    Hey Guys wuz up,
    out of curiosity how much hp is that BMW running and if you do decide to sell it what are you asking for it? I have a connection with a guy who only buys and sells German and European cars he may be interested.

    The BMW 750iC runs a 5.0L V-12 capable of pushing up to 348hp stock. I believe the torque numbers are relatively similar.

    750iC... definitely a thumbs up in my eyes. It's rare and unique. Minus matinence thats a nice car to keep around. The one bad thing is that its very heavy.

    But thats just a fellow BMW owners opinion!

    Joe dawg you disappoint me. 750iC??? There is no coupe or convt. 750! Its just 750i. That 850i pushes 296 hp and 332 lb/ft.
    Ron, you know my opinion. Granted more money for the Zs would be nice, but its a V12 baby. And with the Bosch engine management, you'll still get around 18-20 mpg. Yes, maintinence will be high if the car wasn't taken care of, but one trip and a full "Service 1" inspection will have all 12 cylinders purring like...well a V12 BMW. Then again, my opinion is obviously slanted. KEEP IT OR GIVE IT TO ME!!!

    hmm you know what I hit the wrong button, your right it is a 850... woops! I was typing in the dark earlier And I forgot that the 850 ran the old v-12 as well. the 5.0L 348hp was for the 750iL from 97-00. Sorry about that, i was all fucked up!

    I have some pics from when I bought it, but I'm gonna wait to post any until I get my Teins installed. Stupid UPS wont leave them without a signature and I'm never home.

    A tasteful balance of both. I basically want to take BMWs original motivation for their cars and take it all to the next level. The springs will be the last visual addition for my car (even though it does both visual and performance upgrades). From here on out, its all about posting some numbers.

    I have an Alpine head unit, and an ampless sub thats really just dead weight for now. I'm satisfied with the factory performance audio so I doubt I'll be doing much more. Yeah, hitting my target 300 to the rear wheel is going to be a bitch, but I'm not really in a hurry, so I'll take my time. Have you heard anything about Eurosport's twin screw supercharger?

    havent heard much, no. I'm not saying that I don't want to do forced induction, because I will eventually. But right now I find more glory is outdriving more powerful cars than mine. I'm prolly pushing about 230 to 235 to the wheels right now and I like the way it feels... could use a little more umph, I'd like to get it to 250 or so all N/A and then I'll take it easy till I boost it. Plus I like the reaction for the corners... response rather. I'll have to take you for a ride someday, just ask Jon, I made him jizz himself

    I remember your mods and I've ridden in other cars with similar setups, I know what you mean about response. The thing with the Eurosport twin-screw (I'd like to screw some twins) is that unlike the other compact S/C, the torque and HP curves are much more similar to BMWs original curves, just higher on the chart. Check it out, their page is www.sharked.com.

    Yea I've heard of it, I was trying to get on as one of their test cars... When I had my 328 I was setup as one of the test cars for AA's new S/C. I was getting it put on the week after I totalled my car.
