A Radwood-era BMW that’s rather unique: a factory-turbocharged BMW 745i.
Sold only in Europe, the turbo 745i was powered by either a 3.2-liter inline-six mated to a 3-speed auto or a 3.4-liter inline-six backed by a 4-speed auto, depending on the year.
Although the seat leather has seen some better days and the paint sports a few blemishes, according to …
Such cool cars, and even though it's a 7 and they're "big", these cars really aren't that much larger/heavier than my E28 5 so dwarfed by anything BMW now for our market.
I originally meant this as a joke, but maybe it’s not now that I pulled up the numbers.
There’s a new Nissan Altima sitting in my driveway–review/live thread coming soon–but let’s look at the tape.
Nissan Altima length: 192.9 inches.
Euro-spec E23-chassis BMW? 191.3 inches. (The U.S.-spec car checks in at 197.4 inches.)
The Altima has a longer wheelbase: 111.2 vs. 110.0 inches.
I know, right?
I didn't even know this existed, which makes me want the car all the more.
I've known a few guys who've owned them, including one or two that did a manual transmission swap. They're cool cars.
