A lot gets achieved and with this video, we are pretty much done with the mechanical restoration of this car. The 7er is at last in perfect running and driving condition.

    I’ve been a BMW tech for almost 20 years. My pride and joy was a 2001 740i sport. I installed intake manifold from the m60 motor, updated the radio to bm53 flat pin so I could do factory aux input and the list goes on. It was modified but all factory parts. You sir, deserve that car ! Great job.

    Hey, I've been following this project since the first episode was uploaded. All I want to say is: Wow, I'm really glad you were the one who picked up this 750. You were exactly the owner this car needed to be resurrected, after all the hack jobs/mechanics that were working on it prior! This episode was really my favorite of the bunch, seeing how far she's come and finally passing inspection. Your attention to detail is outstanding. This is a similar reason why I decided to start working on my cars myself- I simply don't trust a mechanic to put this much careful work into a job.
    This E38 is very lucky you came along and saved her from rotting in the desert. Wishing you many happy miles of autobahn runs after you get the plates!

      Get one, a Bentley’s workshop manual, and learn how to work on it. The people that hated these cars and think that they’re money pits, are those that chose to take them to someone to fix, except those someones were mechanics that glue valve covers on. It’s just better to learn about your car, and learn to do it right by watching guys like this. They’re not for everyone, they are aging cars, but if you have the passion for them, and acquire the necessary skills to keep up with all the things that break, and to do it properly, there’s no reason you can’t have one. They’re not as expensive to keep up with, if you treat them like they should be.

Overall it cost me like 7-8k euros and at the end of the day I'm a bit scared to drive that car on an urban street where it's a big of a chance that someone might just run into your car and ruin it completely and the insurance company just say "Alright here's your 2000 euros for your old BMW - go buy a new one"

It was time to do some updating to it to give it the S-Line look and I spent $6K+ on paint work, interior and exterior replacement/upgrades and larger 21" rims & tires. Once it was complete 2 weeks later an older woman rear ended me! The insurance company would NOT pay to fix the car! All that work was a complete waste! The insurance settlement is hardly enough to buy a replacement! I'm out a car and paying for someone else's negligence...ARGHHH!!!

      @@Swordie100 Yeah we pushed the insurance company multiple times for a higher valuation of the car with comparisons and receipts of all the work done. After weeks of back and forth they eventually settled on an amount that would cover repairing the car. After 2 months from the incident I picked up the car yesterday and forgot how good the car looked after all the upgrades I had done. The car was nicely polished and gleaming in the sun, it looked fresh off the showroom floor. Very happy that I was able to get the car fixed and not sent to auction.

      Hey, I've been following this project since the first episode was uploaded. All I want to say is: Wow, I'm really glad you were the one who picked up this 750. You were exactly the owner this car needed to be resurrected, after all the hack jobs/mechanics that were working on it prior! This episode was really my favorite of the bunch, seeing how far she's come and finally passing inspection. Your attention to detail is outstanding. This is a similar reason why I decided to start working on my cars myself- I simply don't trust a mechanic to put this much careful work into a job.
      This E38 is very lucky you came along and saved her from rotting in the desert. Wishing you many happy miles of autobahn runs after you get the plates!

    So many bad mechanics destroying perfectly good cars. I have an F30 with the n13 engine and had a valve cover gasket issue. When I went to a shop here in Singapore, I was told that only 2 shops here knew how to replace it properly and wanted to charge me $600. I bought the gasket for $40, went home, and replaced it myself. It's really hard to find good mechanics .. many of them don't even believe in using torque wrenches. You are an inspiration!.
