Helpful video for me! Just bought this car off a mate of my dads and was just scrolling through KZfaq and thought I recognised the plate! Nice to see the issues you’ve had with it, gives me a better idea of what it’s like with the lack of invoices!

What a beast that one is, 😁🤣🤣how many personal cars you got 👍👍👍

Great review... your transmission error message may relate to the gear selector switch on the side of the transmission. Quite common on E38's, shouldn't be a huge expense for you.

super helpful thank you

Hi mate, interested in buying some of your cars do you have a website ?

Do not light a cigarette near the petrol tank

is it UK ?

Did you sell it?

Good video; thanks for talking about your ownership experience! I might prattle on a bit, so please bear with me, haha. I'm across the pond and picked up a 740i Sport about six or seven months ago. I'll admit I'm waffling around about keeping it, but it did have a ton of work done relatively recently(chain guides, VANOS units, cooling system, etc) and it hasn't really given me any trouble other than some perished suspension bits in the back(and some minor cosmetic issues that really aren't a ton of trouble). There are times I want to sell it on, use the proceeds to get a couple of my other cars fixed, and find something else later on, but every time I get in and drive it I start leaning toward keeping it. It's relatively modern, comfortable, arguably the high mark in BMW's styling, powerful, and everything works. I know my mind might change, but I am leaning towards keeping it.
