Thanks for posting this video

[AdamAus85]

Interesting review. I've always loved the shape of things from the get go, along with basically all BMWs from the 80s and 90s. Thanks for the vid.

[heateslier]

yes an example of a Gunnar Heinrich

[jwatwater]

German Buick? stoped watching there. respect gone.

[patrick51515151]

When I was young and dumb I was driving a 84 733i 5speed at 75MPH with no seat belt and a old man in a early 70's F-150 going the wrong way hit me head on I never seen him coming he came from over the crest in the hill. The old man and his passenger died on impact the passenger was over 100 feet away after flying thru the windshield.  I walked away with no injury. Since then I have ONLY driven old BMWs

[Pintac87]

As exciting as a German Buick? Does this fartknocker realize that the E23 came out in the 1970s and that it was considered a damn good looking car? Even today, I love its BMW-ness. Its styling screams BMW and nothing else. Wish I could say the same of today's BMWs.

[jwatwater]

@Pintac87

yesssssss. so much BMWness

[modiinbuchman]

i think this is a very strange review

[rocaloro]

any body knows a scan tool to read malfunction codes in 1982 BMW 733i?

Thank's.

[DEWESNE]

@rocaloro

There is no way to read codes... car is pre OBD. Join bimmerboard or bimmerforums for some help. The E23s are comically easy to troubleshoot and repair. I currently own four.

[Jerka126]

I think this Bmw model is one of the most beautiful they ever made.

[iphoneguy2012]

oh thats how that fag 88mph shit got started

[Ivanko60]

german buck ajjajjajajajajjajajaj that is good.......volvo 242 turbo for life!

[3150lilwayne]

it's so beautiful design

[frnkndafunk]

It's all very true. I own this car today. However the one I have is an automatic. The automatic has a button at the bottom of the pedal that is an automatic downshift for quick acceleration. My wood is cracked and dry as hell also. It's not magic. Great review. The song is appropriate too. This car does not want to go 30 or 40 mph it wants to "break free" at around 100-110. Still only like 3k rpm. Gave me 24mpg from Tucson Az to New York City and back just this last month. (June/July 2010)

[serglazz81]

I have a nice '87 735i (e23) for sale. 118k, no rust.

[viesulis111]

that japenese stereo spoils interior, get original!

[faisalabulaziz1]

from were i live only few parts can be sourced...some need to be ordered

[Mockingbird5150]

does anyone know where this was filmed?

[GunnarHeinrich1]

@Mockingbird5150 Avon, Connecticut

[Masikoira]

GTA Sentinel !

[KingCast65]

It was much faster than 118. My 533 and 535 were Car & Driver timed to 135mph Love old BMWs

[zalew]

@CT1722

[jomo0581]

@CT1722

Straight 6

[R5alive]

This has to be one of the most boring long winded crap auto review videos ever made.

[ispyder9]

RWD?

[cheezgrated]

Rear Wheel Drive.

[quacktackular]

i never topped mine out. i hit the 155 on the speedo but wasn't redlined. had to take off my catalitic converter tho and had a glass pack connected with straight pipe to a flow master exhaust so it sounded like a muscle car lol

[SpotterShooter]

i got an E23 733i off craigslist for $2300. this vehicle is fantastic. i regularly outperform contemporary domestic and Asian Import cars from a dead stop. its true, the longevity and luxury of this auto make it a collectors item. not such a bad car to have for a road trip as well.

[jfv65]

like this was the first BMW sports saloon. NOT! before the e23 BMW built the e3 (Bavaria): it got engine ranging from 2.5L to 3.3L, the most sporty version : 3.0Si (manual gearbox), the most luxurious: 3.3Li (auto box)

These underrated BMW's drive like a big BMW 2002! very sporty chassis.

Even before the e3 BMW made sports saloons: the 501 V8 (Baroque Angel), it used the same engine as the famous 507 sports cabriolet.

[KingCast65]

True true true.

But nothing drives like a tii and I cannot believe I don't have one anymore, long story.

[jwatwater]

Ahhh, the pre-Bangle BMWs, a think of beauty.

Im not sure why he keeps on saying things like this was the only flagship luxury car out at the time. The S class has alweighs been around.

I miss those shark like Bimmers.

[bimmer425]

yea the e23 has its fare share of problems i have one im trying to restore pricy parts

[b03y]

My dad just bought an '84 733i...so many problems lol

[Jason733i]

Any 25 year old car is going to have problems. Very few 25 year old cars are worth the effort to fix. This is one that is worth all the time and money.

[HAWKEYE8430]

I have this exact model but I can find parts any where , I need to know where I can find body parts and etc.

[HAWKEYE8430]

mine is also automatic and Im also not sure if its an 83 or 84

[vicedetective2]

The old E23 7's were and still are beautiful cars. I own two myself, a 79' 733i and a 85' 735i. They may be old but they whip some ass on the road! :)

[yelkin2]

Amazing....I wish my 735i was running right now. If anyone feels like talking E23s, email me...I have an Italian imported 735i stick that I've been looking to get running. I'm in Chicago so if you're an enthusiast and live in the area, email me!

[jogga123]

Where can I find more BMW videos with history,and america for the most part ruined imported BMW's,be it the bumpers or the hundreds of pounds of emissions equipment.

[KingCast65]

Good stuff. My friend's father was an owner of BMW/Volvo/British Leyland Cleveland back in the days when all the foreign stuff you bought on one city block. Mercedes was 500 ft. down the road.

I'll never forget when the E23 and E28's came out, I've owned several fivers and a tii and until I get a mid 80's 911 the BMW is the best car in the World, overall.

For the money, there is nothing better.

[AKAbimmer]

I like the "diving board" bumpers. I have them on my 87' E30. They do look kind of ridiculous when you concentrate on them, though..

[scottarmstrong77]

All the visual appeal of a German Buick? That's unfair. Buicks looked like 70's cars well into the 90's! At least the E23 looked slightly newer than it's design date.

[mac1trooper]

Great Great Car's but cluck me them bumpers are shocking and let the poor car down so much.

long live the e23

[motorreport]

I came back to this excellent video after a 2mth break. I still love it! I want more Automobiles De Luxe videos too!

[AKAbimmer]

A smart and charming video! I wish My Bavarian grandfather had one.

[ansonivan]

Nice job guys, Clarkson should be dead in another ten years given his current diet...

[sgtunix]

Very nice video. The presenter is very talented, he should do more of this stuff...

[wickahead]

Sweet jacket! And shades too. Nice production value and appropriate level of satire. Left me smiling, wanting more...

--Mark, an e28 owner

[1984AP]

One of the best videos I've ever seen on an E23. Amazing work. I'm in the process of creating a documentary on my 533i. Sweet car and production!

[LX12SQ]

Neil, good job, nice work on the video, very cool, and interesting car choice as well. see ya around in class.

-Brandon

[flybuckster]

Nice Job Neil...loved it! Keep em coming...

Dad

[franktztvw]

[litchfieldgreen]

[peterzpicts]

Your production quality is awesome! Cool old car though!

[jamesdisnow]

Fantastic! Written beautifully, love the soundtrack, and great work with the editing! I'd like to see more from you guys.

[dantecesa]

awesome video...

as a proud owner of an E85, old classics will always have a place in my heart... :).

[mw717]

nicely done!

[R0xx1tIsMyNameDammit]

Niccceeee.

[sklosed]

Brilliant. The first 8 minute automotive video that has kept me enthralled to the end. Nice work folks!!!

[arwinho1011]

I like particularly the "dentist"-comment.
