If any of you on the east coast happen to stumble upon a 1982 or 1985-87 BMW 735i with a 5spd manual trans for a not stupid price post it up here so I'll know. I'm trying to keep an eye out for a parts car so I can manual swap my 745i but I'm not having much luck.

Just came here to say that this plan is 100% approved by me.

Just in case you were wondering. 5spd 745 gets my seal of approval.

my fuel tank is fine but my radiator has cracked at the top, my friend plastic welded it when he owned it though. I have another 745i radiator waiting to go in.

They have a project section in their classifieds, but I just checked and the newest car in there is a '66 2000CS, then a 507.

If it isn't already. It was up for $5k a while ago, but I guess they didnt use it and the turbo got seized and who knows

I can see why that combo is "rare".

I'm curious how they determined its seized, if its simply not making boost that could be a number of things.

A bit late, but I stumbled across this on CL today and remembered somebody was looking for one. http://pensacola.craigslist.org/cto/4740511151… A bit vague, but it says it's a manual.
