In Reply to: M5 Engine in a 740i Sport? posted by James on July 21, 2001 at 12:05:11:

I'm adding on to my post..

I knew about the V12....but it just is under powered...since I think it has about 350 hp, and the M5 has nearly 400 hp stock

Also from experiance of searching the net for salvage cars, I know within a few months some idiot will have rolled or spun his M5 into a pole...just give it time and I know there will be an affordable M5 engine for sale (I just dont know where). If you find a salvage car usually you have to buy the whole car, in that case just sell the rest. Also, an auto is a good idea and I would prefer it for drivablity, but it kills some of the power, and power is all I'm interested in for now.......but before I even think about doing any of this I need some cash and a newer 7er (I own an '82 733i now)....


I only wish I owned a 740, better yet a Sport version, but I'm wondering has anyone besides me considered(or wondered about) putting an M5 Engine, and possibly Trans. into a 740i Sport? and if its been done are there any pics and performance #?

Thanks,
~James
