Here all the bad ones are scrapped or exported to Russia, Eastern Europe or Africa.. The few good ones are in collectors garages.. They are almost impossible to find. There is not 3 cars for sale on a hole year of the E38.
To keep an E38 in good condition is very very expensive. Cars are at least 22 years old. Lots of worn out and degeneration of suspensionparts. Lots of electronic issues ass well. I owned a 750iA for 10 years from new but it was a money pit.
@@andersnielsen6044 I own and daily drive my e38 here in the states. To say it is a money pit is an understatement. Mine is a 1997 with the m62TU. They still require new timing chains every 100k miles. water pumps and radiators every 60k miles. the engine block itself has never had any issues, but it requires new oil gaskets once every year or two. fuel pump goes out like clockwork every 40k miles. Because of its age, it takes near constant upkeep of the interior and exterior trim pieces. 3 of 4 exterior door handles have fallen off and needed replacement, all due to a tiny clip that secures it to the door. However I must say, it has 275,000 miles on its original transmission. Although the worst part is, due to the cars weight, it requires a suspension refresh almost annually. I replace the control arms every other year, which is normal according to the e38's maintenance book. During the last 6 months of this period, the car always develops the "55 mph shimmy" or harsh vibration at freeway speeds. Since its an old car, its inexpensive to insure. But I still end up spending $2,000-$4,000 a year on upkeep. Its also terrible on gas, average 16 mpg. Sometimes its worth it, sometimes not so much. I often contemplate getting a newer car, but i only consider this when i'm not driving it. When Im on the road, I never think about replacing it.
@@mastakilla9783 not true, the automatics at BMW at that time were one of the best and fastest on the market which you could purchase And were very ahead of their time...
Got to love the 95 bmw 740 . Double row timing chains and cog gear on chains . Doesn't suffer timing chain guides failure also runs the v12 auto tranny to . Only negative is no vanes not as much torque as the later m62
I learnt how to drive in a manual E38, but with a modest 2.8 inline six. Great fun, though, and plenty powerful for a young lad with more testosteron than self-preservation instinct ;)
It's a M60 engine so obviously pre-facelift, which means the manual transmission is stock. Only with the introduction of the facelift you couldn't order anything else than automatic transmissions for the V8/V12 engines.
Wenn ich mir nochmal einen E38 holen sollte, dann einen mit M60 oder gleich den V12. Auf Facelift umzubauen ist ein Kindergarten im Vergleich zu den Arbeiten an Kette und Vanos 😅. Schönes Auto hast du da.
Das Very Good 260 KMH = 160 MPH That's what i was Expecting Here Scottsdale-Phoenix Arizona years ago there was a lot nice clean E38 740I i used to work on a lot of them Thought be Cool to have one with Manual Trans was yours Converted from Auto to Manual or could you buy 740 w/Manual Trans in Germany i know you can E38 735i 6 Zyl Cheers Prost
Ich besitze den geschalteten R6 (E38) und bin erstaunt, wie deiner im Vergleich kernig klingt. Übrigens lässt er sich anscheinend wie Sau fahren : Schöner Wagen !
@@Capt_n Ha ha, and hast du schon von dem M73 gehört ? 4 Töpfe mehr als der V8, und der klingt dennoch so leise und sanft wie der R6. Leben ist manchmal komplizierter als was du denkst...
Schöne 740. Am Anfang, wenn Sie aus der Garage fahren, ist ein leichtes Geräusch zu hören. Auf dem Bild unter dem Auto. Ich habe auch eine 7 mit V8 und Schaltgetriebe. Dieser Klang ist für mich stärker. Hast du eine Ahnung, was das Geräusch verursacht?
@@Dexoz607 I would imagine they were somewhat rare. I don’t think they offered a manual in the US as a regular option for example, but it might have been possible to order one as an “individual” car, so there could be a few floating around. In Europe it was probably more common as they like manual transmissions better over here.
The fun fact is that it reach 240 on 5th gear ad just 250 on 6th because its limited. Without limitation and with e60 complete intake and remail it will reach 280kmh

Finally someone who made a proper video of manual E38. I hope u wiil post more videos like this :)
lmao. why? because he speeds it up for you like your playing your games? wow!! grow up kid
My friend Tupac loved this model
Schönes Fahrzeug und schöne Kameraposition. Endlich mal jemand der es vernünftig aufnimmt!
Wonderful to see a video of a manual e38, as most seemed to have automatics. Really nice to see the driver put it it through its paces.
That is a seriously weaponised car. Magnificent bare-chested sound.
This is beautiful. I whip my 03 325i on 95 all the time but hittin the autobahn in Germany in a v8 bmw. Gotta love it.
This is one of the best car videos I have ever had the pleasure to come across!
From California….Germany is the best. Cars, roads, people ,chocolate cake. , and even the weather. Thanks for video..brought back pleasant memories …

i like how this german v8 rumble got that European touch to it.
Pretty steady. Nice video. Thanks for uploading.
I have never seen this video before. Thumbs up! Love the old bimmers. I own e60 530d but wanna back to e38/x5 1 gen. Great video😮
Thanks for the video. Great car!
What a wonderful car!!!
Even manual
Excellent!!!
this is the best filming angle
Great video. The vehicle, the drive and the ambience.
First manual 740 I've seen didn't know they even existed
These cars are becoming classic cars now here in uk and car prices are sky rocketed 🚀
Beautiful video bro it’s music to my ears

so cinematic, well done
Very fine 740i!
Very nice car, manual rocks👍!
Love the sound ❤
Relaxing video, thanks for sharing
My bro had that car while I had 540i. Loved both cars.
Bro the acceleration out of ur driveway was insane.
Manual V8 !!!!!!!!! Amazing !!!!

Beautiful car, beautiful scenery. Everything is so nice in this video.
Oh der klang ist toll *.* Da gibt's richtig Gänsehaut 😍🥰
Sieht sehr schnell aus schön weiter so

Perfekt
I'm not fan of BMW but I must admit they were used to make good cars some years ago!
Where you from, Alex? I’ll soon be owning and working on a E38 730i just thought of reaching out to stay in touch and nice ride by the way!
as soon as you started the engine I was like 'holy...sh...'
👏👍🤝SUPER!
Wish Australia got manuals.
Bam bam bam Autobahn!
In my opinion the best looking 7series body style.
What is that Speed
with the needle buried?
Looks close to 160mph?
Driving into the fog at best possible speed; seems like Kimi Räikkönen to me.
Wish have e38 manual in the US. The Best!

what a car
Amazing video, I just wished it was not sped up as much. Is that a 6 speed manual? and from which car is it? is that stock?
It's a M60 engine so obviously pre-facelift, which means the manual transmission is stock. Only with the introduction of the facelift you couldn't order anything else than automatic transmissions for the V8/V12 engines.
So near end of video 260 KPH or about 160 MPH. 750iL w/ 5HP30 should also be able to sustain 160 MPH with its automatic transmission.

Pretty nice dash, reminds me the models from the past! Where did you get it?
thats an instrument cluster not dash ^^
@@kushpaladin Thank you, sometimes I get confused with both words, as I've seen them being used for the same piece. 👀

@@TheMuston liegt daran dass ein V12 im Grunde aus zwei Reihensechszylindern besteht, welche schon eine gute Laufruhe haben

Lovely sound. I wonder what is the fuel consumption at those high speeds? When I drive my Passat TDi at 160 km/h it drinks diesel very fast!
His consumption is shown in the red center display
The needle that measures consumption is maxed out at 30 L per 100km on full throttle, could be a bit more in reality :))
@@cincoblankko You can actually see it in the digital display in the center, says 24.2l at the end of the video
I had a 2000 540i with the same interior color options, also manual, and with a rear muffler delete for years. This video feels like home. :)

I don’t mind my E38 being an automatic. I do wish my E39 5spd had that one extra gear that the 2.8 begs for at 80mph and 3k rpm.
That is why you do not buy an e39 with manual.. Too noisy.
@@andersnielsen6044 that comment is beyond stupid. 3,000 rpm from an inline 6 BMW engine at highway speeds is not noisy.
