By far the best 7 series ever in terms of design. Sleek and not beefed up like its successors.

Glad to see you getting the old girl sorted. Totally agree the E38 is definitely the best looking 7 by a country mile.

This is my favourite shape 7 series. Glad to see this 750 being restored to its former glory. Loving the glimpse of the panda Daytona too 👍

Beautiful car, still the best looking BMW to date in my humble view. And yes, I am biased, owning one from 1997 myself in beautiful "oxford green" 😊. It has a smaller V8 engine, tough, but this is good enough for me. Looking forward to see more from this beauty on your channel. Greetings from Germany!

I'm a E38/E39 diehard fan. By far the best 5/7 series IMHO.

These videos are awesome Damian - Great content, awesome car, superb finished result. Jake did well !

Agreed…one of the top 3 most beautiful sedans ever made.

Been waiting for this video , proper proper motor 👌🏻cannot wait to see the finished car.

Beautiful car 🙂 always loved these barges

Awesome, just awesome. I love the restoration of worthy metal from yesteryear. Very deserving for this wonderful machine from an era of great cars with a soul. Great car Damian & an ace channel 👏

Well done Damian! I’m happy you keep it on the road. It’s such a beauty!

Amazing car, it deserves that treatment, thanks for the upload 👍😁

Congrats on getting this back on the road,, I am with you, I love it…..

A car from the absolute golden age of car making! I love your garage but if there's one I had to pick for a drive it would definitely be this one.

Great to see this car coming back to life. I had an E32 735i SE in white with blue interior and optional split rims for many years. I think I still prefer that shape on the shorter wheelbase cars. Loved it! Looking forward to seeing the 750iL done! Silver suits it well.

Lovely car and great to see it finally getting some love. A 25-odd year old car that is still one of the best cars for what it was designed to do.

Damian, it's your responsibility to join the traffic already on the road, so YOUR bad on that. Now that spot of unpleasantness is out of the way, I'm probably in the minority of your viewers that actually appreciates your 'vids' on your big limo cars (it was your Phaeton episode that got me started on this channel) so a big thumbs up from me 👍.

I was demonstrating what happened in reverse with a lorry. And actually, if you have a car indicating to join the lane and then a CV lorry veers from lane 2 to block you - that’s a) rude and b) dangerous.

@@TheCarGuysTV My point still stands, it is up to you to join the traffic flow safely. I will of course concede that I have no way of knowing the traffic situation as I was not there. Perhaps you were the victim of an unprovoked road rage attack by an uncouth HGV driver whose mother was frightened by a BMW and was hell bent on not letting you join the traffic stream. But the call is yours to make, and you did have your indicator on. Still, a good episode.

absolute class D, haha. I had 2, an drove many more E38s, many miles; my first was an early 3ltr V8, I blew the coolant hose off in sport mode down clerkenwell EC1. what can'ya, say, a well sorted E38, don't wanna know bout the 2.8, rest of em, is a lovely thing.

Loved this video

Can’t wait to see the finished result 👍👍

I love these cars:)

I do think that this era was a high point for BMW across the range. Such a classy design, simple but stylish. Great thay you're bringing her back to her former glory. Now you just need to put your chauffeurs hat on and drive Jason to some more auctions to add to the collection.

E38 is one of my favorite car of all time, especially Alpine.✌️👍 Great video guys👍💯

Going to look class when it’s done.

More beautiful in dark colours

Good work, had to get a new windscreen for mine, a genuine OEM replacement through Autoglass back in January. Had a 6 week wait but well worth it 👌

Well done... great to see an E38 being restored... looking forward to the final video. 😎

Such a great shape. Iconic

Lovely car 🚘🚙🚗👍👍👍👍👍

Looks good in silver but does look better in different colors. Awesome.

A highly enjoyable and well edited video,.

lovely motor

As an ex BMW 'tech'🥱 🤣 I've always preferred a dark E38 especially V12's. Good one you for bringing a true legend back to life. Unfair to compare to Maybach but a complement non the less...maybe S500, and early ones at that? I hope you have deep pockets with this one 😳 Have a great weekend and I look forward to your next upload 🍻

Yes great content. We want to journey with you mate and your collection.

What a gorgeous BMW, it looks so much better in silver.

Nice S2 Elise at 2:55 !

Good video

I love the shape of these.

Looking forward to the next video of the finished 750. Love these luxury barges. Had the very much inferior 728 a lot of years ago. Still a superb drive. With your garage, I would be hard pressed to drive the 750. Unfortunately!

YES!

A 19 year old me at uni way back in 03 had a lovely 728i sport, 97 R reg. Good times indeed...I got pulled over all the time. How times change...Q5 50e nowadays

This is exactly what petrol heads love to see ,, a proper car having work done and it all documented,,, great video and graphics!!!

This video of the BMW restoration was very interesting Damian, actually I don't remember if you ever shot a video like this. Maybe a VLOG of your car fleet maintenance segment would be cool. Congratulations

A smart looking executive saloon that. Sharp lines. BMW really got the exterior of that generation of seven series spot on. The interior and the ruched leather not so much.

Glad to hear that Jason is coming out of hibernation

Great Vid and a good watch, would love to see this Exec Express back out there doing its thing, lovely looking cars. Strangely I was actually present at the filming of the care chase scenes in the Multi-Story car park (which was actually filmed at the Brent Cross Shopping Centre and the engine note you can hear in the film was actually from the bloody loud TVR 350i camera chase car and not the BMW). Still looked epic in action though. Looking forward to see the next installment and this badboy back on the road!!

Great shape, still like these as well.

Wise decision to replace the air filter, they become with the time stiff (by humidity and drying up again) and have than reduced airflow.

Cracking car for 12k 👌🏼

KEEP IT, SIR!!! You will regret selling it. They are only going to increase in value as a happy byproduct.

The creaking over bumps may be the front suspension top mounts, mine sounded like a creaky old wooden boat, replaced both top mounts and it was back to normal again.

Love this sort of content, the car by far looks great in its true colour …… pity it did not have a tan interior, then it would have been spot on ?

Built as an Autobahn storm trooper @ 155 mph,limited. Equally happy on a Sunday pub lunch trip...nice machine.Maybach is on another level ..Alan Sugar ?

Lorries need to keep their speed for fuel efficiency. You could have easily sped up a lot faster with the v12. Also, love the dark colors but the silver is the best color for the e38.

Usually I love seeing restorations on neglected E38´s - but honestly man, you managed to end up a pristine Japan low milage example as a daily, blasting miles on it, modifying it, to finally leaving it nelected by letting it rot outside in these northern European conditions and even letting origiginal parts being stolen off it!! The car deserved better - hope, you make up for it... 😔 By the way, the Motorola Phase V phone works fine even today by using the current GSM standard already - you provider is just to issue you a classic and matching SIM card, which has to be placed into the card slot of the control unit within the trunk, but NOT the eject box upfront! And: If it happens multiple times that your wing mirrors are driven off by a lorry "flying" up from behind, you better either get tthe M73 engine checked over properly if all the 326BHPs are home, or you have an issue finding the throttle paddle... 😅 That never happened to me, neither in an 728 nor an Alpina b12... 🤔 Please consider this as constructive critisicm...

personally I'd replace those cast headers for a lighter stainless 12 into 2. check yr rear axle carrier bearings, an all control arms, drop links etc, an replace old tranny fluid.

My cads were also stolen,because the car sat so long,I have straight pipe now

How can I restore my E38 like that in Portugal?

Damian was not the issue entering the road. Everyone hopefully should be aware that as you approach a slip road as difficult as it can be at times particularly at heavy traffic periods should be prepared to make way to vehicles entering the main carriage way. The more cars we have on the road the more difficult it will become.

squeaking in the rear could just be the rubber on the parking brake cable in the rear that needs attention..

My 1999 E38 728i is all you need Knock it over it flyes mad car and it will do 145mph all night .

Gie it some style 37 rims

If it were me. I would sell the Benz and drive the much cooler BMW. The Benz is huge. It seems like the BMW would be a better daily.

Definitely leave the E.V ranting alone and get back to what you guys do best....these types of Car Guys Videos. 750 IL was a beast of a car, that V12 was smooth you can balance a 50p piece on the pellum chamber between the two intakes. The integral rear suspension links and rear rose bushes (mentioned) always wear out and also the front thrust arm joints and bushes. Seems BMW always wear out their suspension joints quickly. Other then that I don't remember many other problems. Definitely worth keeping it up together.

Please take the V12 badge off the c pillar, it breaks up those beautiful lines we all treasure. It's also not discreet and understated as this car deserves...
