Concerning the Long Chassis, the only remarkable difference you can "feel" while motoring is the 0-60mph launch...these 0.9 secs...now unless you care about extracting every horse out of your e38 i dont think this should be a worry... oh, and 1 more thing... i just discovered recently that if u ever wanna change your rear lights to the bright 2000 model ones, you can only do that on an iL...coz theyre around 2mm wider... (that's a catch)

Apart from that, i think you'll be 1 of the 675,000 98-iL owners who's smile is gonna change for quite sometime... Enjoy !


I don't think the performance difference between a 740i and a 740iL is .9 seconds 0-60. The acceleration between the two should be virtually identical because there is only a 30-40 pound weight difference between the two.
