Here all the bad ones are scrapped or exported to Russia, Eastern Europe or Africa.. The few good ones are in collectors garages.. They are almost impossible to find. There is not 3 cars for sale on a hole year of the E38.
To keep an E38 in good condition is very very expensive. Cars are at least 22 years old. Lots of worn out and degeneration of suspensionparts. Lots of electronic issues ass well. I owned a 750iA for 10 years from new but it was a money pit.
@@andersnielsen6044 I own and daily drive my e38 here in the states. To say it is a money pit is an understatement. Mine is a 1997 with the m62TU. They still require new timing chains every 100k miles. water pumps and radiators every 60k miles. the engine block itself has never had any issues, but it requires new oil gaskets once every year or two. fuel pump goes out like clockwork every 40k miles. Because of its age, it takes near constant upkeep of the interior and exterior trim pieces. 3 of 4 exterior door handles have fallen off and needed replacement, all due to a tiny clip that secures it to the door. However I must say, it has 275,000 miles on its original transmission. Although the worst part is, due to the cars weight, it requires a suspension refresh almost annually. I replace the control arms every other year, which is normal according to the e38's maintenance book. During the last 6 months of this period, the car always develops the "55 mph shimmy" or harsh vibration at freeway speeds. Since its an old car, its inexpensive to insure. But I still end up spending $2,000-$4,000 a year on upkeep. Its also terrible on gas, average 16 mpg. Sometimes its worth it, sometimes not so much. I often contemplate getting a newer car, but i only consider this when i'm not driving it. When Im on the road, I never think about replacing it.

What’s with you and noisy BMW’s? You probably can’t afford one and have convinced yourself the reason you don’t have one is they’re too noisy. Go over to a Honda video and tell those guys with their popcorn mufflers how noisy their stupid cars are.
@@paperandmedals8316 Sweetheart.. I am a former Chief engineer at BMW M GmbH in München and before that I was a professional rally driver so I might not "hate" noisy and sporty cars.. But a luxury sedan like the e38 should NOT be used as a rally car. For your notice I do run a car trading company within I do trade +2000 cars every single year. I can assure you that I can afford the cars that I want to. ;)
Das Very Good 260 KMH = 160 MPH That's what i was Expecting Here Scottsdale-Phoenix Arizona years ago there was a lot nice clean E38 740I i used to work on a lot of them Thought be Cool to have one with Manual Trans was yours Converted from Auto to Manual or could you buy 740 w/Manual Trans in Germany i know you can E38 735i 6 Zyl Cheers Prost
In meiner Lehrzeit in den 90er haben wir Leasing Rückläufer mit einem 740i E38 abgeholt hintour mit 4 Mann an Board spitze 280Km/h die A1 Richtung Lübeck hochgedonnert. Mir war nicht wohl bei dem Tempo als Beifahrer...
I learnt how to drive in a manual E38, but with a modest 2.8 inline six. Great fun, though, and plenty powerful for a young lad with more testosteron than self-preservation instinct ;)
@@paperandmedals8316 A Merc E200 diesel with only 136 hp goes 200 km/h with 3000 rpm's.. That is what luxury cars are made for.. Not for impressing anyone with its noise :D
It's a M60 engine so obviously pre-facelift, which means the manual transmission is stock. Only with the introduction of the facelift you couldn't order anything else than automatic transmissions for the V8/V12 engines.
Wenn ich mir nochmal einen E38 holen sollte, dann einen mit M60 oder gleich den V12. Auf Facelift umzubauen ist ein Kindergarten im Vergleich zu den Arbeiten an Kette und Vanos 😅. Schönes Auto hast du da.
The fun fact is that it reach 240 on 5th gear ad just 250 on 6th because its limited. Without limitation and with e60 complete intake and remail it will reach 280kmh
Finally someone who made a proper video of manual E38. I hope u wiil post more videos like this :)
lmao. why? because he speeds it up for you like your playing your games? wow!! grow up kid
My friend Tupac loved this model
Schönes Fahrzeug und schöne Kameraposition. Endlich mal jemand der es vernünftig aufnimmt!
Wonderful to see a video of a manual e38, as most seemed to have automatics. Really nice to see the driver put it it through its paces.
This is beautiful. I whip my 03 325i on 95 all the time but hittin the autobahn in Germany in a v8 bmw. Gotta love it.
That is a seriously weaponised car. Magnificent bare-chested sound.
This is one of the best car videos I have ever had the pleasure to come across!
Manual 😿♥️
i like how this german v8 rumble got that European touch to it.
From California….Germany is the best. Cars, roads, people ,chocolate cake. , and even the weather. Thanks for video..brought back pleasant memories …
First manual 740 I've seen didn't know they even existed

That engine sound like its speaking a different language
Up to the highway I thought you never gonna rev it up, driving diesel-style all the way.
No he has some dumb aftermarket tacho and speedo.
Lovely sound. I wonder what is the fuel consumption at those high speeds? When I drive my Passat TDi at 160 km/h it drinks diesel very fast!
His consumption is shown in the red center display
The needle that measures consumption is maxed out at 30 L per 100km on full throttle, could be a bit more in reality :))
@@cincoblankko You can actually see it in the digital display in the center, says 24.2l at the end of the video
Don't forget to wait for the engine RPM to go down after a cold start

New 2023 bmw is very very ugly
So near end of video 260 KPH or about 160 MPH. 750iL w/ 5HP30 should also be able to sustain 160 MPH with its automatic transmission.

What a sound... real car.

What is that Speed
with the needle buried?
Looks close to 160mph?
I have never seen this video before. Thumbs up! Love the old bimmers. I own e60 530d but wanna back to e38/x5 1 gen. Great video😮
Perfect from lraq

What a car 💔💔
that's a funny lookin' Autobahn there Fritz. looks more like a foggy, narrow back road. thumbs down.....
Compare the “V8” BMW use today.. This is awesome, but the new ones sounds like shit🙆🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Непонятно. Как будто с перебоями работает двигатель. С 8ми цилиндров 2 барахлят как будто
noisy
Beautiful car! Whats up with the gauges though? Looks like you stole the faces and needles from a Jaguar! Haha
Wonderful video, but the artificial speed up/down from editing makes my OCD cringe.
Imagine having a luxury car and then it is more noisy than your neighbors 18 year old sons Honda Civic VTEC from 95..

Wish Australia got manuals.
The sane used by Frank Martin ( Jason Statham ) in movie The Transporter 1 ?
once my dream car. now I own a newer version. I don't envy fast cars any more. more than enough. too fast.
as soon as you started the engine I was like 'holy...sh...'
I'm not fan of BMW but I must admit they were used to make good cars some years ago!
I don’t mind my E38 being an automatic. I do wish my E39 5spd had that one extra gear that the 2.8 begs for at 80mph and 3k rpm.
That is why you do not buy an e39 with manual.. Too noisy.
@@andersnielsen6044 that comment is beyond stupid. 3,000 rpm from an inline 6 BMW engine at highway speeds is not noisy.

Amazing video, I just wished it was not sped up as much. Is that a 6 speed manual? and from which car is it? is that stock?
