Great bmw ,the beat bmw ever… salons and beautiful color, take care of him

Lovely. I had a 1998 E39 528i which I had for 20 years. It had 236,000 miles on the clock when I sold it. Only internal work was, typically, the rocker cover gasket. I had an Xbox in the boot and rear screens. 😀 I eventually put an android head unit in the from with Apple Carplay and that transformed it. Mine also had a Motorola handset with two SIM card readers, one in the phone “eject box” and one tucked away in the boot. The car was fantastic. Black with shadow line surrounds, angel eye upgrade and glass roof.

Love the e38's. Gorgeous example you have there!

This is registered the day before my own 2001 Rover 75 & I recognise some of the parts bin components that got used off BMW on my 75. I keep looking at these E38’s & the E39 as an alternative modern classic wafty barge & it’s the 2.8ltr engine I’d want since performance has no interest for me, only quite comfortable progress. I’ve watched loads of videos on the E38 & the trim/colour/engine combination on this one appeals the most. I’ll subscribe so I can keep an eye on its progress.

These just look proper on the Parallels. I wish the headliner on my E39 held up as nicely as that one.

Needs more VTEC.. but, beautiful example for the price.

🔥👍 Цвет самый лучший!

Beautiful car! Is this Biarritz-Blue?

One of my favourite 7 series, pre Chris Bangle !! Although my old E60 530d was a great car !!

What a LOVELY car. Peak BMW to be sure, best color combo as well. Under powered I suppose. It is a heavy car. But lovely nonetheless.

Minor detail: hydraulic trunk doesn't work because this one doesn't have it, left trunk hinge would be different, also would have the hydraulic cylinder on it, and a hole on the chassis for the tubes (so it wasn't just removed or something). It's a fairly rare option.

I have the exact same car! Love the 6cyl. The door trims need a bit of work, some of the plastics doesn't hold up in the hot asian sun. Looking for a shop to restore the interior. It's leaking something from under the hood (checked the dip stick but engine oil level is ok) so not sure what that is, that needs to be checked as well. But otherwise absolutely love the comfort and quietness! It's a world away from even my 2018 Honda Accord.

Great video and car thing looks near new

Just came across this video, in regard to the bonnet not popping up, i have exactly the same car with the same problem, there is a spring steel plate on the catch near the middle of the car which is supposed to push the bonnet up, over the years it looses its spring, you can test this by just bending it upwards, bonnet will open ok, but after a while the spring plate bends down again, not sure if still available from bmw, i will probably make one myself, hope this helps

These cars are a dream, except from the rust issues, it runs like a Swiss watch. Good luck with it.

So how much was it to buy and insure?

when you pull the bonnet catch stick a rag under the leaver sorted .

Tell us more about this car.....

33mpg on the motorway.. on a motorway run it should be upper 36+ or mid 40's if driven economically.. obviously much less round town. Boot lift is a rare option. They're not fast, but can pick up speed pleasantly between 25-70

Fuller Schwartz means that the base coat was black before the avus blue

It has the Shadow trim, headliner and window trim

Great color combination, love it. Shame it's not a 740, 728 feels a bit weak for a such heavy var imo.

my 728i does 30 round town and 48,50 on a run .some leak you have . and the boot is soft close ,and put a rag under the bonnet pull .
