Mike that 740 has you written all over it. BMWs of this era are relatively easy to work on (especially compared to an S63) and parts are readily available.
Those e32s are absolutely beautiful great handling just like their sister E30s. I love E30s I've owned several. My parents driveway looked like a mini E30 car lot. My love was a little strong when I was 17-19. 🤣
If it goes for less than $1500, it's worth it for sure. 90's era E32 7-Series are next to impossible to find this clean!! Worst case scenario, replacement engines are fairly abundant in scrap yards.
The inertia switch probably got trapped in the accident on that ram. I would so get the BMW for sure. The Ml350 is nice but I would definitely look it over really good.
Mike, just stand over here by the "Should I buy the BMW' cliff and I won't push any harder than is necessary. Looks like a good car. The Ram pick up may have been good enough to have someone mess with it so it won't start. Again it's all about price as usual. The ML350 may be a good one but I'd check it over really well. Nice selection once again. Thank you.
I would give the E32 740i a chance. Had an E 34 535i Manual from that era and actually these cars were very easy to maintain. Okay Sometimes the speedometer needed a slap with the hand so that it displayed the rpm and speed again (a problem especially in Munich, too many speed measurements by the police ;P ) but otherwise.. I should have kept it longer. It's already a classic 👍
G'mornin' Mike ☕☕ 😀 . I would jump on either the beemer or the Ram truck and try to get'em cheap. Cause it may be as simple as replacing a fuse and/or relay in the fusebox for the fuel pump, coil pack(s) or ignition that someone may have pulled to disable it & discourage others in hopes of picking it it up for circus peanuts. Remember Randy's Honda ? . It didn't run, the solution was a 50¢ fuse. You can arc fuses and/or relays across battery terminals to pop them, then put them back in the fuse box to disable vehicles & nothing looks outta place. Some a$$holes don't play fair but it's fun when you figure out someone's trying to run a game & you checkmate them & capitolize on it 😀 .
Truck found nice clean ram won't be hard for you to sort out i believe and the issues will make it go cheap however it looks sabotaged so someone wants it more than you would I think
Get the Bimmer!!! My first one was a e32 735i back in 99. Alpine white, black leather, deep deep tint and 19" BBS wheels plus a few AC Schnitzer add on's. Wish l would have kept that one. Would still turn heads today. My guess is fuel pump.
Save that 740! That's one of the last great 7-series models (the E38s were pretty good as well), back from the days when BMWs weren't needlessly complicated and riddled with pointless gadgets. I had a 5-series of about the same vintage and loved that dashboard (it was almost identical), especially the light switches. When they moved from the E34 to the E39 the service manual(s), AKA the Bentley manual(s), doubled in size - The one for the E34 was one big book, whereas the one for the E39 was TWO huge books, one just on the electrical system. Back in the late '80s/early '90s a neighbor had purchased a new E32 7-series like this one, and it wound up getting smashed in their own garage. It seems that someone tried to steal my car, and rather that just call the cops I, like any pissed-off young man whose car was being stolen, went over to where my car was in an effort to get it back. I didn't think that he might have had a weapon or something - I just wanted my car back. My plan was to jump on top of the guy, shut off the car and then beat the living #$%& out of the dirty rotten little @#$*&$. Well, I sat down on top of him and fumbled for the ignition switch (where he had obviously hot-wired it), trying to shut off the car. He figured that this would be a good time for him to leave so he put it in gear and floored it. He drove through one neighbor's yard, across the street (it was at this point that I fell out of the moving car at speed and rolled down the road), through another neighbor's yard and the through their garage, smashing into their new E32. The little ##$% fled on foot but was caught by the cops on the next street as they were coming up to investigate my situation; he was attempting to break into another car which was, hilariously, unlocked. Last I ever heard about this incident was that he skipped out on a probation violation hearing - no surprise there. To this day, there's still a neighbor on my parent's street that has two old 7-series parked in their driveway. There's an E32 like the one you just looked at as well as a 1st generation E23 model, and both of these, like my 5-series, have manual transmissions. He also has a first-generation Acura Legend, a Honda Insight and a couple of old vans - a seemingly random assortment of miscellaneous drivers - show cars these are not. What's even more surprising is that these old cars are still there after all these decades. It's an upscale neighborhood and this collection of ancient used cars filling the driveway is quite out of place given what most of the houses look like. Despite there being an HOA there doesn't seem to be the militant crybabies that usually congregate in that type of organization, screaming "My property values! Won't somebody think about my property values?!?" 30 years ago we used to joke that the slums in that area were the three-quarter million dollar homes. That unmodified house with all of the old cars? It's one of the least valuable on the street, and it's currently valued at $1.98M...
Mike; PLEASE, PLEASE save the BMW, it's a heartfelt plea from an old fool and big fan from Harrow in North London. You know it makes (little) sense but you can hear her calling "save me Mike" Well, I can hear her so you must too. And love to Lola from her English Setter fan "Willow" also from London but born in Ireland.
I like hood that open the opposite way. The Buick Lesabre from the late 80s to early 90s also does the same hood trick as the 7 series! Hope it goes for cheap!
The BMW looks like a good project to take on. The body/paint is good as well as the interior. Don’t think it would take much to get on the road. Would love to rescue Randy’s @AAR 740i but it is so far gone.
Great video as always! What I love about your walk arounds is that you take your time and show us damages in the car, and since your almost 60 haha your very wise and you don’t show your age and never complain in any videos! Great video!!!!
I'd love to see that 740i on the channel Mike, she's a beautyful underneath the dust and dirt and she's screaming at you: "SAVE ME" She knows you'd be taking good care of her. 😄
I Love the BMW Mike you are absolute diamond. My friend worked for them back in the day and they were test driving a brand new one and knew I loved cars I was 16 at the time 97' BMW 740 diesel we got it up to 145mph I was amazed because it had such quick pick up and up to that point all the diesel's that I knew were so slow.
The ML is sure a great vehicle. My mother has a 2010, and I'd like her to upgrade to something in this arena. Take that to Maaco and get one of Randy' paint specials on it :) The Ram kinda seems like the fuel relay or fuse got pulled. Sounds too healthy otherwise. I'm digging the BMW!
Remember how Randy @AAR occasionally finds sabotaged vehicles. I'd look for the inertia switch on the Ram. It might not be a physical button like they used to be, but I don't know for sure.
Buy that ML350 as your tow car, the side impact is not that complicated to rectify, just repaint it over, add the side mirror, and you're home...the BMW E32 series is a solid car...but nor much value to flip it...hence MWM you may decide...regards from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia 🇲🇾 ❤️ 😉
One of my neighbors had two of those old 7 series sitting in his driveway for years and years, never doing anything with them, just letting them sit there and rot and be a blight on the neighborhood. Mike, don’t you hate it when car hoarders do stuff like this?
You could probably get that BMW for less than 5k. Maybe around 4500k since it doesn't run. You can actually tow in that too. I towed a little pop up trailer behind mine. Less than 2100 pounds. Did pretty good,
This ML350 looks like a Maaco job if it doesn´t have any undercarriage damage and since you have a lot of junkyards in your neck of the woods this ML 350 will do 100 000 miles with the right maintenance.
You look good in it BMW a little black beauty needs to be saved and it's what your channel is about save those luxury cars probably be a good subject and you look good in it
I was just wondering. When the ram truck didn't start you believed that, because the gas gage indicated half a tank, it had gas and that the ignition was creating spark. But in fact neither might be true. The ram fuel pump or a gas filter coul be bad and likewise there could be an ignition or other sensor problem problem. But with the BMW you immediately went for a bad fuel pump when it wouldn't start. I know that you can usually hear the fuel pump in a BMW ehe it is working but not all the time. Why not the same consideration on the ram?
Hello Mike aka Monkey Wrench Mike. The Mercedes ML350 is a good car. Yes you can save it. It'll take a lot of paint to fix the scratches and some other things to fix the front.
When you said the Mercedes could be perfect for you I thought it might have been on fire or something.😂 That BMW looks interesting depending on what it goes for.
Mike that 740 has you written all over it. BMWs of this era are relatively easy to work on (especially compared to an S63) and parts are readily available.
It’s too emblematic to be parted out.
Bring it back home Mike!
Those e32s are absolutely beautiful great handling just like their sister E30s. I love E30s I've owned several. My parents driveway looked like a mini E30 car lot. My love was a little strong when I was 17-19. 🤣
Mike: Restoring that BMW would make excellent content, and would be extremely satisfying !!!
It would be cool to see the bmw running and back on the road again it looks like some took good care of it
The BMW is a mid-term project fuel pump and some love might bring that one back 😃😃😃😃
The Old 7 series would be great for you Mike, love it
That 740 was made for you Mike 😁
wish they still made bmw's like that, those are pretty easy to work on, and in comparison with modern bmw's, they are really reliable.
That BMW looks cool. It's the years before it became electrical nightmares.
I think that old BMW would be a great addition to your fleet Mike.
If it goes for less than $1500, it's worth it for sure. 90's era E32 7-Series are next to impossible to find this clean!! Worst case scenario, replacement engines are fairly abundant in scrap yards.
That 740i would be a good one!!!
The inertia switch probably got trapped in the accident on that ram. I would so get the BMW for sure. The Ml350 is nice but I would definitely look it over really good.
That BMW looks good on you Mike 😎😎👍👍
I do have a soft spot for that era of BMWs, pretty well built and a very nice car to drive long distances
AND, not loaded with tons of electronics!
Mike, just stand over here by the "Should I buy the BMW' cliff and I won't push any harder than is necessary. Looks like a good car. The Ram pick up may have been good enough to have someone mess with it so it won't start. Again it's all about price as usual. The ML350 may be a good one but I'd check it over really well. Nice selection once again. Thank you.
I was thinking that someone may have pulled a wire or a fuse on that Dodge.
I like the Mercede's but the truck looks great and perfect for you Mike
Wow Mike U r keeping busy, really cranking these videos out. Keep up the great work, enjoying all Ur videos!
Happy Sunday Mike, hope you’re having a great day

740i would Be great series, very nice car
MWM was a baller in the day with his 7 series. For under $1,000 that bimmer would be a project.
the 740 is nice Mike. I like it 👍👍
Get that BMW…. You can do it.. Mike

I would normally say No to the BMW but it's an old one and they were built better, so go for it Mike if you can 👍
Good luck. Please save that 4door black bmw.
740.. why not if you want, those are good cars :)
I think that you could get that BMW back on the road, Mike.
The BMW looks like a good project to take on. The body/paint is good as well as the interior. Don’t think it would take much to get on the road.
Would love to rescue Randy’s @AAR 740i but it is so far gone.
I would save the BMW if the price is right. Thanks for the great content.
That Bimmer reminds me of my 92 that I had. It was a 92 535 model. Real nice. Black with a tan interior. 🐸
Great video as always! What I love about your walk arounds is that you take your time and show us damages in the car, and since your almost 60 haha your very wise and you don’t show your age and never complain in any videos! Great video!!!!
You know you want it Mikey! If you can get it for a decent price, Do it!
The ML350 max towing is 6500 lbs. I have the same exact car…love it, no air bag suspension!
Thank you MIKE! Always a good video from the "good guy"!
I think you should save that BMW and right behind the BMW there's a nice red GMC Truck that looks like it has plastic covers on the passenger window.😊
Mikey wants BMW , don’t stop yourself !!
Mike your channel is gold!
Thanks!
I'd love to see that 740i on the channel Mike, she's a beautyful underneath the dust and dirt and she's screaming at you: "SAVE ME" She knows you'd be taking good care of her. 😄

Good day everyone
The Prime Minister of the Republic of Serbia, Zoran Đinđić, was assassinated in BMW E32 like that,in 2003
Tupac was assassinated in his E38 in 1996.
@@CarringtonHollister I would say it was an E38. 🤔
@@makpsv oh my sincere apologies it was indeed an E38.
It looks like all that ML needs is a bumper, a mirror and 147 little bottles of touch up paint!
Amazing find
That Dodge Ram has potential Mike 😎👍
I had a blk ml 350 same year great vehicle
That ML looks like it would be an easy fix with a paint job.
Yes! It will be a reciprocal endeavor! Better than e38 from a drivers pov. Love it!

To bad the truck would not start. It would've been great for towing Mike
I had the same as 740il A great car 👍
I think the BMW would be very cool.
Buy!Buy! Someone probably pulled the fuse.

I would definitely buy that BMW 7 series because it looks in really good shape and engine sounds like brand new
That 7 is very cool 😎

The BMW, that is.
The Ram truck is promising, probably go for a pretty penny.
mikey likey
it's not bad
Mercedes looks like they meet a barbed wire fence
Topical problem fancy and no work hahahaha i love you man
Get the BMW Mike, it fits you
I would take the Mercedes Benz SUV and the BMW. Especially that BMW would great to see it run and a good detail job bet it'll look new
If that feather is for good luck, it sure looks like it failed.
E32s e34s and e38s are such amazing cars. Would go great with you owning a e30
The scratching on the ML is on the passenger side. You will never see it. Good deal.
