Love an e38! Definitely coilovers, m parallels, fully black interior, and an alpina lip. Then start a trade up series, that would be good to see
go full VIP on the e38, slammed with some shiny rims 👌 would look sick , keep up the car content love it
With a banging straight through.

This!
hell no
Cringe
Love the idea of a trade up series, ending with a dream car
1000000%
I agree
trade up to an e36 😍
Lovely looking E38! One thing, to read all the codes from every ECU in these older BMWs you need to use the round connector in the engine bay, it requires an adapter but will read out a shitload more ECUs and properly read the engine and transmission ones.
if I remember correctly all the facelift models of the e38 had obd connectors instead of the 20pin and it's behind a little cover that pops out by the cup holder
Yes please do the trading up series! Clean this up, move it on and repeat! Awesomeness ❤️
Straight pipe and Coilovers/bags, ssr minervas, window curtains, head rest cushions, vip tray tables, splitter, quick detail and job done👍🏻
You need to keep this car!!! Would be so good alongside your other two bmw’s, we need a video on Andy’s t sport too even if it’s a pov drive
Alpina front splitter is the most common one but AC Schnitzer also make splitters. I would drop it on a set of ultra low BC coilovers (they make a set for these) and put some fake splits on it like a Dare wheel. do a budget bling build. sort the paint. get it machine polished. tints all round ... and then turbo it or fit a supercharger
me every time a friend is looking at getting a new car
M-parallels, tidy up the front end suspension (control arm bushings, tie rod ends, end links), new rubber and DRIVE IT. I have had all manner of cars and it is one of my favourites.
E38's are so nice been wanting one for a while! As much as I like E38's the trade up series sounds so cool and a lot of fun!
get it slammed mate and go full vip spec, it would look sick with that interior as well , the two tone is class
Lower it a bit, put a lip on it with a set of Style 37's. Fettle with the exhaust and enjoy it. Always attention worthy cars when clean!
Put an alpina kit on it would look amazing if they actually make parts for 7 series beamers
It’s nice to see it’s not been ruined with an lpg conversion
I'm not sure how true this is but I've heard the 4.4 V8 is actually more like 305bhp, as they developed it in the 90s (they just claimed the same as the old 4.0 as to make the upcoming M5 in 2000 look better and more powerful), over 100hp extra on the M5 looks better than like 95 extra 👍
Just brought a 740i sport on Sunday . You boiz need to source the 3.15 diff makes a huge difference to the acceleration at the low end. You know for when you kick down around a corner for some fun
A set of M-Parallels, front lip spoiler, nice exhaust and a polish then it'd look sick. There's a set of M-Parallels on ebay for £200 right now...
The buying and selling sounds like an awesome idea and you can give us lot a list of what not to do LOL
Get it sent on some prosports, no preload on springs, cut cats out, alpina lip, m paras and Quaker oat fitment on the rear, jobs a carrot
Coilovers, cat back, fix the paint/panels, nice front lip, black grills!! Clean sleeper
If you were gonna keep it I'd say restomod GT daily. Mid exhaust, nothing too crazy, and upgrade the tech to current standards, and then just clean and tart it up a bit. However, that 'flip cars and trade up' sounds sick so definitely do that. Even just flipping cheap cars for profit would be fun to see, just for the variety. Could TopGear it, buy a couple of cheap shitters, do a roadtrip, and then try to get all or some of the money back at the end. Maybe not with current fuel prices though.
We need a day in the life of Andy, that geezer breaks me😂
That’s mad, my dealership Dick Lovett Hungerford! Be decent to see a trade up series. Definitely clean it up and do some OEM plus modifications from the early 2000s era!
Get that clean up series going! The satisfaction of building you're way up is like no other :)
Haha sick man, I just bought a 2000 540i in individual sepia violet metallic and cremeweiss interior which is basically cream seats/ headliner with blue carpet/dash/door cards/ piping, beautiful spec
manual swap it , slam it , make it VIP look , drift it
trade up series would be fire if you didnt upload every million years
Screams VIP build, like you said coilovers wheels exhaust and tidy up job done!
7:26 the TV will need an upgrade to digital (places about that do it), with the phone a sim card will work as long as it's any network but Three (I have an E39 with basically the exact same spec Inc the 2 tone lol), my E46 also has that same old skool sat nav / TV - it's all run by a DVD in a drive in the boot which is super weird lol
Think my dad used to rock one of these back in the day... the interior gave me made nostalgia
you get can a rep alpina lip from ebay for fairly cheap, makes the front end look proper tidy
There’s gotta be a way to put a blue tooth adapter to the car phone so when ever you get a call the car phone rings, slammed on M parallels, always wanted a short wheel base e38
try and flip it for the most profit, a trade up type thing. Good detail will increase the value buckets
Best 7 series ever made and still looks the best out them all! I'd say lower it, fix all the paint back to spec, a nice set of OEM M wheels, manual swap, nice exhaust, full service and u'll have a gangster of a car!
About time people started buying e38s lol I got mine from Japan 4 years ago with 89k Km and haven’t been happier
Are you sure it's a 2001? It's weird the shadow line is matte black not body colour & the phone in 2001 was a hand held flip phone not a corded.
I'd also check the ecu through the engine bay obd aswel not just the interior one
Definitely get a alpina style front lip non writing imo
Also no.1 thing is check the timing guides asap
A fix up and sell on series sounds sick! Love this car, I keep it fairly stock, clean it up a bit and it'll look bad ass
Has to be retro modded, keep the look upgrade drive-ability. 👍🏽
I’d keep it auto, do some tasteful body mods, nice but not obnoxious exhaust
Keep everything good condition mechanics wise and use it as a luxury street whip!
My dad used to have one of these in the early 2000s , it was canyon red , such a nice motor
Fine looking car. I loved this E38 since the introduction. Enjoy lots of safe miles
alpina styling! front lip and 20" wheels
alpina lip for the win for sure. Slammed with some decent wheels
oem plus gotta be lower it wheels slightly more noise exhaust chefs kiss
At first I thought you bought it as a doner car for the coupe buts it’s so nice, mint 👌. Maybe a VIP build to take to future shows ?
Man I'd love to see a trade up series, tidy this up with some tasteful mods (M-Parallels, coilovers, Alpina style front lip) and just keep trading it up til you get an attainable dream car.
TraderUp Series sounds like a good plan. Prize on offer to Subscribers who guess the closest figure to the Profit or Loss on each deal. Sounds sweet.
bought it just in time for the timing chain ;) you should look into the timing chain guides on these engines
I think you should go OEM Plus and maybe but an exhaust on it
Theres an alpina front valance that give it way more depth
Yeah that series idea is bangin, go for it
Clean build it for sure! Adam (5two1) did a sick boat build with the Honda Legend
Have a look at 777 garage on here if you haven't already. Eddie knows these cars inside out and has probably got a lot of the things you'd want - think he lives near Bath but could be wrong.
I reckon slam the shit out of it, m paras, straight through (they sound insane) and any alpina/schnitzer bits you can get your hands on!
The idea of trading up sounds quite good. Potentially find yourselves a nice older car like a Mazda Cosmo. Never know what people's sheds and garages are hiding.
i have same car , put a sim in the hand set ,itl work ,mine does .where did you plug carly in next to front cup holders behind the gear leaver .sell it me 3 grand.mine will do 140 doesnt miss a beat and now 180,000 miles now ,

2022: 5:33 😂😂😂
Know nothing about cars but still love watching all your vids, excited to see what you do with the e38
HM sport aero for a better front end!! Nice buy!
Got to be the most pimp 90s beamer. Would love to see a VIP build
Drop it, put on wide 3pcs and clean it. Would look mental
Love the idea of you trying to flip cars!
Use it as a start of the car flipping series! Would be sick to see the progression of cars
So sick, I love E38s. One of the only cars I'd swap my E36 for.
The AC Schnitzer lip looks great on these
Low key upgrades only. Think this would make a great sleeper car
i had one from 96 4.4 still regreting selling it enjoy that car
Cut front springs and take out the rear ones
I think they were about £51000 when new, my mum had a white one back in the day such a nice car
You should 100% fix it up and do a full vip build! Unless there is good money to be made
a) loved the lethal weapon reference b)That car has money pit written all over it c) any plans to put a 'proper gearbox' in if even thats a possibility?
Don't just do a muffler delete, get a proper exhaust. The auto trans make it drone like crazy. Sound awesome otherwise.
44 seconds in and i fucking know its gonna be a banger, Jack on a bmx lmao
Slam it, flags on each corner and curtains on the interior - roll like a VIP!
quick HPI says:

Deffo do a trade up series but keep the 7 series and start with 1k or something g
Coilovers, 21s and exhaust 👌
This is my all time favourite shape bmw love it!
i want a still of jacks bunny hop as a sticker that would be fire
Would be sick as a nice oem+ road car for sure
E38s are cool as fook. Trade up series would be a banger💪
got me one! clean rides, but they don’t handle aftermarket suspension well.
expect a bumpy ride if you run anything but bags. 🤘🤘🤘
subbing for updates
Turrrrrrbo sleeper build! 💯🔥
me personally what i would do is complete the rest of the jobs (if any at all ) then sell on and work upto something like a dream car ( for me that would be an rx7)
I did have the E38 740i but I couldn't afford to run it, so I bought a 728i Sport and even that's expensive. One question? What did you plug the Carly into? As it's got a 20 pin connector under the bonnet or how did you get the readings to your phone. Cheers.
The 2001 E38 has both OBD connectors. The OBD2 connector is beside the cupholders under a removable flap
@@jakedekleuver Mine is a year 2000 so will it have the OBD2?
I reckon keep it stock and just get it as clean as a whistle
I bought Carly because of you a few years ago an i highly rate it, saved hours ! 👍
Omgggg I can already imagine the VIP build!!!
Make the buy/sell series that would be epic!
Alpina front spoiler and the 20’s to go with it.
Exhuast has to be the first thing, and rims for sure
Nice car love BMW especially the 5 series 523i
Sleeper car! It’s perfect make it look mint inside all plush and polished but stick a bunch of shit on the engine that turns it into a rocket
would be a sick VIP style build!
Don't get me wrong the OG BQR squad is ride and die. But the new gang is top shelf 👌
Is “In Stock” Andy’s new quote?
It’s up there with “Dash Stacker”.
Would love them to do something with the old school 8 series. You know the one with the pop up headlights.
Definitely fit air ride and big wheels
Bagged with Mpars and a full vip treatment, will look especially good being black already.
Defo should do the car profit series 👌
The trade up series would be awesome!
Buy and sell car series sounds sick👍
just about to buy one, good luck lads
