    It's nice to see a car "rescued" and still be profitable.
  • Beautiful E38, although not the most expensive sold. The E38 Tupac was shot in was being sold for over $1,000,000 a while back. Interestingly enough, they repaired all the bullet holes and whatnot. I almost feel as if it would have sold for much more if the bullet holes were still there.

    Jamie it appears you do amazing work. But that’s not why I’m commenting. I needed to compliment you on your content, editing and just the way you bring an excellent product to YouTube. Everything seems so polished and your calm demeanor brings even more to your channel. Thanks again for this adventure through this series!!!!!
  • Aren't you a little bit sad you sold this beauty? So much work you put in! You brought it back to showroom state. 👏

    I bought my 2001 BMW 740il which looked exactly like this one without the sports package for $29k in 2005 from a wholesaler in NJ. It had 50k miles when I purchased it. I drove it for 7 years and added 100k miles. It was by far the best car I ever owned.

    You and M539 Restorations should come together for another "rescue"
  • You know, you see a bunch of channels out there who try to stand out by being louder or more eccentric. That actually drives me away in search for more down to earth and sober channels like yours. Started noticing your shorts on YouTube and ended up going through your longer videos with great pleasure, especially this last journey with the 740il. Congratulations on the informative, quality content, keep it up and thank you!

    It adds time to auction to prevent bid sniping.

    I got a 1995 740i sport and I love it. Came from japan

    I had a E38 2001 740iL. Miss it everyday. I’d happily pay $25k for a refurbished one.
  • @Wannabeajedi63
    Nice. I owned a 1995 740I. Best car I have ever driven.
  • Loved it, my first time watching you (UK) but I'm hooked and now subscribed, I love it when people do things properly.
  • @veritas6466
    I want that Emola Red 5 series in the background!
  • Gorgeous car. Looks almost exactly the same as mine except my interior is black. Using these videos as motivation to carry on with restorations
  • Very well done on the sale, lovely piece of BMW history there and looks amazing.
  • @jj481012
    Great series! I throughly enjoyed your professional and meticulous attitude towards restoring the car. Inspires me to get my old bimmer cleaned and fixed up.
