E32 you say?? BAM!

This exact car got me into BMWs and cars in general. I remember wrenching on it when I was real young with my dad in the driveway, still do too. Just swapped out the driver's fog light tonight!

Same here brother. My Dad's 1990 750iL got me hooked, then he decided to give me his old 735 with nearly 300k on the clock. Oh Lord, that 735 was such a tank.. I really miss that car

I will have to dig up some pictures of the old 750, when you popped the hood to look at the color tag it would say "BMW-Sonderlack" meaning "BMW individual".

Your Dad's 735 looks amazing as always Stathi. Is that picture with new lowering springs installed?

Here are a few of the old 735 I mentioned..


Talk about a good wax job?


Notorious front fender-wheel gap..


Now they are both gone to new homes. I think the ZHP has changed hands at least 2-3X times since I sold it last year!

Yup, that is the H&Rs in the front. Stock LAD in rear as most E32 guys leave it. Actually looks good and drives pretty good. But I had bought him the rare H&R kit for the iL for Christmas, we will swap the rear in the next couple weeks. He was just so excited to take it out of storage last week. He has been driving his truck all winter. Goes from the 735iL and M6 in the summer to just the truck in the winter. He gets depressed haha.

any chance he's interested in S38B35 swap? I know where to source a fully functional M6 motor for him

E32 ///M7 FTW!

I had mentioned it to him in the past, but he actually just had the entire M30 rebuilt last summer at BMW! No expense spared on that car haha. He goes all out, very very OE+. He's owned it since pretty much new (couple thousand miles on it when he bought it in 91.) If it came down to it, he'd rather part with the M6 (which is insane haha! V10+6 speed manual+catless RPI exhaust=) than the E32 haha

well... I'll keep my eye out or a B36 or B38 Euro motor.

Convince your dad, just tell him 400lb/ft NA...

See that's more like what I was thinking . But I think he likes the 7 more original-go to dinner type of car and his HP thrill he gets from the V10 in the M6.
