Any E38 otai's Still in The House?

[adam_ikmal]

Hello everyone, am curious since the e38 topics have been relatively quiet for a few years.

So I want to know anyone here left (especially the otai's) because I just got myself one and would like advice on how to maintain this Wonderful Beast of a machine..

Also to talk to fellow bimmer owners and because I finally got one..

So, cheers to all. Would appreciate and welcome any reply I can get.

Not otai... but we can share experience / information here

 

[F10 CREW]

Yes ...sharing is caring indeed. This was the advice that i got from our wise Otai Adam :

1. Which E38 model has the least problems?
728i, cuz if you factor a car that's within Malaysia, 728i has the least problems and if it does, the parts are easier to find.

2. The common problems, that I can think of right now is, abs sensor, asc/dsc, electric seat 'twists' some sensors here and there...

3. Average maintenance cost?
Normal oil change and service, not that pricey, sometimes cheaper than e39

4. How's the drive and performance ?
Super smooth, super responsive, quick and can top speed like nothing..

5. Comfortable?
Not as comfortable as newer models for 7 series but still very enjoyable, very relaxed.

6. What's the last year model for the E38?
2001
