    You don't want to know what parts for that thing cost. And, with 225K on the odometer; I'm guessing it will need a few. We just dumped our last 745 last week. Good riddance.

    One of my clients has a 91 740 that I've driven a time or two. It's only got 26,000 miles on it.

      They were talkin about the 750il.
      Got the V12. Sorry guys i have a couple 3's and lov'em.

      But Reb's right with that milage somethings very exspensive could go wrong.
      Quick little tidbit. The last 2 numbers of a bimmers designation are the displacment.
      So a 740 is the 4.0v8, 750 5.0 v12, etc..

        Those are the no liner Nikasil engines.... I wouldn't touch it. Give me a BMW with a multiple of 6 for the cylinders.

          92 M50 (non-vanos)
          Limited run, 8-9 months, Dual valve springs, big cams,coil on plug, good till 6,700 rpm.
          It's rumored that it was the test mule for the 95 M3, obviously the bore went up to 3.0
          Shares the same intake,and fuel delivery system.
          Biggest disadvantage, bigger cams 1,200$, OBD1,Exhaust parts are rediculous unless
          you make your own,since it has such low numbers it's hard to
          find parts that are reasonable



          Kinda what your talkin, I buy these everytime i can. I have 3 extras for my two 3's
