    The way you explain how to treat an E38 is exactly how I park, close trunk, open hood. I knew that I was not weird, there are others like me in this world. I showed this to my wife and she said 'OMG another you'! I totally agree with everything you explained in your video. Thanks!

    You guys across the Pond need to understand that German cars from that era (yes, Mercedes included) have perfectly fine cup holders that have been engineered to hold a cup of 30ml (1 oz) espresso and nothing more.
    The idea behind it is that a driver, when driving, needs only 2 types of liquid - water for hydration (which the door pockets can comfortably fit a 500 ml. (17 oz) water bottle) and something to energize you, which in Europe is a shot of espresso by default - served in a small cup that fits perfectly in the cup holders.

    Such good advice. The 5 series wagon also has a motorized trunk lid. If your cup holder breaks and pops open, a nickel will hold it in the closed position. Another characteristic is that after ten years the seat belts will not recoil as strongly as they should. While you are fixing them, the B pillar fabric will come loose butcan be repaired using a plastic file from a finger nail kit without doing any damage. Just tuck it back into the rubber lip. If you drive fast, every four years, you will hear squeaking and chirping under the hood. It is the belt tensioner pulley. Change it immediately before it ceases. Also open the hood again and listen to the DISA VALVE. If it is noisy, replace it immediately. Under the hood should be dead quiet while the car is idle running, like mine!

    • @ARPerez

    All of those things apply to my e39 touring, most annoying thing for me is when someone slams my soft close trunk, and the cup holders....I truly believe that's some sort of bad joke from the German engineers, cause I know they are capable of doing things right.

    I actually use the cup holders front and back for things such as Starbucks and never had one spill. Great video, I had to take my entire family out and show them how to close the truck after I saw my wife slam it one day. One other thing I would add to stop doing to your e38 is Stop putting M Parallels on everyone of them. They all look the same and there are other options out there such as style 176 or style 92. Of all my cars my e38 remains my favourite. Going to check out the rest of your videos. Thanks for making them.

    The trunk lid should not just come down on its own weight even if gently guided down by a hand. That’s a good indication the struts have failed. You should be able to push the truck closed and if let go the lid should go back to fully open with properly working hydraulic struts. A good test is open the trunk fully and the with fingers start to close it. If it suddenly wants to slam shut there’s a problem. The soft close is just a nice feature to assist in matching the lid without having to forcefully engage it.

  • @pascalschutt3201

    Those little bump-stops on the trunk lid? If they break and don't spring anymore, even on one side, you will have soft-open issues where the trunk will open but since the spring did not push the truck deck up high enough the soft-close motor thinks it should close.

    One other thing you need to stop doing with your e38 : fake badging, It's not an m7 if you put an m badge on it, and it's not an alpina b12 if you put alpina badges and lip on it

    1. Hydraulic trunk do the 'slam' by itself.
    It was ment to slam.
    Never broke any of plastic parts what so ever.
    2. That lever which release hood 2nd lock? Also Meant to be used for handle. Engineered that way.
    Grip the grill? It'll break your grill......
    3. I never broke that seat plastic...whatever american guys call it
    Anyway... Never broke that and control panel inside of that. Mine was 242k miles.
    4. Good point but, service cost between comfort vs sport?? They are same.
