Car Forum / BMW Cars / March 20061994 740Il no trans
Should I buy this car and put a trans in. Where could I get one ? What should look out for in a 1994 740il ? I heard of some engines that needed to be changed due to US fuel > Should I buy this car and put a trans in. Where could I get one ? What > should look out for in a 1994 740il ? I heard of some engines that > needed to be changed due to US fuel Is someone giving you this car? No trans - means you haven't driven it so you don't know what else is wrong with it? A 12 year old BMW - especially the top model 7 series is going to be a very expensive car to maintain - much less FIX. Since I'd guess you are on a limited budget - perhaps something like a KIA might be a better match. Inexpensive with a forever warranty. I wrote to this group to get some info. I like the 740il looks great and has the color and options I want. I like projects. I have talented mechanic that will help. I am getting rid of my q45. SO I know all about maintance. I believe this group was designed to share info, not to bash members of the group. Now abit out the KIA, does BMW offer maintance with thier leases ? I guess that is for wanna be BMW owners who can't afford maintence. I hate people saying that they have a BMW and it is a 3 series. at least a getting a BMW is the BMW standard. The reason I am getting a project BMW is because I want to fit with the best parts I can put it. I am looking for a trick tranny to put in. One that shifts great and cruises great. I will be able to hit gas pedal and corner at the same time. Then cruise down the highway for my 500 mile drives. And about the top model BMW I thought the 750 and 850 were the top cars. You are supposed to be the admin of this group ? www.q45.org does a great job. Maybe you should look there. John email me jjmitro@gmail.com > I wrote to this group to get some info.

You don't know how to spell it (maintenance.) Mebbe your talented mechanic does. I imagine he LOVES you if you hand thim this sort of project. It's pretty much an unlimited well of $$$ for him. > I believe this group was designed to share info, not to bash members of > the group. If you consider that a "bash" - you are very thin skinned. And Usenet "news" groups are not forums or lists and there is no "design" to them. Also no one moderating them - so if you're thin skinned.. Your initial message sounded like it came from a clueless 16 year old who found a junker 7 series and wants to make a runner out of it. You gave no clues that you know which end of a screwdriver to use, or that anyone you know does. It still isn't clear to me that you do, but we'll continue onwards anyway 'cause it's Monday morning. > Now abit out the KIA, does BMW offer maintance with thier leases ? I > guess that is for wanna be BMW owners who can't afford maintence. Are you going somewhere with this that makes sense? Maintenance is added to BMW's so they can SELL/LEASE them and so hopefully the leased cars they still own (when they lease them - they still own them) get at least the occasional oil change. No other real reason to do it. > I hate people saying that they have a BMW and it is a 3 series. A 3 series isn't a BMW? I'm confused.. you are gonna have to tell us what's a BMW or isn't a BMW. I really think that NONE of the cars are BMW's - only the motorcycles count. You have your (bizarre) standards, I have my (bizarre) standards. Does seem rather odd that you're a model snob before even owning one. Tell'ya what - I hate people saying they own a Rolls and it's only a Corniche. If it's not a Silver Spur it's just not a Rolls. How that? > at least a getting a BMW is the BMW standard. > The reason I am getting a project BMW is because I want to fit with the > best parts I can put it.

There is no "trick tranny" - there is ONE transmission that will work with that car due to the electronics involved and that's it. There are different sources for a rebuilt - from ZF themselves to the local garage. Pay your money and take your choice. (Actually pay ALL your money and hope it works when you're done..) > I will be able to hit gas pedal and corner at the same time.

Depends on what you consider "top" - I personally consider the Z8 top dog - but it's just a car. Really top model BMW is a K1200RS. > You are supposed to be the admin of this group ? Another admission of cluelessness. Read above about newsgroups. You've just entered the wild-west part of the internet. No holds barred. If you can't take the heat.. Oh, yeah - right! I'm the admin and I just tossed you out. > www.q45.org does a great job. Maybe you should look there. Since I don't drive and never would own a Q45 I see no reason to look there. Perhaps you should keep your Q ship. Sounds like you and it are a perfect match (meant in only the very nicest way..) > John email me jjmitro@gmail.com Not a chance. <jjmitro@gmail.com> wrote > Should I buy this car and put a trans in.

Go to http://www.koalamotorsport.com/article-m60v8.asp and see if the motor in the car you're looking at could be bad. FloydR > Should I buy this car and put a trans in. Where could I get one ?

I don't think there are any trick trannies unless you go somewhere like san fransisco. Some of the 4.0 engines did go bad. I hope you get this car cheap!
