Completely transforming this 500 000 km daily driven BMW E38
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2023
- This was one tough cookie, but I enjoyed whole process of it, I love E38s, and I really love the Orientblau metallic color, and this example with styling 37 wheels is just still looking fresh as ever. It is a daily driven car, that had many different panels painted over the years, interestingly enough, the paint shade is spot on on every single panel.. I spent many hours bringing back this car to life, and to be honest even I was surprised how it turned out at the end, the transformation was massive. Of course it could go even further, but that was not the point of this detailing session, 90-95% of defects were removed, leather and everything else was cleaned up, everything was coated, so now its ready for the owner to take it to more building sites :-D
Hope you enjoy this one, and if you do, please consider subscribing, or leaving a like and comment :-) thank you!

E38 probably the best car ive ever had. 713k kilometers when i sold it. M57 engine lives long if you maintain it.
100% agreed! 713k kilometers tho! wow :-D
Wow, the are a fantastic engine to be fair. We didn’t get the E38 in a diesel variant in the UK market. I’ve heard of a 740d which was a V8 diesel I think ?… could be wrong… the 6 pot would be more reliable im sure! M57 is bullet proof.
Over 15 yrs ago I've had a '01 735i Orientblau Metallic (317) with cream leather interior, same rims, same seats, just a 3 spoke steering wheel. So far one of the best cars ever. Never let me down 💪
Well done! You did a great job on this beauty 🤗
thank you
wow, with cream leather and the contour seats that had to be the beez kneez :-O
Crazy mileage on this 730d! Great restoration work! Well done. Best 7 series ever made, absolutely love the E38 😊
I would agree on that myself! :-D
If that 500k is genuine and she's been well maintained for the past over 20 yrs it's just a warm up for this beauty 👌
yes, those are very genuine :-)
Amazing work, and honestly made me really miss my old E38 740il... loved that car and would always clean it... not to this level but it was my real pride and joy
thank you :-) I bet! e38 is pretty much the best 7 series ever made
I remember my father had a E38 730d when I was young. We went from the Netherlands to Austria with this car every year, such a comfortable ride.
I have an Orientblau E39 540i, beautiful color and fabulous car.
i would love to get hands on one of those, especially touring :-O
Great car and man you are a legend. I was really entertained by your detailed work. Good job. Greetings from Germany 🎉🎉🎉
ah thank you you are very kind :-)
mesmerizing to watch. I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers.
Perfect car, perfect job
Exquisite work!! I am truly speechless!!
thank you!
Great video! Excellent car work.
Thank you! 👍
Fantastic job!

Very satisfying Video-this car was driving around Theo world 12 times 😊
Good Job for this Beauty
Thanks! 🙂
Beautiful work.
thank you!
wow amazing work
thank you very much!
Wow amazing video!!! Great work!
thank you! :-)
If there's little to no rust and the engine's sound, a decent detailing is always worth the effort.
it certainly is!
Years ago I had a 1998 328iA Convertible in Orient Blue with blue hood and tan leather; looked gorgeous!
droolworthy combo :-)
Stunning transformation 👍👌😎 e38 💙
thank you very much! :-)
Most handsome 7series.
Nice work!
thank you very much! :-)
Great car and really great video
thank you very much :-)
nice shots
Thanks!
This car was well looked after. Look at the wheels they are like 20~30k km no more prior last detailing.
well, wheels are fairly new addition to the car as far as i remember :-) but yes, car is very well kept up
I have a 1999 735i Orientblau with original 16in rims of the same models than a 750i. 240K km drives very smoothly. Everything is original. I love it.
congrats! :-) i have my 1999 735i, with 230k km and restoring it :-D but i love the car too
You Wach your BMW E38 Car Nice Keep it up
thank you!
You did an amazing job 🤩, this beauty looks like new 😍👍🏻.
Maybe the best BMW Models ever made (e38 and e39).
Especially compared to nowadays 😬.
Thank you very much! :-)
i love new bmw's tho :-D my m340 is pretty much perfect.. but i also love the old generations, and the peak for bmw really was in E38, E39 :-)
У меня такая же 730D , но 2001 года и это правда произведение искусства!!! Цвет прям отдельное наслаждение
Nice video!!! I love high mileage cars!~
thanks, me too, for detailing that makes for great before/after :-)
@@TheFuxxoWorksGarageI just seen your subscribers and views. Due to the video quality I thought you are well known. Well you just earned a sub!
oh seriously? thank you very much kind sir :-) maybe one day the channel will be a bit more well known :-)
hodně dobrý! 👌
diki moc!
god damn nice ❤
thank you :-)
Only bmw 💪 very nice
Good old cars made in high quality
100% agreed!
For those rubber stains on the wheels, use a drill attachement for removing weight glue,
yeah, since i shot the video i finally got that rubber drill attachment :-) thanks!
Super!👍🏾
How did you exactly fix the rock chips on the paint? What tool is that what you used? Thx.
Awesome work and still great car!
thanks! no special tool, just a paint touchup pen :-) the one for this car i was able to get with the syringe type tip, and it works great, i recommend it highly
How long should I wait before polishing the touched up section?
depends on the paint, but usually in few hours you can go over it no worries. its a very small spot, so it dries quick
sorry for late reply, i missed this comment
Great job!!!!! 👍 👍👍👍👍
thank you :-)
Oh it's a pleasure...one day I buy a e38 and visit you to make it the same 😉👍
absolutely any time! :-D
Where are you from?

Ahoj, super práce. Chtěl bych se zeptat, jaký prostředek jsi použil na venkovní plasty (plastová lišta na př. nárazníku a vnější prostřední sloupky). Děkuji
Nazdar, diki moc
za tie roky som skusal vselico mozne, a nikdy nic nevydrzalo, ale posledne roky odkedy som to raz vyskusal, tak na plasty davam iba keramiku.. idealne ale nie tu co davas na lak, ta je urcena na farbu, ale na plasty davam Carpro Cquartz Lite a vydrzi to tam dlhsie jak na laku :-D
ale pred x rokmi som vyskusal na mojej byvalej E34 nejaku cinsku keramiku z aliexpresu a ta fungovala tiez..
Peak BMW. Not the junk they are currently churning out.
I would have to say i do really love and enjoy my new junk bmw too :-D
Did you ever change the transmission oil? And what is the oil engine for those e38 90s model?
this is not my car, i only did the detailing :-) but i believe the transmission oil would have to be changed multiple times over years. but i changed oil in my gearbox in my e38, i used only original ZF parts including oil, check it out here:

Awesome result...😎 🙏🏼
How safe is cleaning the engine bay with steam?? 🤔
I myself have thought about how to properly clean my hobby car from there, but I haven't dared because I'm afraid of what it will do to the electrical equipment.
Thank you! :-)
that is exactly the reason why i use steam cleaning machine, it is very safe and very effective. Engines inherently should be waterproof, however i was always afraid to just hose down or pressure wash the engine because of electric shorts, etc. I saw few time that went very south :-D
@@TheFuxxoWorksGarage Ok, good to hear, thank you...
I have a steam cleaner at home, so I'll have to try and see what kind of result I get...😃
you should, its really easy and effective.. and if some dirt doesnt go away, just use any all purpose cleaner in combination with steam, it will be like new :-)
@@TheFuxxoWorksGarage I'll have to try it when the weather warms up a bit...😃
Hey from Ukraine
E38 is a legend
hello! it sure is! :-)
The glory days of bmw. That color is absolutely gorgeous. And that leather 😭 I miss those days of supple real leather. I’m scared to even sit in my 2018 540 cause I don’t want to wrinkle up the leather.
4:29 your second big gun, is that blue thing a plastic brush? Thx
second? nope, that is liquid elements A1000 mini detailing machine and rupes polishing pad :-)
M57❤️
What doen the most left paddle operate? Engine lid or hand brake?
the pedal is for handbrake on these :-) and there is a pulley under the light switch for releasing the handbrake
Please list cleaning products . Bout to do same thing to same car🙏🙏
sorry, but that would be pretty extensive :-D I use mostly carpro products, for polishing i use scholl s2 black paste with ninja pads, and for protection capro cquartz sic ceramic coating + carpro reload on top.
You made it look like it just came out of the factory
thank you, i tried :-)
Such a pretty car. It's a 730d ?
yes it is :-)
How much do you charge for something like this? And do you ever come to the US?
it is very independent, every car is different, depends on how bad the paint is, what should the end result be, if i am doing the interior, if the wheels are going off the car, if i am doing the enginebay, the wheel wells, if it gets ceramic coating, etc.
i have to shamefuly say i have never been to US :-( yet! :-D
@@TheFuxxoWorksGarage Fair enough, thank you for the reply! You do great work and are very thorough. Can you tell me what the little steam pressure washer tool you have/use is? Looks like a great tool to have!
thank you :-) I also do this as a hobby too, not my actual job, but i love cars, and enjoy the transformations
the steam cleaner is this little devil:

best tool for the money, 100%
@@TheFuxxoWorksGarage I hear you, I love cars too. I have a 2001 740i that I just cleaned up the subframe on a bit, thanks to your video. Thank you for the info sir, I appreciate your time!
oh wow, glad to help! :-)
It looks stunning! To me it seems it is well cared for even before the detail, despite its age and high mileage the owner has bought Michelins, not some pos cheap chinese tyres... This is what a 7-series should look like, the successor to this (Bangle butt) was terrible, not even mentioning the current 7...!
oh yea! since it is daily driven it is very well kept up, and it had lot of money invested over the years (exactly, the michelins i noticed when the car came first time too! :-D)
agreed on the bangle one also :puke:

I have also one e38 1994 740il at 500.000km and it runs very good😍 bmw is more than love… maybe p*rn 😂
:-D you might be right
With original timing chain guides ? haha
@@LaPatateDeTerre I dont think so. Sure renewd
And Sls suspension?
E38 is a real 7 series
How much would this paint job cost me in South Africa?
I have no idea :-D
@@TheFuxxoWorksGarage how much does it cost where you are
it varies a lot, from 500€ up to 2000€ i guess..
Wow. But what does it look like under the car? Wow at the top, yuck at the bottom?
well, it really is a daily driver this car, so the suspension is refurbished and the underside was protected..
Nice. I would have liked to have seen the complete car in the daylight rather than only close ups. 33:45 roll it into the daylight.
thank. I need to finish the driveway there, because if i rolled in the sun the wheels would get dirty at that point coz it rained before :-D but i understand what you're saying :-)
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
in eastern europe 130k km tops
:-D :-D :-D very true
What steamer
its karcher SC3
Proper BMWs of old …
crossover with M539 restorations
i wish :-D sreten is the best
On a pas vu le compteur......
you should watch the video again then :-) (34:24)
Your work is excellent, but BMW's old quality is indisputable..
cannot agree more :-)
i feel guilty mine is minging outside ,
dont worry, this one is still being daily driven and minging outside too :-D
😄
:-O
All that work and still old messed up number plates. What a shame.
yea :-( unfortunately in my country it is absolutely dumb, you cant just go in the shop and buy new plates like in uk.. you would have to go to the DMV and say that your plates got stolen or something and you would have to pay 100€ per plate..
noticed car had been repainted in some places. lousy job
yep, it was multiple panels at different times.. but it is not a showcar, its a daily driver and it has no rust :-)
Next time make a video in pure darkness.
Overrated car. Good driving machine when new, but degenerate very fast especially electronic items.
not really true, but okay :-)
@@TheFuxxoWorksGarage
I owned a 1999 750iA Individual 10 years. I drove most of the time alone, very light use also due to speed limits here, but too many things broke and maintanance and repairs were extreme expensive. I had a 1990 Mercedes 560SEL and in 5 years just regular maintanance and no repairs whatsoever.
@@gbpegasus46 good for you 😀i agree tho, the E38 is getting in the pockets when daily driven.. i am restoring mine, and it will be a garage queen only.
@@gbpegasus46it was so unreliable you decided to keep it 10 years…
@@VANITY80 yes. Because of the depreciation. The first years the car was ok, although the dealership couldnt fix the climatecontrol in good working order, but after 120.000kms lots of issues came up. I owned several cars then and the only reason to keep the car was the12 cylinder engine.
outbid
outbid on what? :-O
