- BMW E38 restoration can be difficult and expensive, but it doesn't have to be. In this video, I'll show you how I restored my 1998 BMW 740i very inexpensively! This has been a long process, but teaching someone how to restore a BMW 740i was a lot of fun. I'll also show you BMW E38 headlight replacement, BMW E38 taillight replacement, and how to fix the cigarette lighter in your center console. Plus, I'll show you how Maaco paint quality can transform the look of your vehicle.
A huge thanks to @AutoAuctionRebuilds for giving me the e38 so I could rebuild her!

I still can't believe you saved this one! When Randy first showed it, I thought it was headed for the junkyard for sure. Great work, Mike, your efforts are appreciated.
Thanks!!
Always nice to see a classic saved! 😊👍 One of the good BMW:s! My own favorite is the E31... had a 1993 V12 850Ci 20 years ago, amazing machine!
Respect Mike to reveal this old nasty E38 to a nice 7-series again
Only you know what is worth Mike . It is your car if you sell it differently get your money back and a little extra for your hard work. You and Lola have an awesome day!😊
That car says old money all over the place... I like it!
fantastic job considering Randy didn't even really want to do a video with the car because he thought it was so hopeless
If you decide to sell it, take Randy out for burgers first. I’d love to see the look on his face when he sees the car’s transformation.
Who says hard work doesn't pay , congratulations Mike if people look up the definition of persistent hard work their see a picture of you old chap well done chuckles. Gary 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thanks Gary!
She looks beautiful Mikey! Well done!
Excelent makeover Mike! Just missing the emblems and centrecaps. Sending love from Czech Republic 🇨🇿
Czech Republic!! Very cool!!
Ditto from London; and finish her and keep her (Also show her off to Rascal Randy)
@@robertselkirk674 We need a video of Randy and Mike driving this car soon. Just enjoying the car at a car meet or something. Are there german car meets in the States?
Lola deserves a Rolls Royce !
Yes she does!!
Cant believe how far that car has come
When you look at the BMW when Randy brought it home and all the problems it had while looking like a rat condo and see to it now it is amazing that it was possible. Worth all the work from rescuing it from its LKQ future to what it is today. Paint is wonderful and the price is excellent. New parts yard with better prices and they have the parts you need. That doesn't happen often. Good scanner for a reasonable price. I'd have to drive the car for a while so everyone had a chance to admire what you've done.
Get a can of back to black spray for those trim panels it will make a world of difference
While most 'tubers are on vacation, MWM is posting awesome videos.
Work work work!
The BMW looks great with the new paint job.
Well worth the effort for one of the last true years of BMW in my opinion. Great job on keeping the fine example alive!
I've come late to this party 🥳 (subscribed a couple of weeks ago), but any resurrection of an E38 is worth applause and admiration 👏 My favorite car 🖖🙏
Thank you!
This BMW is almost another car and She looks awesome you did an amazing work Mike
The original color was probably Champagne beige metallic which does have a sort of pinkish hue to it. I worked at a BMW dealership back then and it was the color of the first 7 series we received in 1995. It does have a pinkish tint to it but I thought it was a great looking car. The early cars were plagued with the Nikasil engine problems and we replaced a lot of engines in 95 and 96. You got the common PCV valve issue figured out but the other Achilles heel is the timing chain and guides. When the cars reach 100k miles you're on borrowed time before they fail and jump time. If those haven't been done, or you don't know for sure, my advice is sell it asap. They're great cars if you keep up on the maintenance.
Amazing transformation
The difference is night and day! Great work!
Looks great. Lola needs to have her own channel.
Lola is so adorable
Car looks great. From Randy's backyard to your backyard.
Wow. What a stunner she is now. Nice one
Awesome love your co pilot Lola. 😊😊😊
WOW Mike you really did a HELL of a job on this one. ( I had my doubts) 👍👍👍👍
Thanks!
She Looks STUNNING!!!! GOOD JOB MIKEY 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It turned out great! Your hard work has paid off again.
She looks great Mike, well done!
I really like the old bummer.
love your microphone can hear you
Nice job Mike
If you use Bumper Black on the rockers they will look as good as the paint.
Randy's gonna get gelus and will probably want it back, just kidding mike.
Macco did a great job Mike for the price
Love it mike , could do a video on how you do the detail on the interior . It looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing
She's looking amazing Mike, great work my man!
So good watching another older car saved. Can't wait to see what you save next!
You and Randy take it for a drive then decide what you gonna do with it, but want to see you guys take it for a drive
Mike for the win
My dear dead mother always said if you can’t say anything good don’t say anything. Luckily that doesn’t apply here fantastic thumbs up!!
Great job Mike. BMW looks million bucks! Put it on the market and ask so you get your money back and bit extra!
The Beemer looks great! You did a good job.
Hey Mike, I just saw today’s video on the BMW. You did a awesome job on it. I hope you have a good day and I can’t wait to see your next video and I know you’re friends with Randy from auto auction rebuilds. If you see him tell him I said hi. I’ll talk to you later. Have a good day.
Good job, shes looking fresh and sorted. ;-)
Good job Mike. Oldie but a goodie Beamer. Brought it back from dead.

Old school Awesomeness! Looks Great!👍
The youngster and his fresh painted old BMW 👍😂
That car is so beautiful now mikey
Wow, what a series Mike! Love it
MWM, my friend. You’ve outdone yourself on this one. It was, at best, a parts car when Randy bought it. If I recall correctly, scrap was about $250 per pound at the time so he basically bought it for it’s scrap value.
And just look at what you’ve done: you turned a 4000 pound pile of scrap metal into a car that many people would be proud to drive, the ultimate silk purse!
I know you’ll drive yourself crazy if you spend too much time nit-picking the paint job, so don’t! We obsessive-compulsive car guys can always find flaws in finish work that most people can’t notice, so these days I try to concentrate on the 95% of excellence and I suggest you do the same.
I was so insanely O-C when I was in my ‘20’s that I once sold my favorite Corvette a month after paying $10k to have it stripped to bare fiberglass and painted. I couldn’t stand the fact that the paint shop corrected the fender seems that slightly showed on most ‘68s from the factory! I miss that one but in hindsight I learned to appreciate and enjoy the 95% excellent parts of a car.
Also, I’m amazed that you got a 95% excellent paint job for $1100. I would have thought that the paint and materials would have cost more than that.
Wonderful, wonderful job you’ve done on that now beautiful E36 Mike!
Peace,
DrRick
Great Job Mike you bought the car back to life again and she looks amazing .
Mike - great job restoring the BMW to its original glory.
Absolutely beautiful! The M in BMW now stands for MIKE! You should daily drive this beauty for a month or two before you sale it. Great video!
Mike you’ve done a great job bringing back the BMW!! It looks so much better!
You dragged that car kicking and screaming from the verge of being a parts car!
Good effort! ✅
Exactly!! Lol
nice job mike
very nice wish I could afford it. Great Job

Hi, Mike. Thank you for your hardwork and efforts. As I thought from the begining I saw it at Randy's video - it was only you who could save her and you did it 110%! This Bmw deserved it, because it looks stuning! Greetings from Lithuania in Europe 🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹
Looks great mike
It looks fantastic 👍🏻
Wow Mike absolute Wow!!!! Anybody would be proud to drive that Bimmer!!!! Really Nice Work!!!!
Hi Mike... The BMW is looking very nice! I love it when someone takes the time to bring a car back from the edge of an untimely death. Your doing a great job fixing up some older vehicles that would surely have been picked apart and crushed. I always look forward to seeing your next video...✌
It works yeah. I wanna watch. She looking beautiful.
Stunning mike
Lolaaaaaa! La la la la Lolaaaaaa!
Excellent paint job on the BMW to accent the paint color a bronze window tint will look excellent 🤔🤔🙏🎯
Great Mike - imagine adding some gold BBS style wheels??? Yes!!!
Amazing job Mike!!!! Knew she could come back to life and you did it!
An e38 is definitely a car on my bucket list.
Great work!👍🏻
Looking forwards for the Mercedes to be rescued as well.

Hi Mike, it looks like Maaco did a pretty nice paint job. Keep it for a while and work out the few remaining things, drive it and enjoy it and then make your decision. It looks great now, good job bringing it back from the grave. 😀✌❤
Dam that BMW looks really really good Mike 👀👁👀
Definitely Tint it, that would be the cherry on top of the transformation
That BMW looks amazing! Great restoration.
