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!
I laughed when you opened the hood by grabbing the grill. If I did that my cheap loose after market grills would pop right out. You need to lift the hood latch and then lift the hood from beneath the grills (grab metal). Great video and nice car.
..bad idea to try lift the hood by the grill area guys !!.. why not try lifting the hood at end of it's front left side instead , right after you pop the front plastic release lever
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.
Im getting aftermarket cupholders that replace the center ashtray, they also sell a replacement for the rear seat one if that one breaks. Kinda cool to see the aftermarket come out with fixes for this stuff. 3d printers help these little items to also be possible
I did all of these without anybody telling me :) Even my gf understands. I am just in love with my e39. However, I learned something new - that thing with parking with automatic transmission :) Those cupholders are actually far better built than those in e39. I do not use them or if I do I only have a small coffee in them :D And I like your passion for how you explain things. Keep going :)
i closed the trunk like you did for some months but with new dampers for the trunk you can just drop it and it will fall gently and use the soft close.
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.
I was checking out your video and I think its funny and I like it. I have the same one 2001 black gray interior. Im in the middle of getting timing chains done. Love this thing bro
have also seen trunk/hood abuse, the BMW 800 number wasnt available for calling it in. Cupholders are for show only....if they still open/close, you're very lucky...NO drinks for you !!
You don't think he lets people get in his car eating food with a drink or sweets this is a very passionate owner....BMW first,,, peasants like us second. :-)
You forgot to mention that you don't need to turn the key in starting position to continue cranking starter. You need just flick it. And the computer will stop the starter on his own
Great video, fun to watch 100% on point. I just replaced the rotten front seat bolster on mine. Much better now. The transmission thing, I thought it was only me who used the parking brake like that.
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.
@@ARPerez haha yes they are and if I could find some cheap I would put them on mine for a while. I like them but so cool to see an e38 with something other than those.
M-parallels with the deep offset and staggered are truly gorgeous, they look so much bigger than 18 inch when on the car! However Ive seen E38’s with other wheels and if the offset is deep they look great too. I have M parallels on mine all 4 are 18x9 (technically 4 rears).
Definitely don’t use factory Cup holder for a E38, however there’s a guy on eBay that makes a sturdy cup holder that you insert into the non used compartment just in front of the armrest, I bought one and you get it color matched to wood trim and it really looks great and works perfect.
@@ARPerez yeah! I agree absolutely no food in the car. I am however guilty of a hot coffee on a cold day, but super cautious that I don’t spill, knock on wood.
Hi Bro. You just gained another subscriber. The reason I am calling you bro is because I share the same passion for the best BMW 7 series ever made, the E38. I have almost identical Titansilber E38 740i with ACC which I have been restoring for a while. I love the way you have edited the video and your sense of humor. Looking forward to more content. By the way I have loads of content from my work as well. 🤝
@@ARPerez Thanks. I have to say you have great sense of humor and you are very artistic. Keep up the good work and let's assemble the world's E38 army to save and preserve these beautiful cars as they are becoming more and more rare.
Every time I close the trunk on my seventh, I remember your advice and basically just put the trunk lid down and gently press it down. Cheers fro Czech rep.
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.
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.
Yeah it happened on the first e38 I owned, if you move the connectors around you should be able to get it to work. There's a DIY on how to fix it on e39 source.
AR Perez thanks for the advice... also my on board monitor/radio doesn’t work, the screen doesn’t turn on and also the speakers don’t emit any noise... do you know what could be wrong, cause literally it doesn’t work
I wanted to know does anyone know best website for used parts online that has E38 740d V8 parts, because ive looked everywhere and couldnt fine any , i didnt know that they are rare😅
@@ARPerez I wish you would put more content like this , and by the way i have a good idea for you, try making a video like 5 things i like/dislike about my e38.
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!
You my friend are a grizzled veteran I see. Good to have your expertise in the comments. Everything you said is spot on, but the M62TU does not have a disa valve.
first time watching this video on this channel, I just found my self subscribing, enjoyed it so much, and looking forward to seeing even more, cheers man
This video made my day, I have both (A) long and a short 740i 2001 e38. I have been telling my girlfriend not to do all these things; but she will not listen. So I had to show her your video so she knows that someone else hates when these things are done to the car.
I should tell my dad about the parking brake before putting it in park. Sure, he sometimes does it but he probably did it only like 5 times in the 3 years of ownership. He had to replace the transmission once already but he doesn't stand on hills so it's not too bad. Thanks for the tips!
Is it okay that I didn’t put the parking break on a few times cus I thought the same thing but my parking break barely works on my 01, it hurts my soul when I hear the clunk of the transmission when I’m parked up hill but you think my transmission should be fine for the handful of times it’s happened, I’m more mindful now where I park I won’t park up a hill even if I have to go somewhere on a hill
Yeah there is a connector next to the seat controls that also controls the column adjust, sometimes it’s just making a short, take the seat panel off and see if you can find something disconnected
You still shouldn’t have to pull the seat, search on google, there is a connector that usually comes loose and causes that issue, I forget where it is exactly
When you lift the hood with the grille, you actually end up breaking the grille (ask me how I know). You have to pick the thing from the bottom. Nice video though, couldn't agree more with the cupholders
maybe you live near the equator, but about the parking brake thing, I can't agree with you. Maybe you never had your parking brake frozen / stuck, but it's rather usual in cold climates
You are speaking out of my soul, hats off :) Try to explain the mechanics to handle your cars appropriately here in Germany. I just picked up my E46 in collectors condition from official BMW garage and they basically raped the car´s seats and interior components which have not seen any scratch for 23 years...
@@ARPerez Well, they messed up the leather by not putting some protection material on the seats, like it is usual in official BMW or any other official garage in the UK or USA. But I also witnessed other things as you mentioned, like the inappropriate sitting in the car, smashing the hood and doors.
@@ARPerez By the way, I am considering buying a 728i. There are a few typical issues like pixel error, hanging headliner and of course rust. But what are technical issues to watch out for considering engine and transmission? Could you tell me some important things to be careful with the 2.8 litre engine?
Hey man I have a 2000 740I. Having an issue with electrical. My head lights stay on as well as my back tail lights even when I turn the car off. And my signals will not work periodically. Curious if you have encountered that before.
Also, NEVER use the map pockets on the back of the seats. The hinges will shatter even if you look at them too long
confirmed.
I am also a victim
E38 is simply a legend himself⚔️
💯
Agree with most of these except lifting the bonnet/hood by the grills, which are as fragile as the cupholder. Lift by the metal above the headlight

There’s nothing wrong with us, it’s others I don’t trust around my car 😎
Exactly, and don't jump start the car by the battery in the trunk. Do it with the terminals in the hood.
@@ARPerez You got that right!!
I laughed when you opened the hood by grabbing the grill. If I did that my cheap loose after market grills would pop right out. You need to lift the hood latch and then lift the hood from beneath the grills (grab metal). Great video and nice car.
Buy OEM!! All aftermarket grills are 💩
..bad idea to try lift the hood by the grill area guys !!.. why not try lifting the hood at end of it's front left side instead , right after you pop the front plastic release lever
lol Absolutely correct. I Broke my old OEM Kidney grill by doing the same thing.
The supports for the grille on the E38 are super weak, best not to touch them at all.
