Servicing A 17 Year Old BMW V8 7 Series - 2005 E66 740Li

[@ironmantooltime]

M539 Restorations would have done more manly noises I think, especially when you splashed oil on the *underside* of the car 😎

[@procs81]

Finally someone who uses fresh oil for lubricating the rubber seal. Thank you!

[@Winter1256]

Lovely yacht take care of it 👏

[@eluthriastarise1770]

Because it's a defective shite part and also a forking crunt! Hahah this is why I subbed! I dunno how you manage to work inside that tiny garage let alone film, mad props to you mate. Hope to see some E31 content in the future.

[@legioner9]

Very ellegant car. Especially the one in the video.

[@DISOPtv]

Beautiful car! Thanks for the video!

[@jagloverhu]

What's going on with the E31 these days? Will there be a new video anytime soon?

[@leonardoluc6362]

As yr garage space is ltd the more i appreciate yr work, keep it up. Could you do a video from privacy screen repair please? Subscribed.

[@maxextz]

Lovely looking car apart from the headlights. Nice video.

Interesting why BMW decided to move the filter to the underside of the car and not have an auxiliary filter as on the v8 e38s ? It’s super easy change and fill it from up top! cost cutting I guess ?

[@1hundredsalesservicesbigad914]

Man wished you lived in my town I’d have you service mine. Right now I can’t even get the bonnet opened?!

[@TrevorS38]

How do you like it? I've owned and maintained E32, E34 and E39 and tried an E60 only to end up swearing off anything after 03. What is your impression so far?

[@stevesbmwbarn]

Just a fabulous car all round. I've done 120k miles now in 8 years, beyond the stem seals and the central coolant pipe leak, no major bills outside of regular maintenance. I had the Logic 7 amplifier rebuilt, coolant system refreshed, wheels redone a few times, hydraulic ram for the boot replaced, PDC module rebuilt, few parking sensors, all little jobs and easy on the pocket. Had an E38 for 6 years prior and they are worlds apart, the E65 was well ahead of its time.

@@stevesbmwbarn Hy! I have for a lot of years an E38 740iL from 96.....due to the new stupid pollution regulations I plan to buy something newer ( but not sell the E38 ) do you recommend the E66 ? or what about the F02 ...4,4 biturbo? I usually do a lot of repairs on my own .....

[@NordicAdvRider]

I love the e65 and e66 models. The paint looks great too. But what rims is it on the car?

[@user-hc3dr6mx2c]

Original 20“ Option Styling 149

[@NordicAdvRider]

@@user-hc3dr6mx2c Great, thanks 👍

[@mv-cs9tm]

Belive me big rubish i bought 3 months ago with 160.000 km original full service book hard shifting automatic power steering leak valv cover leak ,hard get parts dont buy this car.

[@cliftonjackson441]

you need a diagnostic tool for the system interval resets?

[@charleswarriner5121]

Clean out the bottom of the airbox before putting in the new air filter.

[@goodvibes4351]

Oh I looove me an e66. Right after the e38. The rest come after that.

[@DriveStraight]

What was that round seal with the spring which you replaced on both the sides?

[@voodoomelons]

They are the oil separator valves or crankcase breathers. They usually only last 5 or 6 years.

[@sikanderkhankhalid716]

Quality content

[@gordmacmurchy1266]

E65tgw E66 is a V12 the cars look the same & that’s it there is a very very stark difference between them

[@voodoomelons]

E66 is long wheelbase, nothing to do with engines.

[@diamondjaguar]

What model of lift is that?

[@bb4jdmlude]

Had an 07 740 and the valve stem seals where shot at 75k :(

[@mattsuotoko9443]

Thank you for your video, I like silent contest.. What did U replace starting from minute 6:50? Looks two membranes?

[@j.b.w.]

Looks like the positive crankcase ventilation diaphragm (PCV), there is one for each bank.

[@mattsuotoko9443]

@@j.b.w. Thank you.

[@stevesbmwbarn]

@@j.b.w. Correct!

[@hiiamyu]

What lift is it that you are using?

[@Frikoo]

Can you get that "Remote battery run down!" error off by replacing the fobs battery? I have the same error and tried a couple of batteries but after a few days it comes up again even though the keyless entry keeps working without problems for about year or so.

[@stevesbmwbarn]

You hit on a topic I no longer wish to discuss! Spent 8 years trying to figure it out, replaced every component under the sun including the fobs, diversity antenna, rear window, etc etc etc never got to the bottom of it, I gave up a long time ago!

[@cliftonjackson441]

is that kift juat instalked straight into thr floor with no seri9us digging? and if so can i get an i tsalles price guestimate and ptoduct or company name?

[@voodoomelons]

They just sit on the floor, around €2600.

[@PaulGuiry]
