[epj3]

Here u guys go

Um...thats different than the one you posted before...the engines are totally differnet. The engine in your first engine picture was the one they use on M5's and alpina's.

[CandyApple7]

Nope, not similar at all. Look at the intake!! they are TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

 

[CandyApple7]

the rears are 19 and here is a pic of my turbo.

 

[CandyApple7]

man u cant even see the intake and thats the bimmer with the cover off... the pics i just poster are the finished engine... or close to finished... that aint the pic of "my" car buddy... a pic i found of sumthin similar under my engine cap.

 

[CandyApple7]

Here u guys go

Candy..I thought you have a E38 7-Series? That doesn't look like an E38's engine nor engine bay.

 

[epj3]

I wish to inform you that you have a 735, not a 740

The engine you posted:

The engine a 740il has:

A 735i has:

Hm......lets play match the engine


And tom, thats why it doesnt look like the correct engine/engine bay.

 

[epj3]

actually THATS the engine you posted (e39 M5).

 

[CandyApple7]

actualy it is not... and no i have a 740il... i removed the cover and driopped the engine lower because all my stuff didnt fit when i tried to close the hood.... i had to tear apart the engine and drop it 3 inches to fit everything... that was the major complication... i had about 5 guys working on that over the winter and they had complications also... my engine is just totally redone... but when i bought it in 1997 at fields bmw it was a 740il...atleast that is what they sold me... im positive it is a 74oil...i have an appointment for my quarter mile run and a dyno test a corkrin track at 3:00 so ill let u guys know when i get back. And yes that is wha t i posted but the lid that says m power was off and when u take off the lid on the 740 they look similar.

problem is, that your intake manifold looks just exactly the same type as the one used at the 735. see, the 735 has the manifold right on top of the engine. the 740 has it at the front of the engine, the end where the fan is located. it surely is a hard piece of work to change those parts to the way they look now.

still with all those mods, i am really curious for the time you perform.

 

[epj3]

Trust me, you have a 735. BMW NEVER made 740's with engines that looked like that. *sigh*
