M-parallels, tidy up the front end suspension (control arm bushings, tie rod ends, end links), new rubber and DRIVE IT. I have had all manner of cars and it is one of my favourites.
Alpina front splitter is the most common one but AC Schnitzer also make splitters. I would drop it on a set of ultra low BC coilovers (they make a set for these) and put some fake splits on it like a Dare wheel. do a budget bling build. sort the paint. get it machine polished. tints all round ... and then turbo it or fit a supercharger
Lovely looking E38! One thing, to read all the codes from every ECU in these older BMWs you need to use the round connector in the engine bay, it requires an adapter but will read out a shitload more ECUs and properly read the engine and transmission ones.
if I remember correctly all the facelift models of the e38 had obd connectors instead of the 20pin and it's behind a little cover that pops out by the cup holder
I'm not sure how true this is but I've heard the 4.4 V8 is actually more like 305bhp, as they developed it in the 90s (they just claimed the same as the old 4.0 as to make the upcoming M5 in 2000 look better and more powerful), over 100hp extra on the M5 looks better than like 95 extra 👍
Are you sure it's a 2001? It's weird the shadow line is matte black not body colour & the phone in 2001 was a hand held flip phone not a corded. I'd also check the ecu through the engine bay obd aswel not just the interior one Definitely get a alpina style front lip non writing imo Also no.1 thing is check the timing guides asap
I did have the E38 740i but I couldn't afford to run it, so I bought a 728i Sport and even that's expensive. One question? What did you plug the Carly into? As it's got a 20 pin connector under the bonnet or how did you get the readings to your phone. Cheers.
If you were gonna keep it I'd say restomod GT daily. Mid exhaust, nothing too crazy, and upgrade the tech to current standards, and then just clean and tart it up a bit. However, that 'flip cars and trade up' sounds sick so definitely do that. Even just flipping cheap cars for profit would be fun to see, just for the variety. Could TopGear it, buy a couple of cheap shitters, do a roadtrip, and then try to get all or some of the money back at the end. Maybe not with current fuel prices though.
Have a look at 777 garage on here if you haven't already. Eddie knows these cars inside out and has probably got a lot of the things you'd want - think he lives near Bath but could be wrong. I reckon slam the shit out of it, m paras, straight through (they sound insane) and any alpina/schnitzer bits you can get your hands on!
7:26 the TV will need an upgrade to digital (places about that do it), with the phone a sim card will work as long as it's any network but Three (I have an E39 with basically the exact same spec Inc the 2 tone lol), my E46 also has that same old skool sat nav / TV - it's all run by a DVD in a drive in the boot which is super weird lol
Haha sick man, I just bought a 2000 540i in individual sepia violet metallic and cremeweiss interior which is basically cream seats/ headliner with blue carpet/dash/door cards/ piping, beautiful spec
As the economic crisis keep rising, diversified investment portfolio in the financial markets is needed to help you survive economically and other aspects.
Just brought a 740i sport on Sunday . You boiz need to source the 3.15 diff makes a huge difference to the acceleration at the low end. You know for when you kick down around a corner for some fun
i have same car , put a sim in the hand set ,itl work ,mine does .where did you plug carly in next to front cup holders behind the gear leaver .sell it me 3 grand.mine will do 140 doesnt miss a beat and now 180,000 miles now ,
me personally what i would do is complete the rest of the jobs (if any at all ) then sell on and work upto something like a dream car ( for me that would be an rx7)
There’s gotta be a way to put a blue tooth adapter to the car phone so when ever you get a call the car phone rings, slammed on M parallels, always wanted a short wheel base e38
would carly be able to diagnose air bag lights? need to get a reader anyway around that price point but don't want to get one if it won't turn my airbag light back off

Love an e38! Definitely coilovers, m parallels, fully black interior, and an alpina lip. Then start a trade up series, that would be good to see
go full VIP on the e38, slammed with some shiny rims 👌 would look sick , keep up the car content love it
With a banging straight through.
@@connorwyllie8674 deffo and jdm yellow inner headlights
This!
hell no
Cringe
Love the idea of a trade up series, ending with a dream car
1000000%
I agree
trade up to an e36 😍
Yes please do the trading up series! Clean this up, move it on and repeat! Awesomeness ❤️
M-parallels, tidy up the front end suspension (control arm bushings, tie rod ends, end links), new rubber and DRIVE IT. I have had all manner of cars and it is one of my favourites.
Put an alpina kit on it would look amazing if they actually make parts for 7 series beamers
E38's are so nice been wanting one for a while! As much as I like E38's the trade up series sounds so cool and a lot of fun!
manual swap it , slam it , make it VIP look , drift it
trade up series would be fire if you didnt upload every million years
You need to keep this car!!! Would be so good alongside your other two bmw’s, we need a video on Andy’s t sport too even if it’s a pov drive
Alpina front splitter is the most common one but AC Schnitzer also make splitters.

me every time a friend is looking at getting a new car
Get it sent on some prosports, no preload on springs, cut cats out, alpina lip, m paras and Quaker oat fitment on the rear, jobs a carrot
The buying and selling sounds like an awesome idea and you can give us lot a list of what not to do LOL
It’s nice to see it’s not been ruined with an lpg conversion
Screams VIP build, like you said coilovers wheels exhaust and tidy up job done!
get it slammed mate and go full vip spec, it would look sick with that interior as well , the two tone is class

you get can a rep alpina lip from ebay for fairly cheap, makes the front end look proper tidy
alpina lip for the win for sure. Slammed with some decent wheels
Has to be retro modded, keep the look upgrade drive-ability. 👍🏽
You should 100% fix it up and do a full vip build! Unless there is good money to be made
Don't get me wrong the OG BQR squad is ride and die. But the new gang is top shelf 👌

Straight pipe and Coilovers/bags, ssr minervas, window curtains, head rest cushions, vip tray tables, splitter, quick detail and job done👍🏻
The trade up series would be awesome!
We need a day in the life of Andy, that geezer breaks me😂
A set of M-Parallels, front lip spoiler, nice exhaust and a polish then it'd look sick. There's a set of M-Parallels on ebay for £200 right now...
Are you sure it's a 2001? It's weird the shadow line is matte black not body colour & the phone in 2001 was a hand held flip phone not a corded.
I'd also check the ecu through the engine bay obd aswel not just the interior one
Definitely get a alpina style front lip non writing imo
Also no.1 thing is check the timing guides asap
A trade up series would be so sick
Lower it a bit, put a lip on it with a set of Style 37's. Fettle with the exhaust and enjoy it. Always attention worthy cars when clean!
Buy and sell car series sounds sick👍
I think they were about £51000 when new, my mum had a white one back in the day such a nice car
That interior is so nice even if it probably wasn't meant to be like that
I fucking regret not getting an R32 GTS-T when they were under 10k. I hate myself for not buying one when they were more affordable.
fix it up clean it and add some tasteful VIP mods
Vip build would be sick
you should go full VIP spec for sure
This is my all time favourite shape bmw love it!
So sick, I love E38s. One of the only cars I'd swap my E36 for.
The AC Schnitzer lip looks great on these
Love that one, got one too! Real driving pleasure :)
I bought Carly because of you a few years ago an i highly rate it, saved hours ! 👍
Alpina lip kit gets rid of the gurning look 😂
Fucking dope in love already 🤤😑
Low with stock wheels, cat back, doesn’t need anything else
coilovers, parallels, exhaust..
bmw"s are like skittles,too many e numbers....
I have an 2001 E39 in Glos with the plate Y915 OBL. 😂😂
I did have the E38 740i but I couldn't afford to run it, so I bought a 728i Sport and even that's expensive. One question? What did you plug the Carly into? As it's got a 20 pin connector under the bonnet or how did you get the readings to your phone. Cheers.
The 2001 E38 has both OBD connectors. The OBD2 connector is beside the cupholders under a removable flap
@@jakedekleuver Mine is a year 2000 so will it have the OBD2?
wheeler-dealers it man. old out yer 'and
I buy a 328i .. you buy a 328i ... i buy an E38 .. you buy an E38. ... I'm going to buy a pink street ka next for the crack and see if you follow haha
Get that clean up series going! The satisfaction of building you're way up is like no other :)
Sell/ trade up to a skyline would be sick, also what gen skyline would you get tho
Trade up series!! Get the Aston Martin

Nice Mat Armstrong impersonator
This thing is so gangster, maybe check under the seats for some spicy sugar….
Is your passat a cr140 ?
try and flip it for the most profit, a trade up type thing. Good detail will increase the value buckets
100% to trade up series!!
Haha sick man, I just bought a 2000 540i in individual sepia violet metallic and cremeweiss interior which is basically cream seats/ headliner with blue carpet/dash/door cards/ piping, beautiful spec
The E36 summat, but wtf, you gangsters round Gloucestershire? Andys volvo better than either your bmws. Don't care bout what you offer
got me one! clean rides, but they don’t handle aftermarket suspension well.
expect a bumpy ride if you run anything but bags. 🤘🤘🤘
subbing for updates

I do like a E38👍🏴

About time people started buying e38s lol I got mine from Japan 4 years ago with 89k Km and haven’t been happier
Year 2000: CEOs driving round in these using the car phone for serious business
2022: 5:33 😂😂😂
Don't just do a muffler delete, get a proper exhaust. The auto trans make it drone like crazy. Sound awesome otherwise.
i have same car , put a sim in the hand set ,itl work ,mine does .where did you plug carly in next to front cup holders behind the gear leaver .sell it me 3 grand.mine will do 140 doesnt miss a beat and now 180,000 miles now ,
keep it stock as u say it's a timeless design
Keep it oem, keep it calssy. Its one of the best cars ever made. Prices are rising.
Bagged with Mpars and a full vip treatment, will look especially good being black already.
TraderUp Series sounds like a good plan. Prize on offer to Subscribers who guess the closest figure to the Profit or Loss on each deal. Sounds sweet.
Is “In Stock” Andy’s new quote?
It’s up there with “Dash Stacker”.
Coilovers, cat back, fix the paint/panels, nice front lip, black grills!! Clean sleeper
VIP style mate!
me personally what i would do is complete the rest of the jobs (if any at all ) then sell on and work upto something like a dream car ( for me that would be an rx7)
first timing chain .....
I like the trade up idea or clean it up sell and put that money in the e36
Also what’s next for e36 and when 👍👌
There’s gotta be a way to put a blue tooth adapter to the car phone so when ever you get a call the car phone rings, slammed on M parallels, always wanted a short wheel base e38
would carly be able to diagnose air bag lights? need to get a reader anyway around that price point but don't want to get one if it won't turn my airbag light back off
Sleeper car! It’s perfect make it look mint inside all plush and polished but stick a bunch of shit on the engine that turns it into a rocket
Body kit on it and make it quicker! 😂
Think my dad used to rock one of these back in the day... the interior gave me made nostalgia
Low key upgrades only. Think this would make a great sleeper car
don't tell any one but the e38 is the best bmw. the masses will argue e36 vs e46 but the e38 is the one.
Trade up serious for sure!!!!
Slam it, flags on each corner and curtains on the interior - roll like a VIP!
