Scotty Kilmer you have very cheap gasoline in america, also i love your sincerity, your videos, keep up the good work. Good luck and good health
barozanul2 I hope you don't live in Brazil. They are inan emergency situation from that truckers' strike.
Hey Scotty, I always thought this was the sort of car you said one should avoid...like the plague. A 12-year-old BMW with a V-12 sells for around $11 - $15k. WOW, that's cheap for all that gimmicky luxury and plenty of carefree V-12 motoring ahead. If you're only making minimum wage, you would have to be insane not to drive a German V-12!
Anne Bradley nah, România, but still is very expensive considering our monthly wage is about 400 - 450 usd, the prices are like in the west, so...
Scotty Kilmer These are littered around the side of highways for sale 4.5-6k.
His car review made me realise we really don't have anything revolutionary in today's cars. It's pretty much 10-20 year old technology that's revised and "polished" to make it glamorous for each new generation.
Very true! Drive a 2019 Nissan Altima and it has a remarkably similar roadfeel and performance to a 1991 Nissan Sentra, except that it gets better gas mileage.
Except that all the safety technology ten years ago was available in high priced luxury cars. Now you can get lane assist, pedestrian detection, blind spot detection for much cheaper these days. That's how tech works, its available early on in high priced products then gets cheaper.
very good point.
I mean if being to detect objects and properly brake for you, maintain cruising speed while driving behind a car at a set distance is 10-20 yr old tech then idk what to tell you.
And he didn't even pointed out all the features, i know of 5 more. And i don't know it all
12 years on this is still advanced. Cant imagine how amazing this would have been in '06.
what im saying
I came from the future. And it's still amazing
60 Dollars to fill up 😂 60$=53€
In Germany you would have paid at least 120$ 😂😂
Now everybody knows how the government fucks us every day thank God i have a company car
America is the greatest country in the world.
@@basshead. sir you have to many socialists libtards and all kinds of lgbtq or what's so ever freaks in your country not to mention that part of your country will be part of Mexico soon (look at the births in your country) so I say Australia is the greatest country because most people from Europe move there and that says a lot
+Yuri HT I love Home and Away tho. But I don't agree with you.
Jack Smith germany has twice the population of california and is 3/4 od the land area
Being a 06 model this car will still turn more heads than 90% of 2019 models. 😂
Thats crazy! Why is that?
@@tripsmarketinggroup 2019 kidney/grill look like rabbit/pig/or car who like sniif from far away. (sorry, fact sometime hurt)
um, 7-series don't turn heads, no matter what year...
Turn the head of a mechanic who is paid to fix it
Of course it will, i have only seen one in the last year, all the others are broken
This car is scotty's worst nightmare
SexyToshi I think Scotty is trolling lol. Either that or this was the only video was submitted this week.
It's competition. People wanted to see a BMW video so we got one
Andre Hicks I totally agree
Lincolnator: I see you everywhere.
In 2016, I got a 2005 745Li for free. It was not in great condition when I got it and I drove it for 4 months and it would have cost me $8000 for fixing all the issues. Sold it off as is to my neighbor who worked at a dealer. He uses it but said I made the right choice. The engine has plastic parts and the electrical system was a mess. It is a cool car but unless it has been maintained to perfection, don’t ever buy one. It is a true money pit
I thought that was a very informative video on that BMW. I had no idea they had all of that back in 2006. Good job on explaining all the features in that car.
Vetman, Very well put.
Luxury cars are often the first to get innovative features. All the way down to safety that is on every car nowadays. Cadillac has what is called Super Cruise on the top tier model which uses cameras and lidar, as well as maps and GPS to allow the car to completely drive itself on freeways. There are talks of this feature eventually coming to other GM models.
So much for the proverbial as long as it gets you from A to B!
well I suppose there are still people who are crazy about expensive gadgets instead of keeping it simple.
Vetman they had most of the things mentioned here in the cars from 90-x
When Scotty goes to bed he checks his closet for this car.
LMAO
This comment gave me life 🤣
😂
lol
Scotty sleeps in the Celica
When this car goes to repair shop it cost you one kidney.
Better than pricey Bentley anyway or s class
Love this car.
My friend got one, you should see the warning lights in the dashboard, It's like a party lights XOXOX.
I had one in the shop last year, it was a bit complicated to diagnose the fuel issue it had but we were able to figure out the high pressure fuel pumps were going bad
Plus a left testicle
He did a good job on his review.
Thank you, I really put my heart into all my videos
Rev up your engines
Yeah I tried really hard and I think it came out well. Thanks for watching
+
wobbly sauce thanks for watching
Doug Demuro changed a lot since the last time I watched his videos
Yeah
Really cleaned his knees
It's all about quirks and features
All the reliability jokes aside, the car is stunning 😍
I believe that the v12 is actually the reliable power train over the v8
@@starsaber2002yeah, say what you want about BMWs (I’m BMWs biggest critic myself lol) but BMW actually makes a decent V12
you think people who say this car is a money pit OWN a 7 series? lmao
This guy didn't watch any of your videos Scotty. lol
Minh WHO is Scotty?
Minh I feel like every guest host is not a fan
He saw them all. He just likes real cars. Not point a to point bs
All this tech on a 2006 car, but most cars don’t even have half the tech now!
Go buy one and watch how many of those features don't work anymore. I looked at a few. Some had busted stereo speakers, refrigerator didn't work, lights on dash on, and check engine. They headlights aren't that great compared to current standards and are a pain to upgrade. If you can get the scanner to read "no codes" then it might be ok, but any problems after will be expensive. It doesn't really turn heads anymore and no one gives a damn about a v12 engine nowadays!
@@drjd2real you never touched one of those marvelous automobiles. He only mentioned half the features, and does v12 engines are literally the best gas engines. If people trash their cars that doesn't make it a bad model. But of course that car was not made for you, it is for people with money.
Exactly. The car itself is top notch, it was above 100 000$ when it was new and it still has options that many cars don´t have today and it that aspect BMW 7-series, Audi A8 and Merc with their S-class are the ones who come up with new features (Audi A8 with LED-matrix head lights for example).
Running a low mileage 7-series, well kept car would take at least 10-15k a year as a second car, considering you have competent service station. If a 7-series BMW was previously owned by some careless owner, it would take a lot more. There are things that fail with E65/66 BMW, including the audio system (in most cases it´s the amplifier), also steering rack because of the enormous weight of the car. The Infotainment system of this BMW was also something new for a 2002 model year, a in 2003 it was introduced in a E60 5-series. It was a new thing back then and it doesn´t seem special now, but kind of shows that BMW set the trend with their system.
My civic has things this doesnt have... Auto steer? Radar guided cruise control?
drjd2real - The chauffeur would appreciate the V12 engine. Especially when he’s not paying to fill it up with gas.
People who can afford cars like the 7 series brand new usually don’t drive them. So it’s kind of redundant IMO to jam all of those driving aid features to be enjoyed only by the chauffeur.
Love how enthusiastic this owner is about his car!
Lol I was that way when I bought a BMW and then I had to get it fixed........
Big E I mean wouldn’t you if you had a car like this
@Asad Zee thank you for the kind words, plz take a look at my channel for other car reviews :)
He forgot to mention the Car has (ARS) Active Roll Stabilization. The Hydraulic Sway Bars counter centrifugal force when turning. Example: it counters body lean- when turning. Basically- the Car defies physics.
Karibu sana sana. Hakuna matata
Also the headlights turn when going around curves. Parking sensors (my favorite), heated steering wheel and some other things
@Potato when you corner hard and it stays level to the ground with no percievable body lean, it sure feels physics defying - also makes you feel like there's no limit to it's grip - I've never cornered it hard enough to lose traction on dry pavement, feels like it's impossible to do (obviously it is possible though, lol)
@@gtarules1 active headlights are a neat gimmick, they are very noticeable in parking garages since their point of light moves on the walls as you turn the steering wheel, it's neat but of limited benefit. The heated steering wheel is amazing!
Nothing defies physics, they simply applied its (physics) rules to our favor.
he made this video while waiting for a TOW TRUCK
Meysam Mosaheb lol
Now that is FUNNY! 🤣🤣🤣
TRUTH! LMAO
Never needed a tow with this car, not yet anyway...
Meysam Mosaheb amazing
For 22 gallon of petrol, you would pay $130 in Croatia... And our monthly wage is around $500... :/
And they think that fuel prices are high in America...
Catalin Florin they would have a stroke when they See european prices haha
Costs even more in the UK. 22 gallons would cost around £110-130 so like 150-170usd.
It costs 30 dollars to fill her up in saudi arabia, and that's after the recent 80% increase in gas prices.
In Europe we don't have 91 Oct since ww2..
This 7 series looks like a brand new car ☺👌
Right, it is clean!
No
@@ethan_hsv62l your eyes are blind
Even better than the new model.
The quality of those seats are remarkable reminds me of my 05 e class Benz I had.
It's a superb car until your car gets a warning light on the console. :)
haha
GP That's a feature of all BMW 🙄
Just A warning light ?
Pick one 🤣😂
6 warning lights
I work at a BMW dealership & not once have I sat in a new 7series, X7 , 8Series , etc that has as impressive tech that this has
whut
Scott gald you stay honest with your content. Many people always get paid off from big companies to lie and make fake reviews. I really hate that
Also this car is a 2006 so...
*Cough* Toyota *cough*
Saint Alphonse
that's terrible
lol
BMW thought of everything except reliability 😂
Back then theres was no any car with good reliability
That BMW finally increased in value when he added the fuel.
Aamik-Adrian Kalinin lmao i have a 98 corolla with a million miles on original everything wym
@@pedroprieto6885 lol...... A Corolla 🙄
@@ifeanyiikemefuna3706 lol..... not being in debt
When you look up the definition of "endless money pit" in the dictionary it just shows a picture of this car.
When you take it to a BMW dealership for repair the price just reads "ur fuked lol"
Good one brother
"...and this button right here opens up the pit where you'd pour your money in..."
"You can program it to automatically open up every two weeks"
that's an airplane 😂
Flying first class!
Happy father's day Scotty.
BRIAN BOB CHAPMAN HOT WHEELS FAN thanks for watching
BRIAN BOB thanks for watching
My 2003 745Li was like $96,000 new... I paid $9300 with 100k miles on it.. in service over the last 50k miles it has cost me about $2300... not bad for any car and it's super comfy
Such a reliable car. No problem what so ever. I sold it close to its BP. Really enjoyed it.
This car gave me the best memories for the whole 2 months that i. had it
not selling mine until i can afford a newer 7 series. once you've tried a luxury line, you ain't going back.
That car broke My wallet
BMW Dude The new Proton Perdana looks much better and RELIABLE.
While there is accuracy to that cute remark, my cost of ownership is still less than the depreciation of buying most new luxury or even mid-size cars.
I had a 2002 750il with the V12 and my wallet is still broken.
YOLO NYC by Eric David maybe..maybe not
YOLO NYC by Eric David please if you can list the repairs you have done to the car other than maintenance parts
With the costs
Happy father's day Scotty.
This BMW was made for James Bond, lol
he's got the 745il in tomorrow never dies, if my memory is correct, with the autopilot controlled from is Nokia's phone touchscreen. Impressive for 1997!
@@famicomnintendo No, he's actually driving an E38 750iL in Tomorrow Never Dies. Unquestionably, the E38 was the best 7 ever followed by the current G11.
brand new " previously" owned...lol🤣🤣
Didn't see that coming
One of the best honest, down to earth reviews of the E66, good work by that guy!
Happy Fathers Day!
I humbly thank you for your knowledgeable and trusted contributions, Sir.
Handyman Inside rev up your engines

Billy Mercury thanks for watching
All those gadgets look cool now, and I'm not saying they're not; but it's going to be a different story when they start breaking in a few years. And they will.
They made it 12-years now, I'm hoping they will last another 12+
It's nice to dream, but who knows even a blind sow finds an acorn now and again.
Bible Flock Box has scotty made us this cynical on bmws hahahaha
Electric devices usually last a long time there is'nt anything that can go wrong with them really. Only things like central locking and the alarm can become a pain as i've experienced with my 18+ year Seat toledo. Given it is not a luxury car, but just saying, all the lights and vents work perfectly fine after all those years.
Fixing the car would be a different story. You have to get one of those 5 grand scan tools if you want to fix it yourself because the dealership no matter how much money you pay won't clear any codes unless they deem it is fixed right, in order for that to happen they have to redo everything themselves. (My friend owned a BMW).
2006 BMW 760Li was the best year for 7 Series because so many features and it is wider than the other 7 Series BMW's Great review. 👍
I hope he does a follow up video on how the electronics/computer/plastics fail, and winds up buying a Corolla🚘🚘🚘
Life is too short to drive a corolla
Remarkably, 100% of the interior electronics, gadgets, plastics and creature comfort features continue to work perfectly, never had a problem with any of them! I'll post an update video to my channel soon.
you sound broke. corolla boys are balding soiboys
The engineer in me was amazed at all those features on that BMW. The realist in me kept a running tab of the cost to fix all that when it breaks.
Lt.Dan, Exactly!
Very detailed review of a luxury BMW. Thumbs up
Alejandro Bello agreed!
Owning a 2006-2012 7-series is like dating a supermodel with a meth habit. Sure, it looks great to arrive in but behind closed doors it's a nightmare!!! The excitement wears off extremely quick with these bimmers and you can't wait to unload them to the next sucker who truly can't afford her!!! If you ever get a chance to buy one of these, run for the hills. I had a 2006 750LI so trust me on this!!!
Faxxxxx.... im selling mone right now
What’s the point of having all that bs if its in the shop lmao
I feel you
Do you see his car in the shop? Nope Lmao
And why would it be? BMWs are incredible if you take care of them
Its a good Car- you can't let things snowball on you. It's high-tech- but needs to be maintained. If you're not rich or a Master Tech- don't buy this car.
Do you own a 7 series of any generation? As long as you do all the scheduled maintenance and preventative maintenance BMW’s are phenomenal cars. I have a 2015 750Li XDrive Msport. I have never had the slightest issue and I am the original owner. The problem is that people who can’t afford the car or maintenance requirements get into these vehicles trying to basically impress people with a car they have no business owning. If someone wants a car they don’t have to do scheduled maintenance on I suggest they drive a Camry.
$120k now $8k on a used car lot. Sad how that works for bmw
Just Another Memer bmw don’t care one but nor would they ever need to. What matters is the price they originally sell it at and how many of them
Yeah you're right these cars they lose value really fast because the maintenance too high so a lot of people scared of buying them but if you have the money or if you're BMW Tech like me it will be a lovely car to have
Ford Racing '82 BMW=PENUTS
any BMW depricate like PENUTS
One is listed for sale right now in the Toronto Area with 104,000 Miles on it at around $ 10,200 USD....and it's in showroom condition.
I have to admit for a BMW that's twelve years old with all these special features and quirks I'm impressed they all work. It's pretty obvious that the previous owner maintained the vehicle very well. Yes, of course there will be some issues with it later on but you have to admit that for a car this old with all the electronic gadgets and so forth it's not a bad deal.
I personally like the vehicle. Great job Eric!
I see these comments everywhere, but I don't know where the rumour started. I have an E39 from -02 as an everyday drive. It's got almost 300 000km on the meter and most things still works and feels solid. Had it on inspection yesterday and got two remarks: headlights too foggy and parking brake not strong enough. This is the second time I own one of these, and to be honest I've had zero failures on the electrical gizmos. What really breaks these cars is the brittle plastics used for pipes and hoses in the engine compartment. Other than that, normal maintenance will keep you rolling for years. Great quality cars!
I have an e66 that is rock solid. If you take care of them these are honestly great cars. Cadillac is the luxury brand that will fall to peices no matter how it is maintained.
Thanks for your honest opinion about the Car. The Car was looked after- and well taken care of. People who say negative things about the car- don't know how the car works. If you don't know how something works- you can't resolve the problems that will come up.
E46 206,000miles and still strong.
I could tell by the condition of the leather the car is well maintained.
This dude is kinda awesome and for sure cool ... Thx for your videos 🤘🤘🤘
Thank you for the kind words :)
Love my 5 series. Almost like I’m flying a plane every time I sit in it. Like a pilot lol
Scotty didn't comment on how everything is going to break?
absboodoo I think he's trolling and now enjoying the comments lol
Waiting for an update after 6months from this guy
nekrakys1 unless he bought bought an extended warranty , he might be getting rid of it sooner than later. Had a 2003, biggest headache 😠
craig bryan yup they are junk!!..i know people who couldn't wait to get rid of theirs.
Some if these BMW's got more than 150 computers in one car, of course things are going to wrong. I think that's why Lincoln is afraid to go in anything too extravagant.
Its an 06
sly tyme yep, they missed that point. It’s like walking by a yard with a lot of Chihuahuas in it, just a lot of noice.
I had one of those, kept forgetting which switch turned the wipers on.
Agreed, having 4 stalks around the steering wheel is bloody confusing - and the wiper stalk movements are not intuitive - I've sprayed the windows (and the headlights for that matter) with the cleanser many times when trying to just get a single wipe
Def a badass car will be a big hit collectors item for sure it’s still so far ahead of its time
Scotty secretly loves bmw owners, they help his business
Bosco Han you got that right
Too many sensors too many problems.
Kind of hypocritical
These cars are a nightmare as much as I do want one. I'm not into luxury but I love the fact that you can pick these up now for a mere $4,000. Most people don't want them. I would be interested in someone posting videos on how to fix the mass amount of electrical problems.
Had a 5, a 3, and X5. All over engineered, and sounds cool when you're sitting with the sales guy - but when your daughter needs to get to school on a snowy Monday and the sensor comes up on iDrive that your ABS and Xdrive system are malfunctioning for the 4th time in 3 months, it starts to get boring.
D B trust me you dont want one, not only electrical mechanical too i own one
D B if ur gonna get one then please lease it so that whenever there’s a problem they fix it for free😩💯
Ik bmws are bad on reliability but this is my dream right here
This guy is Ozzy Osbourne car edition 😋😂😁
Very impressive. Having owned three BMWs, I can’t possibly imagine everything will ever be working correctly at the same time.
Happy Father 's day Scotty
lynxman busman Happy Father's Day, Scotty. This is such a fun channel! This guy's BMW looks brand new!
BMW, the ultimate driving machine may not be just a slogan. This car is a proof of that.
Not the ultimate reliable machine
I know this is a old video but dame this car is way ahead of its time great video
It’s crazy how that car was one of the most high tech back in 2006. Lucky man he has that car. Very luxurious.
Funny thing is the 2006 face lift was only a cosmetic update the tech is still from the 2002 version too lol imagine going back to 2002 with this Luxury makes Mercades look very dated.
it's the kind of car that you hire a driver to shuttle you around with
My godfather bought a 2004 bmw 7 series and he says the maintenance costs are acceding wut he paid for it
milusther he probably bought one that want looked after
i still have mine bought used in 2013. clocked in about 50k miles already and spent a little over 1k for the maintenance. granted i only use this on the weekend long trips.
Hope to be featured here one day!! Once I upgrade my jalopy.
i always thought "jalopy" was a vernacular slang, didn't know it was actually a real english word
Gbenga Adebayo 😂
*My broda, laugh wan kill me*
i tire oh...i think say na 9ja slang b4
I just love this video as it reminds me how good my car is. I need reminding as it hasn't worked for a month now and no garage is willing to fix it!
I see this type of comments a lot , "omg , a money pit" , well ... yeah , if you're poor you're not going to own an 760Li e65 , like .. c'mon that's an automotive piece of history , just keep driving your Corolla and STFU .
Whatever dude, I’ll take a Lexus LS460 over this pile of junk.
@@dwightschrute7286 you must be blind seeing this car as a junk lol
@@dwightschrute7286 the one who buys a Lexus is because he is very lazy and stingy to maintain a car lol
Diesel Prime I pretty sure I seen this car for 5000 is not a lot to buy but a lot to maintain I don’t need to impress anyone
@@yourboijerry Who said it is about impressing? the person who truly buys a BMW, a Mercedes or even an Infiniti, is because they know the brand very well and have enough money to cover the maintenance costs of those cars, not everything in life is a Toyota with leather
If a 2006 has all these features makes you think why bother with new
My thoughts exactly when buying it!
Right? 👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾🇳🇬🇺🇸
Lol your right
Henry McComments cos it breaks
For the suckers that needed to go out and buy the latest model, or those who lease cars(outside of econo boxes)
I thought I was watching Doug for a minute. Very solid video from a smaller channel
jalene150 thank you for the kind words :)
But it's got 1.2 million subscribers it can't be a small channel!
Very solid review, except a short video not Doug's half an hour duration clips...
better than DOug
honestly it was better than doug
I can say this was the first luxury car i ever sat on when i was 11yrs old and i used to think wow this car is amazing felt like a rich kid for once lol and said to myself im sure cars in the future will take this info and apply it to their vehicles to look more futuristic. Now im 27 yrs old and cars like hondas now have dual screens paddle shifters Bluetooth heated seats but ofcourse still missing alot of the technology this bmw has, im thinking the 2024 hondas will have a fridge for my lunch and seat controls in the back seat for my daughters to be comfortable... Its amazing how technology, busyness and humans work... Great video👍
I sold my 2006 BMW 750 with 189k miles on it and never had an issue. Not one. It was governed at 168mph. And yes, I tested that out the first day.
Happy Fathers Day Scotty!! Even on your day you are still rocking videos away! Blessings...
Key word is 'was' worth
Haaaaaaa!!!! So true.... Naw bad investment the older the car gets....Too many gadgets n computers... Once it start breaking them pockets, he will regret it... The gas alone is regrettable!!!
Got memes? will the counterfeit James Bond please get out to the left? Oh Thank You.
I should enter this with a video about my Hilux. AC: nope. Heated seat: nope. Adjustable seat: nope. Power steering: nope. Back seat: nope. Auto locking hubs: nope. ABS: nope. Smooth and silent ride: nope. Rugged 4 cylinder non-turbo diesel engine with a 5 speed manual box with a manual transfer case and manual hub locks: Yes. Luxury feature: Fluffy zebra colored seat cover from the 80's.
Its not all that different from the mercedes. The biggest difference is that my hilux isnt an endless money pit.
I could only imagine how much it would cost to repair all these sensors
Sensors are cheap and you can fix it yourself.
It's like a hybrid kind of in 2006 and everything still works amazing.
Hybrid?! Is that a joke? It only averages 8mpg in NYC, lol, it is a V12 antithesis to the hybrid!
more features means more things are going to go wrong eventually
at the same time.
I agree, I opt for less, but nowadays it is almost impossible to get simple car (just like you can not get a simple phone).
But the technology in this 2006 car is impressive, similar or better than today's car :)
1. You don't have to worry about blinding other people with high beam
2. Proceeds to leave high beam on all the time
3. The sensor breaks or malfunctions
4. You blind the oncoming traffic without even noticing
no dude, if you're competent you can see the high beam stays on. It's obvious
Competence and common sense goes out the window when a BMW is purchased
I'm glad this guy kept the camera above waist the whole time he was gushing over it.
I had an 80s caddy that had that auto high-low beam feature, and it worked pretty good.
Repair bills be higher than Redman

No way, driving it is much too much fun!
This BMW qualify s for uber. Minimum make/model year is 2002 for UberX.
The 7 series is the Flagship of BMW. As a Mechanic- We own a fleet of Asian- Domestic & European Vehicles. The 7 Series Car is on the list of future acquisitions. Update: just acquired the 2006 760 I. Thanks for teaching about my new car. The Car was essentially a gift.
Doe's it have Indicater's? Every BMW I seem to follow never use them.
I never use mine.
theflyingstonemason 68 Blinkers are for Prius driver 🤣😂
I'm kiddin. I have never encountered a friendly BMW driver (IN GERMANY)!
A private jet on wheels
The Car does remind Me of a Jet- when sitting in the drivers seat. Its a beautiful Car indeed.
Costs the price of a jet to repair it
Most people would say yada yada yada.. not a good buy, expensive, breaks down, electronics, wouldn't last, not a good investment, Trent issues. But people buying these luxury cars think otherwise.. life don't last, body breaks down too, and time definitely is expensive.. so why not make everything comfy down to every second in the journey. Seems a good buy for those who truly deserve it.
Very well said! Body breaks down too, time is expensive - those are wise words Manuel!
Amen!
Wholly crap! "Deserve"... How much more subjective can you get? Personally I would have replaced the word "deserve" with "desire".
... stupid
@@DarnellHendeason-dk3uw These cars are like Lance Armstrongs Testicles. Scotty usually operates on the KISS principle, keep it simple stupid and I bet he would drop an explicative or two while working on this.
Btw it’s takes premium gas buddy 😉also make a new video when u get your first service bill...
The most beautiful car model that I loved 💕
Good video 760li a living room on wheels
slim Doc's lol, that's a perfect description
Black guy plz don't steal it
@@user-mi4yc7pr3x Are you implying that a Black Man can't make an honest living?
R white guy please don’t shoot up a public place

Doug the type of guy to... Wait wrong channel.
Mrcool179 😂 good one
I've been pondering on getting an E46 M3, 6 speed manual, reasonably priced, used.
U get it?
Great car friend had one I drove it was a blast
Yes there's a lot of community support for it
Go for it. The S54 is also bulletproof. Just look out for the cooling system and the rear subframe.
90 percent of the people who talk about reliability and how its gonna cost an arm and a leg don't know a thing about fcp euro. Nor having any BMW ownership experience...
Facts
Very nice car, you're a lucky man to have it.
I'll bet the owners manual looks like a phone book.
If it ever needs repairs, you could have Scotty Kilmer come and fix it.
Scotty doesn’t mess with those piece of junk bmws
Benard Jenkins I still have my 2 Owner 69GTX440, All original.
bill thompson can you imagine how many times scotty would tell you it's "an endless money pit"....could be a great drinking game if it was on video!
i owned a 745li, it was the worst car i ever owned, repeatedly broke down and repairs cost a fortune as well as parts, not to mention that you can't move it at all unless it's on (can't put in neutral while off) it came down to the point that it was burning oil and shooting out smoke on one of the mufflers due to me being unable to fix it yet having to rely on it, such a fix required to pull out the engine and that was costing 4k! not even at the dealership either but at a bmw certified mechanic shop, im just glad its off my hands now, sold it as it was for 1.5k, because really, that car was just a bunch of high-priced junk.
daviesakiller I hope the guy owns a bank cuz he's probably going to need it
In sweden that fill up would've set you back around 150 dollars. I know for a fact that gas prices in the us vary from different states but still no way near our price.
How do y'all afford that
It’s $3.54 cents for premium in Colorado..in the mountains it’s much higher
eller hur. Snart 16 kr/l här!!
4 bucks a gallon in Cali...
Alex R it costs 30 dollars to fill her up in saudi arabia and that's after the recent 80% increase in gas prices
I am a hug BMW fan and this is one of a kind BMW, I seen few 760 and each one has different options unique to it but hard to find one that's has it all like this one. Great video I hope you enjoy this car and keep it well maintained .
My friend from Mexico decided to buy one of these I told him not to spend his life savings $40,000 for a 2006 it lasted him about one year and the heads broke by the way he purchased it in 2013 I still love him he’s my best friend
The guy with the BMW reminds me of Ted Bundy.
lol, not even close . . Take another look at Bundy.
David Lodermeier Maybe not aesthetically, I was thinking in terms of his mannerisms.
I assure you that I've never killed anyone. Maybe you mean Al Bundy??
Canyonaro?
I typically don't love the 7 series. But those were some cool quirks and features!
Dang, I didn't expect any 06 car to be this techy. What was a luxury for some is now a reality for all.
Who doesn't want a car that keeps your butt awake?
I sense so much negativity in the comments. That is one cool car !
rc121crx I agree. But it's probably because of the type of this channel..As far as i can tell from the couple of videos i watched, this channel is not about the usual new (expensive) cars you would normally see on most car reviewing channels, but rather about old (and most of the times ugly :p) but therefore cheap, reliable, and easy to fix cars that just get the job done for a small budget. So people here say they would rather drive a corolla than a 7 series or some Mercedes. They feel like this car is a money waste and therefore hate on it.
That was so cool. I am a BMW owner and after owning one they are quite addictive.
They are , i have a 05 745i but not as much as little gadgets he does but still 👍🏼
zoezoe610 I like the seven series too!
juan navarro my dad had one when they first came out he recently sold it having any problems?
LegendaryGamingChannel yes why
juan navarro some of them don’t have as many problems but some have a lot of problems but almost everything worked fine in his car
The heated/cooled center console bin is actually very simple to implement and I wonder why most cars don't have this. Just pass the a/c or the heating duct through the bin - really you could almost diy on any car.
I’m not a BMW person but damn. I quite impressed with this one.
Kim Kardashian broke the internet.... this car broke my bank.
I never cared for bmw... I love this car i want it!!!
Really nice found a clean one with 80k miles for 8k$ I’m debating if I should
I just bought a 2004 745 li with 269k Miles
I am blown away with it
I am now a fan of German engineering
