adamflower : it's very weird....your country seems to get every 15 years old cars that we had in the central Europe back in 2005-2008....it's like all the cars that we're done with end up in a country like yours is. Your fellow country men feel proud driving 15 years old fancy cars that are simply just old and break down regularly due to being german and not having proper Quality Control procedures and have very low reliability.

Hell yeah, Eastern Europeans are known for importing old German cars once they stop meeting their local standards and these vehicles start their new lives here. We take care of the bare-minimum maintenance required, cover up all the imperfections, perhaps perform a slight mileage adjustment, and we feel like hot shit driving them around 😎Then it's off to a used car dealership advertised as a mint-condition car barely used by its first and only German owner for trips to church on Sundays. 2005-2008 era cars as still a status I am working towards. I am stuck in the demographic that's after cars from the 90's to early 2000's. I am just a few construction-work-related-foreign-trips away from acquiring a D3 A8.

Quick tip for the filling problem: Had the exact same problem on my e46 320cd, all you have to do is NOT fully insert the nozzle, because when you do, the back pressure from the air in the gas tank trying to escape tricks the pump nozzle to thinking it's full. you just insert it all the way and ever so slightly pull it back. Hope this helps.

I don't know much about BMWs but my Suzuki had the same problem, I put a air nozzle with a towel around it in my filler gap and put some air in it. Usually there's a small gap near the filler gap that allows airflow so that the air doesn't pressurize the gas pump, it could be clogged and it was clogged on my car. Sure some fuel shoots back up so be mindful but, it fixed the issue : ')

Due to low salaries people like myself often buy older and used cars from western Europe. That being said, large cities - including the one I live in! - are trying to implement restrictions which will prevent cars like mine from entering. I decided on this car with this particular engine for a couple of reasons. One being that it produces a lot of power and torque for the money without many owners reporting issues. The second (and main) reason is that it's very uncommon and I'm drawn to peculiar and niche things. I love having an older 7-Series with a V8 diesel especially since it's very strange and rare.

But if you also have buffalo you don’t need to worry about scratching it 😆 the leather is very tough. We used it as a family workhorse. Chickens, children, dogs, garbage, construction materials. All kinds of stuff was carried around in it. Plus the 3 yearly trips to the alps back and forth to go skiing. No damage to the leather. The quality of BMW’s interiors used to be so incredible. Now its all cheap plastic that creaks when you squeeze it. Seats made of thin perforated leather (hides the imperfections) and the doors feel like they’re made out of plastic. The E39’s doors felt like they came off an APC 😆 double glazing was also equipped. Offering a similar level of comfort on the highway to the 7 series. Also had air suspension.

Insanely comfortable (like Rolls Royce level comfortability in this gen of A8s, you cant even feel any potholes or anything when you go over them, and the rides on the highways especially are like you're on a yacht on the sea, its absolutely mesmerizing and amazing!!). One of my friends even said he regrets selling his S8 D2 because it was the most comfortable car he's ever had. 2. They don't have rust issues or minimal ones, cause we've had ours since 2013 in our ownership and so far since production the only rust it had was near the windshield, like around the sides on the roof mostly. Other than that I have not seen any other rust developing anywhere due to the ASF (Audi Space Frame), it has a full Aluminum body minimizing any rust. 3. The 2.5 TDI which we have is nuke proof, incredibly reliable, ours has around 480 or 490000km on it I took a picture today too to keep track and the only issues I remember it having was a Torque Converter issue and overheating issue, otherwise very solid engine with other fixes being suspension components, filters etc etc the usual service, so if you're ever in the market for a reliable A8, get the 2.5 diesel with 150hp you won't regret it. However, it is a bit on the slow side!

The filling up problem is caused by a clogged vent. As you're filling it the air has nowhere to go so it creates a positive pressure and triggers the nozzle stop. As a temporary fix while you haven't unclogged it, you can just leave the hose half-out so that air can get out through the sides. Btw, do replace your outside temperature sensor. It's a cheap part and it really affects your hvac. Not to mention, I'm not sure if this affects e38s, but e39s are very known to catch fire due to this: the car thinks it's -40C which triggers the heated windshield washer nozzles to be always on, even if its hot and the sun is hitting the hood. This melts the insulation and eventually causes a fire. All because of a cheap little sensor.

****Fuel filling fix**** •When you have issues with filling the tank, turn the fuel nozzle 90 degrees to the side! This will allow you to fill normally. If by some chance this doesnt work (it will work) •Get a long screw driver and a hammer and bash the small circular flap off. It to fall into the tank. No big deal

@@fetconfet I did consider the 730d, but I figured the 740d would be more special, so I applied the "go big or go home" mentality. Maintenance-wise they're not that far apart. They're both relatively large diesel engines. And I haven't heard as many complaints about the M67 compared to the M57, but to be fair that's probably because they made very few M67's as opposed to M57's. Besides, it's pretty cool to have an engine that used to power trams in your car. At the moment the only tax you need to worry about when buying a used car in Poland is 2% of the car's value. However, they are considering implementing a yearly tax based on the engine's displacement. But that's not even the worst part, as my city is trying to be "environment friendly" which will prevent all diesel cars of such age from entering. If it passes I won't be able to enter the city in which I live.

​@@fetconfet At the moment there are no taxes associated with the displacement, but I have a feeling it will change very soon as mentioned above. But it is a factor when insuring a car and mainly when importing a car. Insurance is no big deal as I pay maybe 180 EUR for the mandatory insurance. However when importing a car with an engine under 2.0L you pay a 3.1% import tax. Anything over is 18.6% of the car's value. But it's no secret that governments hate car enthusiasts and they would prefer that we all ride a bike or a bus instead of cool vehicles.

I have E38 740il, it amazes people how smooth and quite these car can be, they're absolute cruiser and a blast on highways. I get about 9/100km (or 26mpg) on highway and that is if I keep a light left foot, however in the city its 14L/100km (16 mpg)

I had the same thing happen with the gas pumps in my Vectra A, my solution was pulling out the nozzle 1-2cm out of the fill hole, it didn't stop while filling up but did when the tank was full

That's lovely and pretty rare example of an e38 just few niggles to work through and you'll have an excellent car great fuel economy too! The pump clicking is probably a cloged vent.

@Fuel filler "problem": I drive (or at least know) an E38 730d almost since it was new. It was always a problem filling it up when you put the nozzle fully in, there is nothing faulty. Just hang in the nozzle at the very first notch in and you can fill very quickly. I even regularly use truck pumps (because they are faster) without any problem with this method.

Just so you know, someone tried to get fuel out of the tank with a hose and a special bearing at the end in order to get the fuel out, because these tanks hoses get skinnier at the end in order to avoid people from pumping the fuel out that pumping device is stuck at the bottom of the primary hose from the brim down. You have to get it out. All German cars are equipped like that. Enjoy !

Hey there! I noticed you have that fueling up issue too! I guess that's an e38 thing haha, I have one as well, and a little tip and advice for easier fueling up at the gas station is to never fully stick the pump in, and hold it a bit twisted clock wise, atleast it works always for me. :) Hope that helps!

What a great chill video, 18:40 made me laugh, I also bought a car with ATF and engine oil in the trunk and, like yours, it (was) leaking power steering fluid quite badly and I just noticed it's also consuming a little oil (probably worn out turbo since it is making a nice ambulance siren noise haha)

@@adamflower1715 We also have a Fiat Croma 1.9, great thing, currently getting a clutch replaced, because ever since the gearbox got rebuilt it was slipping under full throttle in 6th for the last 30kkm and it recently decided to start slipping quite a lot more hehe. It also has an overboosting problem from sticky turbo vanes but not really an issue in normal driving for now But the siren comes from my 2 month old 300kkm Alfa 159 2.4 jtdm, with a ridiculous remap that boosts up to 2.8bar. Previous owner says it has been making that noise for the last 100kkm so i have no real reason to go replace it, plenty of other things that need attention first (like the improperly made refurbished power steering pipe i paid 80eur for, that causes a rumbling steering wheel when standing still -.-).

The 5cyl sound + smooth power that starts pulling like a train from 1200rpm and keeps on going to basically redline, is unlike anything I've experienced before. The handling for a heavy FWD wagon is also really fun, the seats hold you well and are surprisingly comfy Mine looks brand new, but mechanically it's a little worse than I thought when buying it, but I think it's a good project car to learn with (already replaced the power steering pipe twice and now need a 3rd (hopefully last), apparently these cars only accept original pipes, rebuilt ones seem to have a 50/50 chance of issues)

Dzięki kolego. Na forum narzekają na 730i, bo rzekomo w utrzymaniu kosztuje tyle, co V8, ale jedzie bardziej jak 728i. Może jestem stronniczy, ale rekomenduję 740d ze względu na unikalność. Diesel V8 w starej limuzynie to naprawdę ciekawostka, a podróże to wielka przyjemność. Ale wychowałem się na benzynie z LPG, więc jeszcze parę lat temu bym się śmiał z takiego wyboru.
