No Mercedes will ever look as good as this BMW

I bought a 2001 740il and it's been the best car I've ever owned! I love it...even after 15 years of driving it, I still get compliments on its looks, and you can't beat the reliability of this awesome car! Love it..in fact..looking for another one with a little lower mileage than my current BMW!

Watch a movie called “Boomer”. This is Russian movie about 90s. You’ll understand why people in Russia so love E38

90s BMW will always be in style.

I had the turn of the century S-Class and the XJ8. The E38 is better than both those rivals for driving experience and looks. My current car is a 1997 E38 740i M-Sport. I'm not even looking at AutoTrader any more.

The car in the video looks soooo good! This is the best looking sedan EVER, even better than an E39 M5 and I mean when I say it - when you've owned an E39 M5 you become fanatical about it:) But then, these are the cars I grew up with and that sticks into your brain; none of the newer cars will have this much of an impact as an E39 or E38. Not to mention the fact that the design language of the the modern cars is just too busy, too flashy, it's essentially a race about who can get the most attention/sales. Great point about the closing doors, it's just sooooo satisfying!

Style wise they nailed it back in the day

I’m hurt you said this car lives in the shadows of a Benz... bimmer always shines over Benz.. always :)

Nice video. I bought a 740 il last month. Have watched many videos about the car. Yours is one of the bests. Keep up the good work!!

Everybody talking about there 740i's and I'm here with a 730d ^^. And I have the exact same car as you. Wheels, interior, M-package, Colour and so on ;)

Late response here but the E38 is an incredible car! Both in design, looks and driving! It’s the true meaning of “ultimate driving machine “ timeless classic and modern enough at the same time! It’s the automotive best kept secret! Nothing compares. The w220 is soft bouncy luxury boat! I own one of these too! Both great cars but the E38 740i sport is exceptional in the way it makes you feel behind the wheel. E38 sport, E39 M5, M roadster all exceptional cars that will be in fashion forever.

I owned one back in 2000 till 2003, it was one of the best cars I've owned, with tons of unforgettable memories. right now I am so happy that I have had that car before this little kid was born to review it LOL

Absolutely the most beautiful 7 Series. Before or since.

I own one of these 2001 Sports, as well as a 2001 740iL. They still look great, timeless good looks, as long as you are running the correct wheels (style 37 M-parallels). I love them both, but I love the Sport a little more - it is a fantastic driver's car and is my daily driver. I honestly feel as if I know a secret few people know: how to buy an amazing German sedan at a 90% discount. If you buy an E38, buy the nicest 2001 you can find. That one will be the best AND cheapest one to buy and own.

Thank you sir ! Very inspiring video , great job! I have never owned a German vehicle but this particular car has been sitting in my mind for the past 6-7 months. I had many different cars in the past 20 years all Japanese Honda or Toyota . But my next one will be a E38 despite that now, in 2020 this will be 20 year old vehicle I will give it a try. Btw beautiful place too ... where is that the great pacific NW. cheers from Seattle , you can not beat our summers but oh boy once September hits the weather is miserable

Muscular and lean! Absolutely beautiful!!

Great video. Thanks for sharing. In the video, I see your side dash is peeling off. Were you able to fix that ? I have the same car in Silver and mine is peeling off as well. Was wondering if there is an easy way to fix it. Thanks

The Transporter!

I LOVE MY E38 7 Series! lot of trouble but still in love like the first day

great video on a legendary car

Cool vídeo! Just acquired a 1995 750i and have no regrets (yet hahahah). Congrats bro!!

I have read about an issue with the 8 cilinder "after facelift" version concerning the 1 chain Vanos system. This would be a very costly repair: is this indeed a known problem with this series?

Good video. I want one!

I know what you mean about the brake pedal man, the only thing I don’t like about mine either. I also really like the E23 7 too, cheers !

Nice looking. I am collecting one.

Hello I have one question. Does the sports model have no rear sway bar?

Good reviewing Dude? 👍

BMW design language from that era just ages better than all the competition . Even now as well whilst people criticised the e65 but most car manufacturers copied that design language over time . Also the interior tech eventually everyone now uses some sort of their own version of i drive. The e38 and e65 came with technology firsts . Note the sat nav in the e38 was probably the first in a production car. 🇿🇦

I like the term "bank vault doors".

I have a 740il for my first car and love it

Nice review! You need to do more videos and grow the channel.

thats a beauty

BMW - Freude am Fahren. 😎

I think this box model was made way before its time. It would look perfect in todays time.

whats the name of that tune your playing ,,,,,

You should’ve did the 0-60 in manual mode 🥸

Have You ever driven the E38 with standard suspenssion ? I wonder if it is much more comfortable than the M-sport version ?

Like a perfectly tailored suit.

A fleeting nod to fuel consumption was made at 9.46 - the fact is that this car does 14mpg (urban) and just 19mpg (highway). Only young, starry-eyed high-earners would dream of buying one. My old Volvo S80 D5 SE Lux is nowhere near as fast as this car but it will cruise along the highway at similar (legal) speeds while doing over 50mpg. It's also just as luxuriously appointed and with almost as many 'toys'.

Miss my 2001 bmw 740i sport in silver. Prior owner it was involved in a federal crime and I bought it auction

I'll take it, how much?!

I just bought my first seven series With manual transmission of course Soon i will feature some videos with it

I see more S class and Lexus LS than Jaguar and 7 series which probably points to reliability issues . But I agree that the 7 series is easily the best looking ,best driver focused, and most rounded executive car of the 2000s

The Best Car ❤

Beautiful car , no wonder Will Smith and ice cube owned this type of model.

Dude drive m edition, it’s one of best rides out there

R u selling it?

Can't say I agree with the markets you described. The 220 had a near cult appreciation when it came out among those in the technology sector. It was groundbreaking. You would see software and Silicon Valley execs in the 220 (not the E38, at that time, as it was outdated). Either way, they were both used in conspicuous ways and both have benefits the other could use. The Bruno Sacco-designed 220 is not an inferior design to me (must compare M Sport and AMG package to be fair) but the E38 is the best BMW has managed since.

Is this particular case rep repainted or is this the factory coating?

No sport steering wheel? How come? I'm on my 2nd M-sport, love them!

if you get a dubmd tune it will really wake up the v8 performance

Nice car with exterior. But, are you sure it’s a real M-Sport version Bimmer ? It’s so weak for 0-100 need 8 sec.!

Good car, I'd get one in a heart beat, and not look like some one's chauffer by getting the short wheel base.

بصحتك

Would you ever get a 745i e65 ?

Still the best looking 7 series

I thought 2001 had the sport steering wheel?

Sorry buddy but I can’t agree with you in regards to this bmw being better than the S Class W140 which is the car it really competed with. Any person in the auto industry knows for a fact that the S Class 92-99 beat this BMW up in sales and not only that proved its reliability and luxury amenities. Everyone knows the W140 S class of that time was competition for Rolls Royce. I still like this 7 more than the new 7 but S class like you said puts these cars in the shadow. I like your video by the way

What about the 2001 Audi s8???

جميل

If only it had a 6 speed auto transmission...

Would you sell? Very interested!

Yes S class for poring people 🤔

Living in the shadow of the Benz? No bro your wrong in so many ways, bimmer’s shines bright over Benz any day..😂

Sorry, This is not a short sport. Wrong steering wheel. Wrong head liners. Wrong rear end. Nice try though.

This is the best 7 series ever made but the rest of their model years tell now are are terribly ugly... they are not even a match to Audi ... Mercedes is in different league with all respect to your opinion ... owned many but could not be more happy with cars other than Mercedes Benz and Mitsubishi cars too ... sorry bmw fan boys ...

S class are ugly though imo

Americans: No Cup HoDLErS!?? NUNI!???
