The E38 740, 4.4 V8 tiptronic?

 

they recon close to 300bhp stock, just wondered anyone owned this specific model and what it was like?

 

This one seems a bit cheep too,

Yeh my mates got one i could leave it if one of my wheels fell off. :rofl:

Yes - I have a close friend that has one. They are very comfortable and reasonably fast but not match for a Z. They weight too much!

i had an e32 740 which was a nice car and used to be part of the seven series register. handles very well for a big car and is pretty quick. the e32 740 is quicker than the e38 due to weight. 5 speed auto's too, great box.

the one u linked too was a 95 so its the 4.0v8 not the 4.4. mine was a 94 last of the e32 models

I was up against one at the pod about 2 months ago.............I think he did a 18.2!!

 

Nuff said!

 

but if you go to have a look at that one, best gimme a call as its all of 2 miles from my house :D

Hehe perhaps you could take a look at it for me lol?

 

Well I change my mind like the wind you see, im now looking at getting a more family friendly car that still has some beef, and then later get a track car for some fun.

 

Problem is I cant think of any refined family cars that have good performance and I would like.

:duffer: Looks like a Tank to me :D

Hi Stevo

 

Family sized car with Z-matching performance?? Try a Jaguar XJR V8.

 

If you can stretch to the price, how about the S-Type R with the 4.0 (or 4.2?) supercharged V8 engine 390BHP... sweet :cool:

 

BMW M5 (latest shape) pretty good too.

 

Richard :)

Maybe not match the Z but one of the Scooby estate efforts STi'd up that'd be fast & good performance with 4 doors... & a SWB Z to compliment it ;)

M5 .. very nice performance ... http://www.munichlegends.co.uk/ ...

or a 540i quicker than the 740i and not the size of wales.

XJR....as mentioned above its a great fast brit of a car...go test drive one today
