    Default Back in a '98 - Aitch's BMW 750iL

    As a lot of you know, I recently moved to San Diego for a new job. I knew I was going to be buying a used car, so when I came across this 1998 BMW 750iL, I really couldn't pass up the opportunity of getting into a V12. Plus, cars here don't rust!!! Although it's not in mint condition, it is very good, and the previous owner had kept up with maintenance.

    Here's the car the day I picked her up:



    The seller listed the following recent maintenance:

    • Intake manifold gaskets (all 12)
    • Fuel injectors (all 12)
    • Spark plugs (all 12)
    • Primary air pumps (2)
    • Secondary air pump
    • Radiator
    • Cooling fan and shroud
    • Belts
    • Hoses
    • Window regulators (all 4)
    • Tail lights and lenses (Right and Left hands)
    • Vacuum hoses
    • Passengers side low beam head light
    • Lower control arm bushings
    • Coolant tank
    • Coolant temperature sensor



    For under $4000, I couldn't pass it up! The owner said it may need new shocks in a year or two, which is not horrible, they can be replaced with non-SLS shocks easily. I don't believe the EDC system is working, I don't notice any change when I switch it on, but luckily the shocks aren't super-hard as some have found when that is wearing out.

    Next up, my to-do list. Then some more photos.

    So, my to-do list, which I made up in the first week of ownership, and have been slowly attacking.


    • Proper clean inside/out
    • Clean engine
    • Re attach driver-side rear outer door trim
    • Re-fill coolant (low coolant warning)
    • Replace front control arms, alignment
    • Swap front seats for sport versions
    • Repair front kidney grilles (broken tabs, hopefully will stay put)
    • Passenger headlight - color is off. Cloudy lens.
    • Replace trunk struts
    • Replace upper windshield seal/strip
    • Replace HID bulbs
    • Install H1 bi-xenon housings in high-beams? (Already have these)
    • Glovebox latch (stuck closed)
    • Side mirror panes (delaminating)
    • Paint driver's door handle (lots of scratches)
    • Driver's door card replacement if possible (slightly worn leather)
    • Headliner, pillars (headliner is sagging)
    • Replace rear passenger window shade frame (missing)
    • Re-dye rear deck carpet if it's out (fading from sun)
    • Fix front cupholder?
    • Wrap wood trim w/dark wood or brushed steel vinyl
    • Gauge cluster rings
    • Upgrade speakers/stereo/navigation
    • Smaller steering wheel - no more bus steering wheel

    First up - cleaning. The engine needed it. This is after:



    The cabin air filters had never been changed:



    The HID bulbs were getting foggy:



    The passenger side projector is still cloudy, I may try to clean it or swap it when I disassemble them. The plastic inner lenses are yellowed, and I've got a set of mini-H1 bi-xenon projectors I might add into the high-beam housings, so I'd have dual projectors per side.

    The original comfort seats weren't in bad condition, but these sport seats were even better.



    Swapped the 750iL wood seat backs onto them:



    I also replaced the engine air filters, which weren't too bad, but it was cheap.

    Just before I purchased it, the previous owner had some new clearcoat sprayed on the roof. Didn't do a great job, it's not really that glossy, and I'm not sure they properly masked off the windows, including the sunroof. There's this residue that looks like it was wiped while drying, but never properly removed.



    It was worst on the sunroof, although there were bits of it on the rear windows as well. I tried everything to get it off, window cleaner, degreaser, abrasive polisher, nothing. Then I remembered you can actually scrape windows using an Xacto blade, so that's what I did yesterday. Success! Finally got it off.



    Still getting the edges perfect. You can also see it coming off the rear side window:



    Now, about those tires. I new the rears were a little worn, but I didn't give them a thorough inspection. My bad, last week I got a blowout on the freeway doing 85mph. The inner sidewall blew out, and also took out this brake pad sensor at the same time:



    So I replaced that, and since the wheel wasn't in great shape I jumped on a deal for a new set of 19" wheels. Luckily I have a full size spare for the rear for now, although the tire is 235 vs 255 on the other rear side.

    Current living room:



    19x11, +25mm for the rear, 19x9.5, +22mm for the front.

    Rear test fit:





    Pretty close on the inside.



    There's actually lots of room on the outside it looks like. Might add spacers at some point. Current plans are for 275/35R19 tires at the back, 245/40R19 at the front.



    I had ordered some rear tires already, Nankang NS2. Unfortunately I clicked on the wrong size, 275/35R18. DOH! The upside was it showed me how narrow the Nankangs run. So I returned those and have some 275-width Achilles inbound.



    I don't mind some stretch, but the above would be too much for me.

    The next big item is replacing the front lower control arms. Although the previous owner said the bushings were replaced, it still has a shimmy at 65-90mph, and under braking at 60-40mph. I don't trust that the control arms were done properly, and apparently they're always the major culprit of these problems, so I have replacements on hand and it's going in on Thursday to have them replaced. If the problem persists, I'll move on to the center steering link and tie-rod ends.

    If you lived right on the coast, and only drove there, you might get some rust. But even then, the cars aren't getting exposed to a lot of salt or moisture. As a whole, the area is very dry, and of course there's no salt on the roads.

    Wheels look great.

    Cali cars totally rust, I've seen it but like you said only right by the ocean they rust up something fierce.

    San Diego is about the lowest earthquake-prone area of SoCal. The San Andreas fault turns east and runs inland from Los Angeles.

    Which means we won't get shaken to death, but we'll have a nice island when it cleaves off from the mainland

    Muffler isn't required for the smog check. As long as all the emissions equipment are still intact (which they are) it's fine.

    A muffler isn't an air pollution device. It's a sound pollution device.

    Yeah I'm following both on Instagram. I thought the MILFBAGGR had been sold, but he's still posting it. Dom's is really nice, I love the interior he put together. I thought I was the only one who had dreamed about a Rolls-Royce-type LED starlit headliner....

    Sup y'all. Here's some updates from the past months.

    Lucked out and found a 3-spoke M-Sport wheel with the appropriate single-stage airbag locally - the later 2-stage airbag style is much more common.


    Took two days to finally got the stripped torx bolt out that was holding the airbag on my original steering wheel. After that it only took 15 minutes to install the new wheel. It doesn't look that much smaller than the stock bus steering wheel, but that half inch or so in diameter makes a world of difference.








    The leather is not perfect, so I may consider redoing it in the future. But for now it's so much nicer to drive!




    Also replaced the orange corner lights with smoked ones.


    Before



    After






    Still need to clean up the inner headlight lenses at this point.


    That wheel gap is ridiculous. Picked up some new ST coilovers for a used price.





    Awaiting new strut mounts for them.


    Lastly, installed gauge cluster rings.

    Still kinda annoyed, because I bought some black brushed vinyl to use around the gauges and steering wheel controls. But you can't easily separate the front clear plastic on the cluster, nor could I quite get the buttons out of the steering controls to wrap them properly either. Frustrated by that.

    Default Re: Back in a '98 - Aitch's BMW 750iL

    [Jeremy Clarkson voice]: Alright, current SitRep:


    Front ST coilovers are installed. I need to set time aside on another weekend to tackle the rear, which involves removing the entire rear seat/rear deck and also deleting the self-leveling suspension (SLS) in the rear. Ride is currently very good, and I am still clearing speedbumps with impunity. I think they can go down another 0.5-1", but I had to set the spring perches a bit higher to clear the wheels. Didn't realize it is common to run spacers in the front with coilovers, but luckily I've got room under the fenders so some 10mm spacers are inbound. I am not going for absolutely slammed on this ride (sorry).


    Once the spacers show up, and I get the rear coils in, I may experiment with going a bit lower. The rake I have right now is actually perfect, but I want to eliminate a little bit more wheel gap - but that is also dependant on ride quality, and being able to clear speedbumps. Not only the ones in my complex, but my daily commute is over some 10mph speed-calming bumps, and currently I'm still driving over those like I was before. I really want to strike a balance between agressive ride height and not having to crawl over everything. I'm not opposed to having a ride height essentially like this if the driving experience is markedly better.











    Now, that freshly washed paint looks pretty mint right? From a distance, yeah. But the majority of it has some degree of significant swirling, with some marring and waterspots. The roof clearcoat doesn't look particularly glossy (I think it was re-sprayed right before I purchased it, but cheaply). And a large bit of the clearcoat over the driver's wheel bubbled and chipped away.





    (the driver's side fender is also a bit faded and has a spot of clearcoat ready to fail from the sun)








    I know the best answer is re-spray. But I scored some sweet Arlon vinyl on close-out, so later this spring the car will be getting a new color (still refined and classy IMO). No spoilers yet though.






    Now, today's project - cleaning the headlights. The inner lenses were very yellow. I tried Heuristic's method using OFF spray to clean them up. They're not perfect, although they look pretty good in pictures.


    Before:








    After:





    I also installed bi-xenon projectors into the high beam housings, since I had them lying around already. They are not yet wired up, but when they are I will have dual low beam projectors, while retaining the high-beam functionality. I'll just need to code out the high-beam bulb warning since the high-beam wires will only be connected to a switch inside the bi-xenon projectors.


    The passenger side (which the previous owner replaced) unfortunately still puts out significantly less light than the driver's side, even after the cleaning and new D2S bulbs on both sides. I'm wondering if it's the silver layer of the inner reflector being cloudy, because the projector lens itself looks pretty good now. Luckily the extra projectors will make up for this in the near future.





    Result





    The remaining news is parts gathering. One of my rear ashtrays is badly chipped:





    Now I have some wood vinyl samples inbound, because I'm going to wrap the rest of the wood trim. Lots of it is cracked, and the majority of it is a cloudy mud brown color. Yes, I could have it refinished, but I want to modernize it a bit. I'm thinking something a bit darker and matt. We'll see what the samples look like. But I actually think the wood ashtrays look out of place - like the designer just sprinkled as much wood around as possible.





    So when I spotted black leather ashtrays on eBay, I jumped on them. These will be much better:





    Also, like most original headliners, mine is sagging:





    I'm most likely going to re-do it in black, so back on eBay I found black grab handles from an X5 (not leather, but oh well) and black cloth visors (again no leather, but 10x cheaper).





    And just to sum up, here's my running to-do list:


    Done:



    • Clean in/out
    • Clean engine
    • Re attach door trim
    • Re-fill coolant
    • Repair front kidney grilles - repaired broken tabs
    • Replace trunk struts
    • Replace front control arms, alignment
    • Muffler delete
    • 19" wheels, tires
    • Replace front seats - Sport seats
    • Smaller steering wheel - M-Sport wheel
    • Gauge cluster rings
    • Clean inner headlight lenses
    • Replace HID low beam bulbs
    • Install H1 bi-xenon housings in high-beams




    To-do



    • Glovebox latch (stuck closed)
    • Replace side mirror panes (De-laminating)
    • Driver's door card replacement if possible (slightly worn leather)
    • Re-upholster headliner, pillars (sagging headliner)
    • Buy rear driver-side window shade frame (missing)
    • Re-dye rear deck carpet when it's out (faded)
    • Wrap wood trim w/dark wood, brushed steel etc.
    • Replace upper windshield seal (wind noise)
    • Speakers/stereo/navigation - speakers are actually very good
    • Coilovers - front installed, rear to-do
