Jim is right the early Euro was a different bore/stroke than the US version, but that is when we had the 733 (3.2 Green Engine). The later Euro 3.5 has the same b/s as the US 735. The differences as Jens said was that the US car was the Green version with 8.0:1 compression and 182 hp/136 kW and 213 lbft/290 Nm, O2sensor and catalytic converter. The later Euro 3.5 had the same hp as the early 3.5, 218 /160 kW and 228 lbft/310 Nm, and 10:1 compression.


Hi,
On my 86 735i,ABS was standard and the catalytic converter and its 182 hp as well!
That's because here in Switzerland we where the first europeen country to have obligatory catalytic converters on new cars already from 1986 on...
So also here in europe the very late E23s were 182 hp versions as standard for us or as option in Germany or France for example.
I hope that helps, Afshin.
