Well, it's cool and all...but still an automatic! With an S38? Why?

[MTechnik540i]

Yeah, I don't get it...why not something more suitable....say an S62 matched with a 6spd

Regardless, sounds like an interesting swap...looks hot.

That is deffinately one of the nicest 7s ive seen
I wonder how that engine works with the auto?

[shogun]

know what kind of work is involved not only in the engine swap, but also smaller mods like the 4 exhaust pipes.
There is little space to get 4 exhaust pipes under the E32 body.
Some enthusiasts in Germany have experienced with that since more than 1 year and now the best solution seems to be a tailor made system with glasspacks. The diversion to the right side is usually done under the bumper.
Have shown some pics last year on roadfly of such an installation done in Hamburg.
Also the white rear turn lights are not available from the shelf of any after market company. Only 2 sources: 1 in Sweden

or the ones done by somebody from the German 7er.com in his garage.
