    Hello. For some time I have had a dream, I call it the E38 dream. The dream is a late E38 M Sport with the engine from an E39 530d. I have recently purchased a nice dark blue 2001 ‘51’ plate 728i M Sport with black leather and a 2001 ‘51’ plate 530d. Production age is only 2 months apart...

    I have my eye on a 2001 E38 740i as I am considering using my E31 as a second car instead of a daily driver which it currently is.

    Hi all My 2000 728i with 120k miles on the clock has this issue where it can on occasion have a terrible misfire when starting - causing EML light to come on. If you turn the car off and back on the EML goes out and misfire disappears. Car feels sluggish generally but occasionally it is...

    Recently bought a 1995 E38 730 automatic, currently there is no drive no matter what gear I put it in . No error message on the dash or anything and the shift level seems to change gear without issue. So I'm assuming it's an a drum failure in the transmission and the transmission will require a...

    Hi! Thought I'd introduce myself on coincidentally ten years to the day since I registered here. All that time I've been dreaming of owning an E38, and for at least five years I've been dreaming of owning a particular E38 that lived round the corner from a friend's house.

    I thought it was about time I posted up some details of the partial restoration of my 1998 E38 740i. I bought it in August 2017 doing a straight swap for my mint condition 330ci. The guy thought I was crazy but I have always wanted a V8 E38, I was bored of the 330 and whilst the 740 was rough...
