but i love e38s. this is a way to make it viable to own one.
yes, i do know it will cost more, a lot more, than an e30. cant find e38s just sitting in junkyards. but if i can pick this car up for 2k, and its in reasonable condition. im doing it. its my FRIENDS dad. not my dad.
anyway, it all depends the condition of the car when i see it.AWD > RWD

still makes no sense...you'll spend the difference you might save in mpg to do the swap etc.. leave the 740il alone or sell and buy a prius and turn in your card.Mtech1 v8 build thread - https://www.r3vlimited.com/board/sho...d.php?t=413205

tell you what, i'll trade you my 91 tercel for the E38. the tercel gets 47mpg if you drive like granny, and 38mpg driving it like a stolen rental car.

Just as a reference, my e34 525i with the m50NV gets about 21mpg combined, and only about 26-27 at 100% highway driving. And it weighs around 600lbs less than the e38...
If you want better mileage with great comfort, buy an e39 525i with the m54b25. 30+mpg is a cake walk with that car.
