I have a 525i 5 spd and the only reason I fell in love with the e34 instead the e30 is the size, i love big cars. And i was looking at a 96 740iL and I was wondering if any of u have experience with this car and if it was possible to make it into a 6speed manual transmission from a 540i 6spd, if any of u know the estimate price and where that could be done please let me know.

That car is insane!

To think he was on his way to buy a Ford instead....

Try this link. My brother and Simeon drove that beast to Austin for Oktoberfest last summer.

Has pics of the turbo and the 6 speed. If it won't work, I might have a minute to repost them on photobucket

If you're on a tight budget, creating an E32 735i 5-speed shouldn't be too hard, with a drivetrain and/or parts from a 535i. I believe there were even some factory 735i 5-speeds if one can be found....
