rip :(
i love E65, E65 there is something special about it. i have e60 also unique car but i also want to buy E65
Please man, give me number color bady
Looks like it did nothing! 😂 I'm going to try it though, thinking it just needs a longer bath, thanks!
Beautiful car. It always amazes me how much stuff these cars already had in the early 2000's. Nice Tudor watch btw.
Beautiful car, definitely one of if not the most comfortable car seats ever.
How did you delete the comfort access on the handles, currently draining my battery quiet hard and im once again 3/4 comfort access doors out of action. Was this done by coding or just unplugging the connector?
Simply remove each handle and unplug the larger connector 🎉
Wow been watchen this for 11 years
What colour is the paint? It looks great. My new-to-me e66 is Monaco Blue but it desperately needs a deep clean and machine polish.
Same colour, Monaco Blue.
@@stevesbmwbarn I can't wait to get mine looking like that then! Thanks
Your rear blind moves about 3 times faster than mine! I wonder why mines so slow, brand new battery so it cant be voltage. Maybe i'll figure out how to lubricate the mechanism
If it's anything like the window guides you'd be amazed what squirting some silicon spray down the sides can do.
@@unixnerd23 Great, I'll do just that thanks!
Very nice car. Somebody is going to appreciate this.
Great car steve, i thought i commented earlier but just in case it didnt upload you can get in touch with me about any coding you might need done in future. i specialise in BMW coding here in ireland.
Great car, truly fantastic condition. Was kinda surprised that you went for a 7 long if the back seats barely get used as you say.
beautiful beautiful car. I got to say, at rear it's not bigger than my Superb 3U.
Thats the first time i've seen a BMW 740Li compared to a Skoda Superb 😁
What a lovely car steve shame you have to part with it.
Someone is going to get a bargain 👍
Wait till they see the road tax😂
@@PaulGuiry how much in Ireland? In uk high road tax is like £400. I can stomach up to £50 a month but more than that and its 🥴
@@ironmantooltime In Sweden it’s about £280 for a 750Li
@@NordicAdvRider bargain!
@@ironmantooltime Here in Ireland it's €1,809 to tax a car like this each year.
That poor starter motor 😂 Great progress 👍
What are you replacing it with?
You've heard of a spoiler right? 😂
All i can tell you is Good Luck with your A/C computer and Front windscreen. I had to get rid of mine. Because of the A/C computer. Went through 4 of them and the windshield is no longer available. So....
You should have pre-lubed the entire top-end as it ran completely dry for a while until the oil started coming out and drip onto the cams.
It had already done a run with assembly lube and then with motor oil, everything had a thin layer of oil on it, thanks!
On a rebuilt engine the first few seconds running are CRITICAL!!!! Even in everyday cars; most of your wear is on cold start up until the oil gets pumped around the engine! On ANY modern vehicle the MOST UNKIND thing you can do to them is NOT SERVICE them with Top Quality oil!!
You are a brave man ;)
Great, looking forward to the interior
It's rather cranking not running. Eye candy nonetheless
Love these motors, fantasizing about putting one in my E28 5er, but I imagine it would be much easier in an E34 5er due to the similarities with the E32 7er which of course had the M70 stock
That's the most beautiful air compressor ive seen for a long time!
Beautiful 🥰
Good afternoon Steve what a well educated and interesting video THANKYOU for sharing this video 👍👍👍 excellent next time I’m in Ireland I’ll buy you a Guinness 👍👍👍
Solution: 40% vinigar (%?) And 100g simple salt?
That last few minutes with it running up close is awesome Steve. Never seen that in real metal, only in diagrams and computer generated vids. Can't believe how you don't have more people following this. ❤
great progress.
great to see you back steve , its coming along well :)
Incredible work you're doing. I have never seen an engine running like this. Phenomenal.
Im living 100km from Munich. If you need any help for parts let me know. 🙋🏼♂️
Much obliged
sure by now you have lifted the carpet in left footwell, removed the speaker lower left and found the AC Compressor "Lockup" black box. having noticed the damage on the fuel pump fuses, in my opinion whilst welding up the sill jacking point directoly below the faktory jacking point round hole (covered on yours with metal plate) It was this unit that had fried wires.Resulting in the melting of the fuse holders for fuel pumps, AC fuse is right next to them!! That AC unit need the wiring changed a wee bit. see the forums. Straight forward once the burnt wirrs are fixed, p.s I am just about to re-do the brake lines as I used SAE tooling instead of the DIN Type flare required for the M10 nipples, The M19 nut dont put sufficient pressure on the connection due to the angle on the backside of the SAE bubble flare being tapered. DIN type has a 90 degree flat surface to match the Nut. Imperial SAE have a taper! All the cars i had so far have been Imperial so, anyway glad to have found out why the connections leaked even with very tight fittings. we live and learn⛑
I recall you mentioned this before, I think you might be right, i'll need a second look!
Lovely job Steve. Very well done.
Bravo, great neat work
Thank you for this amazing build…I’ve owned 2 …750s: M70. M73. Love the torque
hi Steve, is there any way to reach out to You via email ? i dont have social media :/
Email in my profile
@@stevesbmwbarn i dont see it
@@stevesbmwbarn hi Steve i dont see it. Where is it supposed to be?
i hope you get this thing out to some of the shows we have with bmw classics here in ireland. would love to see it in the flesh
Save me a space in 2047.
Excellent video , i have an 850 . Every time i hear the word Banjo bolt !
The heads are universally designed, so the left bank can be installed on the right bank. That's why the oil pressure is reversed.
Correctomundo.
Hi Steve! Another nice video, as always :) !! I have been following you since the begining of the channel. This series of videos helped me a lot with my v12 bmw (e38)
Stretch out???? Yeaaaah......it's been 3 years. Dedication though, no doubt. But no, this isn't M539 Restorations. He's full time YT.
Well done, look forward to seeing the body being worked on soon
Great stuff. Serious work involved.
cant wait to see how the interior turns up
100 grams of salt! Does he mean 10 grams?
where i can buy this set to fix coolant pipe
Brings back memories of working in treatments dept at British hovercraft corporation , cadmium plating, copper plating, and anodising. Working on hovercraft, and helicopter parts. Good video, well explained 😊
