Don't forget who was Germany's ally in WW2. It was Japan.

This looks better than the new 7 series. Back when bmw cared for their customers...

Doug:''but before i begin''... me:double dub on the screen

I had a 1988 740i and I had a blast in that car my friends loved when I took them for drives. Took it on some long road trips as well she tracked true and ran great. Wish I kept it.

14:30 I am guessing the reason was not cost but rather wanting to pierce the bodywork as few times as possible.

Cockie still operates and looks like brand new 1, like its just come out of the oven fresh 🤙

Кирилл, между тем к игре в online казино надо тоже подходить с умом. Естественно, когда вы катаете в вулкан делюкс то вы ни одного раза не выведете бабки, а например если придти к вопросу тщательно тогда сможете представлять, что существуют такие как вулканы, созданные мошенниками и не выводящие деньги, а имеются игорные заведения с лицензией, где подкрутка аппаратов исключена. Так что не думаю что правильно решать на основе мошеннических сайтов. Лист лицензионных игровых автоматов можно посмотреть здесь: casinreg.ru

Doug be like “THISS is my wife and I’m gonna take her out for a drive and show you her quirks and features”

In 1991, I'd rather have a Lexus LS400 or especially an SC400, Lexus styling was leagues ahead BMW

In reality their v12 is just 2 2.5 liter is6 glued together in a v shape. So yeah no surprise they came up with that before a v8 engine, as the v8 required development the v12 didn't. And that said... I never have been a fan of bmw v12s.. as they usually just become a pain when things break, specially given how much of an independent unit both glued together i6 still are. Has always been i6 or v8 for me.

Nice car... but never it success to opposite with Mercedes..... This bmw have a 5.0 v12 300hp (second step of podium of Mercedes crush it with a v8 of same cube and 26cv in more.. itts egalise just DAUGHTER 'V12 E38 )... poor Jagiar before 1993 had just v12 5.4 given for 289hp..controlled under 270hp....... Mercedes v12 is a 6 liters 408hp (all verified upper 410 hp"....VELUE OF A A FERRARI TESTQROSSA OR LAMBORGHINI COUNTACH.. lwb/swb V/w 140 mercedes was lionger of 10 inchs E32 bmw Lwb... /swb.........

infotainment predecessor.. um, what, like a BOARD COMPUTER ?

The E32 is still my dream car. When I was a child it was too expensive, now its impossible ti find one in good condition here in Austria.

You don't write the numbers on the phone, just the name of the person you want to call . Wouldn't make sense just to write the number.

nice car

Something is leaking from the engine bay @ 19:26

My favorite 7-series was the e23 and the e38, either one of which I would be quite happy to own. I walked past a neighbor's new, massive, overstyled 7 with its ugly front-end the other day and simply shook my head.

730 is its v8

Does Doug review emergency vehicles?

My dad owned one of these when it was more or less new, thinking he had gotten a "good deal" on a V12, it was a total lemon. The catalytic converters melted and fused together, requiring > $6000 in repairs, no fewer than three times before he sold it, at a loss. I remember checking into this model circa 2000 when I had an employer with multiple T1s, back when that still seemed as if it was relatively fast broadband, and most of the remaining stock which could be found had a *negative value* given the repair costs, with multiple fora posts from multiple owners attesting to what a disaster it was to own one of these. My dad, owning predominantly Mercedes and Mustangs from my youth in the 1970s, until this car, swore off of European cars entirely until he died (making an exception to buy my mom a Mercedes station wagon with AWD circa 1999 [he passed away in 2000]), switching to a Mustang 5.0 GT convertible after unloading the 750iL onto some other sucker. Albeit, I grew up within ear shot of Laguna Seca, and in addition to attending more or less every race on that track, my dad would also take me on "bonding" trips to Concours d'Elegance at Pebble Beach annually. I am sick to death of cars, but your channel reminds me a bit of the hubris and ignorance my dad exhibited, so I watch it for its charms, or quirks as you may phrase it. ;) Despite your perspective though, as the son of someone who owned one, and pushed cars to their limits, this was a complete disaster of a car. I drove it once or twice, and while it was impressive that it would hit 50MPH before even bothering to shift out of first, it was definitely not suited for anything but making repair shops unnecessary profits on abysmal engineering. There are reasons why multiple mechanic youtube channels poo-poo BMWs, and your review seems to ignore that entirely. I'm honestly surprised you found one in drivable condition in the 21st century, they were falling apart even within a year or two from being shipped from the factory. Moreover, that's *with* the over-engineered poorly thought out trip computer which could be heard mechanically logging information if you sat in the car after it had been powered off for more than 5-10 minutes. A truly, terrible, vehicle.

You say it was the first V12 in a mainstream car. What about the Jaguar XJ12 of 1972?

i think this is the most beautiful car ever made. i love to imagine myself in 5 years driving it

👍

In my E32, all the doors in the armrests have normal pockets (I have whitefish and a wallet there). In the fatty trim levels, there is a passenger airbag (I have it), at maximum speed there is full climate control on the buttons (without twists) And from the very beginning there was a V8. Did you screw up? Acceleration 7 seconds 30 years ago on a weight of 2.5 tons. She is prettier than 38, steering well for a barge. And "no sportiness" cheoooo ???? This is a premium barge. Buy M5 for racing

it's a little sad to see small grilles that suit perfect a large car. now they are doing in reverse: huge grilles on small cars. too sad

Not the 1st time germany and japan teamed up

19:27 is a cool Quirk and feature of the BMW 750iL

i'd like to see doug use that cigarette lighter without it angling up

The „S“ on the wipers button means „Scheinwerfer“ german = headlights (washers)

The 1-2-3 is not shifting gears like a manual transmission. It is a higher starting gear, e.g. if you want to start with less torque in 2nd gear if its icy.

My friend had one. His dad was absolutely minted.

I live in Ireland and had a 1992 5 series and it had a lot of these features including the multi disc changer, i didn't have the phone though. Wish I still had it ......good content thanks

The kidney grille on this car caused a stir because it was so big......

If that's the score given to a big luxury car I wonder what kind of score my car will get which is unfamiliar with the word luxury and is 30+years old🤔

This V12 came out in the 1980's and was the FIRST German post WWII V12!

@ 10:24 when my dad bought a five series from the same period he was totally impressed by the "crazy computing power" of this thing

Jaguar had been building v12 saloons for a decades when this 7 showed up. Jaguar was better in many ways, better wood, leather and smoother ride the xj40 also had two lighters in the back but was cramped in the back. The first 7 also had vents in the back and power rear seats but the was not a heated option

Didn't the 750i have a massage function in the front seats?

The square shaped exhaust pipes and the big grill kidneys were also signs for a 750 model.

S- SCHNEL...S-english lenguage its -FAST- working faster ..

It was designed to cruise at 200 km/h all day long, in comfort

750 had square tail pipes. Tool kit location meant that tools were accessible even when trunk was full with luggage. S switch for wipers is not intensive clean, it is for Scheinwefer or Headlight flush system. Why not show the beautiful analogue instrument cluster, stylish and classic. And superior to todays silly xbox looking stuff

Stop slaying it. These cars are well better than modern ones.

Intensive cleaning is probably operation of the headlamp washer/wipers aswell as the windscreen wipers. I'm pretty sure that's what it is.

fast forward to 19:12, you can see the engine dripping fluids.

fuckin nankang tires---seriously!!!!!!

It has rear electric seats too

"You would just sit at 200 miles an hour" I THINK you meant 200 kilometers per hour, considering this car's top speed was 250 km/h.

the infotainement came also up in my 635 Csi build in 1985 so it was includet far earlier :D And all Engine hoods opens this way for BMW cars since the 60's so no special for an BMW too.

Still a great car

THIISSSSSSSSS

At 19:25 something is dripping underneath the car.

that little panel was called "board computer" thats why you would see and find "bc" on some models even in the USA

I think (pretty sure) S on the stalk meant cleaning headlights

You are, The first car guy I started watching!

you are so naive ... naive born american

What an impressive interior!

How come no one talks about code feature on bmws of this era? I honestly think this should still be a feature on cars today. Keep your teenager from joyriding your car even if they get the key 😉

Is it sad that this bmw Is packed with every technology I need. Every single one. Nothing fancy or extra

Your here for a comment on a Less Doug Demuro video and the oreo comment is at 11:34. Your welcome

Headlight washers very fragile often broke off in snow and freezing temps. In later years BMW recessed the washers in bumper to avoid this problem.the wheels were a bitch to keep clean due to lace pattern. Rocker switch backlighting failed often. You had to replace whole switch as bulbs were not serviceable. Lol. Switches were 100 dollars each plus labor to swap out.lol. Like paying 200 bucks for a bulb.lol.standing joke was every service visit cost 1000 bucks back in the day.lol.

This guy is awesome!! I truly enjoy his videos. He's allowed me to check out dream cars from different decades that I wanted to have when I was younger.

This guy dont really know anything about bmw i can see now 🤨

try pushing the "s" then pulling the stick backwards or vice versa. i think u need to press both "s" and pull backwards to get intensive cleaning.

the list on the car phone, wasn't that the speed dial list? :D

the front seat could be pulled back to see how much space in the back. cup holders have never been anywhere before

So the V12 7-series gets the same acceleration DougScore as the Unimog dump truck...

Is it really excited to be here or is it leaking oil at 19:27?

True BMW. Dripping water all the time 🤣

But Doug in reality it’s just chassis codes. Not because people are enthusiast or anything. It’s just proper

Leno

There's one poped in Los Angeles nice at 3000$ @#livenridela

4 speed? i cant believ that!

What's also interesting is that the launch of the E32 caused that the W126 Mercedes S-Class became the longest model in production of all S-Classes (and still holds this record). The W126 also still is the most sold S-Class of all time, making it the most successful model for Mercedes

Geweldige auto / Tolles Auto / Great car.

wonderful car

This is a great car and it deserves a better score. Sometimes Doug doesn't know what he's talking about...

Had a rich uncle who had one of these new in 1988 after years of driving Devilles & Park Avenues. I was in high school just getting into cars at the time remember spending hours admiring it. He used to allow me to detail it and drive it in his driveway. He replaced it in 1992 with an Eddie Bauer Explorer vowing never to buy another BMW due to the depreciation. LOL

11:33 someone please take this out of context

I've never really subscribed to the "bigger rims are better looking" opinion and hate when I see old cars with huge modern rims on them, they just look awful.

11:33 Doug out of context

I have always found headlight washers on its own pretty useless

Obviously not a BMW guy, are you?

I learned to drive in one of these. It was a big, heavy beast and it was so damn cool!

19:26 is that oil ?

Shit review

One of the quirks and features of Doug is he constantly reminds us of how old he is by pointing out "oddities" that anyone 10 years older than he is knows were typical in the day. Such as a place to write important phone numbers on a phone.

Japan ruled the world in the late 80s when the design and manufacture of this car occurred to deliver it by 1990.

Actually, the very first cars were electric, am I wrong? 100 plus years later we are using volts again to power 4 wheels?

That thing is leaking the brake fluid Doug, be careful with it!! 19:26

Doug, what car have you ever seen that has a coolant dipstick? This car's coolant reservoir is the same as every other car's, but it's just located in the middle of the rear engine bay.

if i had the money to buy a brand new modern cheap car id buy an old second hand luxery car

actually it was toyota that started the luxury v12 thing

07:18 - Why "S" means intensive clean of the front window ? We have to check the German language, where "Schnelle" - means fast, faster :D

We need a "THISSSSSSS is a" compilation.

The badge letters being connected wasn't to save money per badge, it was to save time when assembling the car and to make sure it is always straight. The door storage was made like that for coins for autobahn Tolls. Not to just fill a gap, nothing on 90s BMW's was because. It was always for an actual reason.

Waiting for w223 review from Doug...

BMW 750iL E32

Yeah, things have moved on, BUT..back in the day, we used to KNOW peoples phone numbers... Nowadays, i can barely remember my own! Heheh.

Fun fact regarding the E32 BMW: It's the first car ever to sport xenon HID headlights.
