The e38 is one of the most elegant automobiles ever made. I've always loved the lines, so much so that I finally bought one 16 years after production ended. A touch of heaven now occupies a spot in my stable. ; - )
You see, 80s and 90s had that "tactile" feeling, things are thick to touch and to hear, and this videos is the perfect example..rich and slightly blurred footage, a rich commentary voice with a deep tone...just great, we'll never have those times back so I'm happy to have lived them (and luckily without all this modern technology that has fucked up society, relations and human interactions)
This legendary car was way ahead of the Mercedes W140 in terms of luxury, comfort, quality and technological advancements. It was the first car in the world to feature Side curtain airbags, Side airbags, a GPS navigation system, onboard computer and a television.
@Ike N I am first of all talking about a standard tv installed in the front of the car along with onboard GPS navigation, DSP sound and onboard computer. I know that some E32 Highlines came with TV in the back...
Beautiful. The best 7 series, hands down; sadly, it was downhill afterwards for this model. If Bond had to drive a sedan, which he did in one movie, this is it!
W140 S-Class was more advanced with dual pane windows and other features. The E38 BMW 7-Series was a better drivers car though. Mercedes-Benz always has the latest and greatest technology.
@@gedaman Not true. The E38 was way ahead of its time with GPS satellite navigation, onboard computer and television among many other features introduced as firsts in the automotive world. BMW is the best in terms of technology and luxury.
Madhana Ekanayake Both BMW and Mercedes-Benz bring out the best new technologies first. Sometimes one of them has technology the others don’t like gesture controls and remote parking (on the current generation 7-Series) or HVAC perfume system and heated armrests (W222 S-Class had it first then BMW copied the perfume system for their new 7-Series). The Mercedes-Benz S-Class and BMW 7-Series are two of the finest cars in the world.

I never knew what I missed from my fourth hand 740i bimmer '97 model until I watched the videos pertaining to this legendary icon,which I bought last year August. Now that I know what the authentic muscle looks like,I know that am only owning half the car it used to be.Nevertheless am greatful for it but can't help wishing I had a hundred and fifty thousand rands to restore or buy another good one with all the bells and the whistles in original tune..so I can taste and enjoy the real thing just before I die.. For me this is the g"reatest ever" to live and die for Germany you out did yourself..I stand in ovation a million times
While it uses European footage (e.g. the number plates shown, and the user enters a Munich address in the GPS) it was finished for the Australian market (English voiceover and you'll notice the occasional Aussie caption (e.g. rear side airbags standard in Australia). The VHS tape came with my 1999 (late 1998 build) 740iL when I bought it second hand (I'm from Sydney).

Classiest most elegant car ever made. You would still look great and turn heads driving one today 25 years later!
The great thing about these cars is that they are almost universally loved and appreciated

well said.
Nevertheless, it is certainly one of the best cars in the world, even 20 years later...
I bought my 740i 2 weeks ago 🎉🚘🥰
Franco Patorniti gratulation!
How is it treating you
waayyyy ahead of its time
Best 7 series ever made, simple as that!!
In my candid opinion, this is the best 7 series ever built. The built quality is top notch and second to none.
No one needs to tell me why I've always loved BMW😍

@Ike N BMW was the first to offer side curtain airbags in 1996, not MB. BMW was the first to offer side air bags in 1995, way before MB...
Mazda offered it only to the Japanese market, whereas BMW offered around the world...
Mercedes' CNS was only available in Japan and that was around the same time as 1994.
However, BMW' was far more advanced...
I have a 2001 BMW740i.....and I love it.
Allen Donaldson good choice

Ravi Sriram bond might have not driven it, however our dear friend more bad ass jason statham did in the transporter haha

Best car ever made....
More information on the 12 rockets that are available in the sunroof can be found in the owner's manual.
sirbevo I live near Washington DC , and with the traffic around here, that option would be well worth any price!!!
That time when the flagship BMW was way ahead of the W140 S-Class being sold at the same time.

Haha when you call timeless an object in it's own time, and 25 years later turns out it was no mistake.

I wonder which market this VHS was targeted for
Australia? I have not seen in the UK...

Thanks for the information. I have yet to find a UK version VHS tape for the E38 model. Maybe there wasn't one...
Anyway, cool stuff...@@GodspeedGTR
