I forgot his back is old fucked up.

How about a 1979 Ford Thunderbird

Didn't necessarily mean that model, but that car specifically. The one linked above is better. Still like the Audi better.

No way. M45 knocks it out of the park. I don't think it will end up being on the short list, but those are really cool sedans.

I believe though the 7 series long wheel base is the iL, you can get a standard wheel base 740i.

Yes, the L stands for that. But pretty much all us cars were long wheelbase as those were v8 and v12 specific.

I actually like this. Any known issues?

The northstar V8 is known for head gasket issues, but the issue was mildly resolved in 2001 when they started using a bigger head bolt. They can still blow, but not as frequently as the older engines do. I have done the job, it's 20+ hours and runs about $800 in parts, you have to timesert all of the head bolt holes.

The fact that it's a 4.6 mod motor would scare me.

Is it a 4 valve at least?

I hope you're joking... The northstar 4.6L has nothing to do with the mod motor. Fun fact though, the design was influenced by the LT5 that went into the ZR1 corvette.

they like to blow head gaskets.

This.

Intake gaskets too, no?

Nope, thats the 3.1/3.4/3.8L.

Yup, The 750iL was the v12. IIRC it had 330hp. I know the 4.4 DOHC V8 in my 740 had 282.

The M45 has 340. Pretty impressive jump for a same class car of the time.

Yeah, the SWBs were available, but in the sport model and had no performance upgrades from the LWBs aside from gears. Only difference was weight, luxury and length, the ILs were 5.5" longer and weight, 740i 4255 lb, 740iL 4288 lb. I think they also had a higher numerical diff ratio also.

The SWB also had a different steering wheel. That's how I got banned on bimmerfest. A bunch of dumbfucks that didn't know the difference invaded my for sale thread and accused me of lying about mine being a real SP. Still not sure why I was the one banned over that stupid shit, but the board invasion that followed with all the dictator names registering was pretty entertaining.

Hahaha, sounds like BF. I barely post because of the opinionated retards over there.
Anything that differs from their idea of the perfect bmw is suck and deserves to be shitted on.


Fuck them


You should have seen them freaking out about a dude converting his e39 m5 into a 520i sleeper.

they mad.
