL anstatt 740iL mit 750 Modellschriftzug? Bin mir zielmlich sicher dies wurde hier und da behauptet. Wie war es denn und wievele Fahrzeuge wurden dabei benutzt? Interresiert mich einfach weil war damals zufällig in HH im nähe von Hbf früh Sonntag morgens als es dort gedreht wurde.

[@حسنالقرشي-ب6ط]

ماشاءالله مازال الموديل هذا موجود أرغب بشراء وكم المطلوب السعر بالدولار

Hello, Will the video of the 7 series with the S62 engine be released ?

[@MATA-mz1db]

This car has a special place in my heart since I saw the Transporter when I was a teenager

[@thomasklaiber4740]

The E38 - Best 7-series ever. Love it.

[@Atomicpasi]

THE Best looking 7 Series Ever. Understatement and Elegance. ❤

[@dannyboytubeable]

Great video, keep them coming but maybe up the length? 2 minutes and 12 seconds per car is not a lot.

[@theagency5161]

It is possible to buy one of this cars?

[@ViceCityNightcrawler]

Wow that 2 tone 7 series is too nice, I can’t believe all the special options it has.

[@AliHJawad]

This generation is the best generation of the 7-Series BMW ever made, and thank you for such a rare masterpiece .

[@mrmusic1880]

Wow, definitely one if the most enjoyable video's I have ever watched!

[@christian-jakobgrasl]

My dad had this as a 740i with the 4.4 liter naturally aspirated V8 and 286bhp it was the same refurbished 7 series like this first 750iL it was the ultimate car we had… I loved it 😍😍😍

[@shakesnbake]

Where has this channel been all my life?!!! Awesome!

[@mikeivoyloff1656]

Yo, look at the two-toned E38. Any intel what kind of edition is that, please?

[@leejeongtaek]

I owned 01’ 750iL and it was gorgeous. A fine memory.

[@BMWiE-lz3nu]

Always wanted to try and modify half one those intakes onto a m52

[@rumaiznazeem9610]

Absolutely incredible, “sheer driving pleasure”

[@Sentosaman]

That bmw museum on my bucket list now! Wonder what other gems they have there? 😎

[@KingMooseThe3rd]

I have this car! Lovely to see some recognition of a classic!

[@zakwanf]

please do the z8, that’s pretty much my ultimate dream car🥰🥰🥰

[@8-CylinderVelocity]

Legendary piece of German engineering! V12 and rear wheel drive, with nothing but the best of Bavarian luxury, this is a dream car for sure! It's also the car that 2Pac was shot on. Rest in peace for the legend, but like this E38, legends never die.

[@hoomanAdnan]

Timeless design 🙌🏼❤️🔥

[@sandycheeks7865]

I had a 5.4 shadowline black 750IL back in about 2006 and it always used to get a lot of love. The saddest thing was having the instant fuel economy guage right infront of the driver's line of sight, which rarely went above 20mpg. On accelleration it was frequently below 5mpg.... I didn't have the fax machine but I did have a 'FAX' modem connection point in the rear. It was a wonderful car to drive and my only regret was not being able to sit in the back!

[@marcin1694]

At the beginning I thought - next boring channel about cars, but I like 750Li so started watching. At the end I think - wow, that was a greate episode ;)

[@xile321]

I love your videos. Please just make them longer and more in-depth

[@SinaBagheri]

your videos keep getting better. this one could have been longer too!

[@vk3kvk]

Tolle Autos!Der Lagerfeld Wagen ist sehr schön!Bitte ein Video vom BMW Turbo von 1972!!!Danke und Gruss von einem BMW Mitarbeiter aus Melbourne.

[@quantumphaser]

This design aged like a fine wine. Today's designs will age like beer.

[@zxy1987106]

The control of the bond 750 was done via Ericsson R380, instead of Nokia 9 series. This prototype R380 was sold in recent years at very high cost.

[@d0g0k]

I love shit like this. I had a 540i e39 and it had the old car phone. I got it working and used it all the time. Felt so fucking cool lol

[@XteroBlade2117]

Why can’t I find any for sale with all the options that the second one had?

[@PeteRoy]

thank you for doing this BMW classic, make more, wish I had a V12 BMW 750

[@dorianvisser1922]

Why do you quote power figures in hp and not kW?

[@tohaklim]

Surprised you talked about the E38 equipment and didn't mention ACC

[@woesteloepi.]

I own an older one.. a E23 1985 735i and i love it!

[@MaxTMum]

amazing cars and well presented

[@Cynical_Ninja]

Best episode so far guys!

[@videowsatcher]

Could you show an E38 L7?

[@alisakran7063]

I had one of these a few years ago. I loved it.

[@mrbn_h259]

Beautiful car. One of my favourite 7 series. ❤️

[@ThatMF_Doom]

The 750iL and the 850csi are the best BMW's

[@peterpenhk]

should have more details in the title, the Lagerfield and Bond cars are pure gold

[@gogutzy]

Wow color navigation in 98. Lexus had touchscreens way earlier, ls400 facelift.

[@jameslatham249]

E23! E23! E23! Do a video on the original 7er. Early 728 vs late turbo 745i, maybe a SA 745i for good measure.

I really love the second car, you talked about
