I am glad you did not sell it and I am excited to see more content 😉
I been there about 3 months ago when my original guides failed completely. I rolled up my sleeves and did it myself because labor cost more then the parts I bought. 2500 miles and 3 months later she's treated me well, except now ABS module is starting to give me a fit when its really hot outside, but for 24 years old beauty that's been ran into the ground by previous owner I cannot complain.
i did it myself too . And rebulid the vanos units with new gaskets. With the help of 2 friends many beer and pizza . Love this car
Really enjoyed your video !. Ive owned two 740s. The first just died of
old age, but the second had exactly the same issue. Got it fixed, and
went on to do another 30K. The e38 in my opinion, was one of the greatest
cars ever built !!. Love your channel. Hope you and your family stay safe !. 👍
U DA MAN!!! Dude you are funny+charismatic+genuine.....You make owning the 740 an additional joy. Well done. I have a 2001 740il and I just got it back from having the timing chain guides replaced. Whew!!
That is so nice thank you so much man! Highly appreciated 🙏🏽

Grate video
I have a 1998 and I found out about the timing guide tensioner by this older European mechanic on RUclips name Tim
I wish I would have told you about it last time I watch your channel on valve cover replacement sorry
I’m glad you got it fix and letting all of us E38 owners to be aware thanks
Blessings
It's all good, things happen and you can't be mad about it, just deal with it and move on :)
Great video. Excited to see more POVs driving with the new smooth e38 chains
Fantastic, you got it going again! It's like a good woman that ticks all the boxes however, she likes fine dinners now and then. That dinner was in Bel Air this time😀. I love my 740 and those big dinners are few and far apart. Your video are really entertaining and helpful. Keep them coming when you can?
She wanted a facial, massage, expensive dinner, stay at a top floor suite and cuddling.. all at once 😂
Greetings from the UK! Love your channel, love your content, you have a great energy bro 👊🏼
As a fellow E38 owner, I’ve followed your journey with the car for a while now, and am delighted that you are keeping her running as Bavaria intended:)
Keep up the great work, I always look forward to each new video you post 👍🏼
awww man thank you so much and much love to you across the pond! There will be more videos coming soon, my life has become a very busy endeavor, but all good things!
Hey my friend , nice update. Luckily we know life is too short to worry about the incidentals ! Glad your priorities are and I suspect always will be FAMILY. Sunny day in the UK just about to make a list for my new acquisition an old E65 putting too many miles on the E38 (200k+) lol Love to all Andrew
Oh no! E65? are you up for dealing with all the issues on that chassis? I wish you the best my friend and hope it is a reliable daily
Saw a couple of your videos on E38 and they are amazing and informative. I’m about to own/enjoy (I hope it will be kind to my pocket). Hope to be in touch too! Greetings from Malaysia
My E-38!could give great content when your ready V-12
The same thing happened to me bro... It really broke my heart. I'm taking it upon myself to fix it
Thanks for the update on that great BMW and best wishes to you and your family!
Appreciate the kinds words, thanks for the good energy!
Been waiting so long for this vid
Glad to see it back on the road, looking forward to seeing your next one with the rotor install.
yessir, been super busy but I will have the video soon! How's your E38 coming along? I would love to check it out
@ARPerez been busy with work and family I haven't had much time to work on it. You know how it goes. I have a few mechanical things I need to get sorted then I can tackle the paint correction
Inspiring bro!
oh man thank you so much! I appreciate the support!
I did the expansion tank and brake up grade on my 01 il. It is well worth it.
Aww man glad to hear it’s going good 👍🏽 my tanks cap took a crap on me, wouldn’t hold pressure really wacky placement in my opinion.
Love the content ❤❤ let’s hear that’s 4.4L 😊
agree with you, just a weird design in general
Love those videos, it’s always so nice and relaxing watching your videos. I hope everything goes well. These cars do eat some money up but once you fix them up they are amazing
Yep, I agree, you gotta pay to play with these cars
Just found your channel. I love the E38 and I'm an owner of an E46. Good to know you mate 😁✌️
Thanks brother! Keep it tuned right here!
Nice bro. Keep up the good works!!!
Thank you bro!
Never ever sell an E38... 😊 It's one of the greatest cars ever and there is no replacement for it.
The cooling system is also a bit of a weakness. A bit too much pressure on it and therefore many times the main cooler also ruptures.
😂
Great video and love the video format and presenter style. Very articulate and humble (IMHO from a 62 yearly with 1999 E38 here in Australia). May I please ask the tyre sizes you are running on your 18inch M-par wheels? Are they staggered?
Thank you for the support and kindness! Tyres are staggered and tires are 245/50/18 front and 275/45/18 rear
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey man,
Great update!
When was your last coolant flush?
I have a 97 740il (m62b44) in SD and my waterpump failed a month ago. While I replaced the waterpump, I did all the coolant lines, expansion tank and upgraded 105 degree thermostat to a 85 degree thermostat and I have been sleeping with much less worries since.
Thank you!
Last coolant flush was when I bought it, 2 years ago
For connoisseurs of the BMW e38, the Hofmaster bend seal, a set of 2 pcs, the originality of the car will be.
tell me more about this seal...
I have an e38 also I was wondering how many miles yours has? Hopefully my timing chains don’t go out…
the expansion tank should be an easy fix.
Super easy
Who's your mechanic and where's he located? I need to get my 96' 740il done.... I'm here in LA!😩

Ask for Ian
The older M60's are sooo muchhh better... actually have a sprocket. Only check the oilpump nuts loctite em and good to go.
What years Are we talking about?
I believe M60s ran from 1995 to 1999, someone check me on that
Whats up man I have a 2001 e38 bmw 740il and it has a valve cover gasket leak. Its pretty minor at the moment and I have about 155K on the dash should I replace it sooner than later?
I got mine fixed last fall but pretty sure they re leaking again. If you want your car to last a long time then yes. But also it’s not the worst that can happen. And better ask on FB or forums than here
You can replace it anytime and it will def need to be done again in the future, it's part of the BMW V8's charm. It doesn't matter really when you do it, but you will have to top off oil every now and then until you fix it and it will eventually make a mess of your undercarriage.
Bud didn’t you change the tensioner?
Watch the video again, this is ANOTHER tensioner, one you can't get to unless you take apart the front of the engine.
What kind of rotors did you get? Powerstops?
Nope, they are a smaller brand, wanted to give a local small company a shot, I will talk more about it in my next video
