**** traction control, the first thing i do when i get in a asc car is turn that **** off, even when i have no intension of smoking the tires, it ****s with the car too much, and sport seats can be bolted in :D i do want to find the throttle bodys they used, they look familiar and would solve one of the things i didn't want to add if i decide to build a v12 e34, i like how they used a v8 car with it's remote brake booster instead of converting to the crappy hydroboost system

...no thanks!

**** traction control, the first thing i do when i get in a asc car is turn that **** off, even when i have no intension of smoking the tires, it ****s with the car too much, and sport seats can be bolted in :D I guess my point was you can turn AST off—if you have it—but it's tough to turn it on if you don't! I don't have summer cars and winter cars. I just have BMWs. And the sport seat comment was more related to the other expense put into the car...why the hell not find some damn sport seat to really finish the car off properly? Shows me a decided lack of focus. They were building a conversation piece rather than a driver's car.

If you want to find more about the car, ask Korman.

And I can see a lardass owner keeping the comfort seats, although I want the sport seats.

i don't have the bank account to talk to korman, i copied the pic's for further study if i build a v12 powered car, at first glance they kinda look like modded m30 units

I forgot I've been working on my own BMWs (and visiting salvage yards for parts) since I bought the first one on May 14, 1971. But who can remember that far back? :(

where are the desktop quality scans of the comely young lady!??!

I posted one in the original thread for this ebay auction,
and now, to my dismay, it appears that post doesn't exist.

I am over 99.9% positive I posted the desktop quality version of the girl & car to the original thread for this ebay auction. I remember posting it because somebody else mentioned the girl I think.

This is actually really annoying me, could the moderator who deleted my post tell me why the post/picture was removed, yet winfred's signature is ok? Because if a moderator did delete my post with that picture, I would really like to know why.

If I never posted it, I need to see a doctor about the pink elephant sitting next to me as well.

um, ok. upon further consideration, i see that there are only two/three cheesecake pics from that item. my bitching will cease. and furthermore, a quick lookover of my desktop finds a file that matches the description of the one you said you posted, and its dated within the last week or so. im curious as to why somebody would take it out, unless they thought it made the thread NWS. the avatar/sigs can be turned off if one doesn't want to look at them, threads can't be, i guess.

Didn't see your original, but I did edit my post to turn the huge image into a link to it. I didn't scan it, it's from the auction links. You most likely got fired just for general screwing-off on company time, not because of a girl with more clothes on than she'd have in a Sears newspaper ad! ;)

i do want to find the throttle bodys they used, they look familiar and would solve one of the things i didn't want to add if i decide to build a v12 e34, i like how they used a v8 car with it's remote brake booster instead of converting to the crappy hydroboost system
You are working so much on BMW and you didn't notice that E34 and E32 are mechanically near the twins? Mate, what's wrong with you? ;) Check the parts catalogue for 540i and 740i and you will be very suprised. This engine swap is so easy that I really dont know why it is not more popular.

I hated the sport seats in a car I used to have. I'm not fat.
Six liters, thats what the McLaren motor was as I recall. Anyone know the bore and stroke?
Never mind it's in the copy.
20 gs seems a lot for an elderly E34, but this thing must be a barrel of monkeys to drive.

forward of the firewall they are the same car under the hood, the biggest thing with the v12 swap is moving stuff out of the way of the huge motor like the brake booster and abs pump, unless you want to try to find a real small diameter vacuum booster from a jap car and make it work your choices are hydro boost like a 750 comes with (which i hate) or build the remote booster set up that v8 cars have (740/540/530) into your car or start with a 530 or 540 that already has the remote booster behind the head light. the other thing i don't like is the eml stepper motor throttle system
