The automatic lights on e39 (plus other models)were introduced in the 02 model year car. E38s ceased production in 01. That's why they never got auto lights, just only auto wipers.. They can be retrofitted. I did retro fit them in mine. Not 100% functional but I'd say 90%. Need a bit more programming to do. Great videos and gorgeous car my friend keep them coming!
@@AlexandrosAlexidis that’s interesting… Still weird they didn’t bring them out for the face lift 7 given the tech was around. Appreciate it bro thank you!
I recently sold my 93 E31 CSi and that bong of death triggered some ptsd in me I have to say. 90s BMW's are great, charismatic machines with incredible engineering and design, but when they go wrong, they GO WRONG...
Wondering it bothers me about my E 38 is the fact that the stereo system is I say crappy the fact that they were still using paper cone speakers is horrible and the sound settings are horrible on an $85,000 vehicle back in the day
@@KevinUrban-u1z I wouldn’t say “Free” - They have held their value & gone up a bit. Mine is a 2001, and a 2011 is going for the same price. Build quality of the late 90s/Early 2000s BMWs is far better than the new ones. If I wasn’t a car guy, I would have got a Corolla but here I am 😂
What' i hate about minds that shit' still sitting it's a 740il 2001 model i got it 2008 i have put over $12,000 in to that German shit and can't never win with that shit never buy another German car again 😂
Those Germans didn't make as many Timies runs as we do I guess 🤣🤣 nah I'm playing, great video homie! 🥒

Strange, I had a e39 523i from 1998 with auto headlights. My e38 735i doesnt btw.

NO eating / drinking allowed in the E38, just drive ( 01/iL owner)
@@rjkulman8990 hahaha. So cupholders are useless eh?
@@GrayHuska useless, also prone to break
These cupholders not hard to fix at all, a little bit of patience basic scales and can be done

@@axjason I agree 100% - I have the DSP system. I’m getting the BAV upgraded speakers in the spring.
Beautiful car. Huge money pit. Thats why you can get them for practically free.

U can't blame Chinese LED taillights with cheap error canceling models for the check tail lights.
@@OwenLutz123 “Common problem” ? 😉
@GrayHuska yup my eagle eye e46 tail lights did the same after 2 years. And so did some canbus led bulbs on the e39

It’s your third brake light…
I’ll double check, but I got my friend to check my lights when I activated all of them & nothing was wrong.
@ I have daily’d a e38 for 13 years. It’s always the third brake light
@ I’ll definitely look into it, thank you!
