The glorious E38! Thank you for sharing these.

[@IntroCreatorKyan]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@ItsAaldrik]

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

[@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.

[@MambaMentality24]

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

[@metalgearfan2222]

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

[@King_Fadi]

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

[@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 👌👌

[@chrisg4rr377]

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

[@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

[@andreasmi5120]

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

[@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?

[@eytankatz7635]

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

[@BTG07]

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

[@weezy88420]

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

[@dillanmistry]

The e38 is the type of car that never ages

[@shahabahmed3]

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

[@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.

[@hotfuzz6621]

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

[@Tech-sf4ce]

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

[@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.

[@shoman24v]

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

[@einautofan6685]

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

[@Quicktrigger]

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

[@AngeloAndroid]

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

[@hoomanAdnan]

Timeless design 🙌🏼❤️🔥

[@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.

[@mohmoudfarah1897]

Informative and fun to watch; thank you for sharing it with us.

[@mrbn_h2559]

Beautiful car. One of my favourite 7 series. ❤️

[@alisakran7063]

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

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

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

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

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.

Please make a video about E39 M5 and show the one you visited M539 Restorations with in chrome silver shadow paint. This episode was also very well done and fun to watch !

[@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.

[@jeffyu8854]

I really love the second car, you talked about

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

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.

[@maxheadroom224]

Love the style 32s

[@MH_59]

Awesome video as usual, thanks!

[@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.

[@Benbou969]

Red-White BMW is marvelous!

[@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!

[@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 😍😍😍

[@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.

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

[@metinquliyev666]

Best looking 7 series ever!

[@rezo2126]

What on earth happened to BMW’s nowadays… They used to be so beautiful and timeless and now I can barely look an the new ones, with very few exceptions. E38 has to be the most beautiful luxury sedan ever made.

[@AliHJawad]

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

[@SanMarinoM3cs]

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

[@strzepo]

The most epic BMW ever!

[@StrahlemannLP]

Driving and owning one of those, in the short wheel base model. I am quiet happy, that I've chosen the short wheel base, as it is more convient, if you ever want to drive into a city and searching a parking lot in the cramped cities of germany. :-D Titansilber metallic, with the same wheels as your 750iL. And I love it to drive every time, I am fancy for! Keep up with the good work, as I'll do with my 2001 750i.

[@dannyboytubeable]

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