^Oh, ok. All is good over here. : ) By the way, this is a very old thread! I still have the car, it's all modded out and the way I want it. : )

How?

ACE, you must be located in the UK? I am in the US, so how would we get the work done?? Or could you just sell me parts? By the way, the transmission is an automatic. I do plan on running 21" wheels both front and rear. Turbos are cool! I have a Ford Diesel Powerstroke and love to hear it...

Thanks waynne, I have always wanted to own a E38 7 series. Now I have a project! I just can't leave things stock. Gotta do all those performance mods. Sounds like ACE knows his stuff too. I love these forums because you get real answers on what works. A few tricks and secrets are also...

One more question. If we take it up to 600 hp, how would the transmission hold up? Rear differential? I have never owned a BMW before and don't know the history of their drivetrain. I see a lot of BMW 3-series 800-1000+ horsepower, and a guy can't help but wonder how are they keeping it all...

600 horsepower!! Wow, that woud be a lot of fun. How much is that going to cost?? It all just takes money. I can save for whatever you suggest. ESS wanted around $6000.00 for 411 hp. I kind of figured that there were other ways to build these 4.0s through a different underground. I pieced...

I am curious if anyone has built a 7 series, preferably an E38. I have a stock 1995 740 IL. I am going to do performance mods. Paint, wheels, exhaust. I have always loved the body style! mcallister

Yeah, sounds good. I have been looking at ESS tuning. They say with their performance upgrades, I can get 411 hp out of it. What do you think? I am interested in high performance injectors, coils, spark plugs, cold air intake, exhaust, front, rear spoiler, side skirts......and wheels...

Cool, I will look forward to what you come up with. I am looking to repaint, I guess I want to completely restore the car. Interior I will leave alone since it is near perfect. mcallister

I just purchased a 1995 BMW 740 IL. I bought from my neighbor. It is completely stock. I just had a service done. Man, those BMW dealerships are expensive! It has 120,000 miles on it. I just had the rear door seals replaced, valve cover gaskets, powersteering hose replaced, rear tail...
