Many in Europe run on LPG, especially Poland, Netherlands and Germany.
And of course they run on Biodiesel oil as there are many BMW with diesel engines.
Here is even a V12

Shogun,
Great! There are M30 730i and 735i conversion too in the same website.

it also mention about possibility of explosion as below:

Note that any LPG system relying on a single point mixer will fill the inlet manifold with mixed gas and air which is potentially explosive. If anything causes the mixture to be ignited in the manifold (e.g. misfiring due to poor ignition, leaking engine valves etc.) 'Backfiring' can be the result. This risk is very low with carburreted engines, as there is little to be damaged, but much higher with fuel injected engines. It is therefore crucial that any vehicle to be converted must have ignition components right up to par, no air leaks into the inlet manifold, gas tight engine valves and other service items such as air filters in absolutely first class condition.

Would 1988 730i fall in the above category? Hence can be dangerous? I believe 730i mixture is happenning at the head (combustion chamber), and only air is inside the manifold???

Maybe you ask people on the U.K. board, which have actual experience
