That would be rad af.
Jim can't wait to see the headers go on. Is the bump in power for the m62 with headers similar to that of the S62?

I can't wait either, I'm pretty sure I'm going to send them out to get them ceramic coated inside and out.
Yes, it will be bumping up the powah, that's why I'm doing it. Will need to get the tune for them too.
Those 750's don't make a whole lot of power do they? I know of 2 for sale for under $5k right now.
That high pitched V12 exhaust note is intoxicating, and that one seems to be in great condition. Congrats!
Well, remember a two valve cylinder head doesn't really like to scream like a four valve cylinder does, so the M70/73 being a SOHC 2 valve heads they don't rev a lot nor can they rev that quickly as any I6 or a V8 engine. The advantages to a SOHC engine is that they have few number of valvetrain parts, therefore can run smoother and quieter, with the combustion geometry they can make great amount of torque at low to mid end rpm range. They don't breathe as good as a high revving DOHC engine can at upper end. If I were to own one of these engines I would try to do is put a nice sounding muffler/exhaust on it and maybe get a DUDMD tune on it to make the engine response more lively. Or I may just leave it stock and enjoy the lazy torque of that engine.
nice. reminds me a bit of the first 20 seconds or so of this..

DUDMD has an Estorilblau 750 that is to die for!
I know. I bet RVAE34 will try and get a tune from him for his new E38.
He should! I'll be making the drive up to WA in the spring for a tune.
The v12 is smooth af for what it's worth. And has a super neat acceleration sound. It'd be cool to hop on up.
Turbos.
Two of them.

Few people have done twin turbo E30 V12 build and made over 1k hp and 1k ft-lbs of torx.
Got my first scratch on my new paint from an overgrown bush in the driveway... Can only notice with a flashlight at about 3 degrees of view from the ground up so it's invisible BUT I KNOW ITS THERE!!
As I was typing that there was a large black dude rocking an ///M t shirt better than I've seen anyone rock it (black one), waiting in the line I had just ordered food from and was waiting for said food when I saw him... I said "nice shirt" as I walked out with my bag of food, I wanted to snap a picture it was just a beautiful site, but that would've been really fiendish
Maybe your scratch is just in the clear coat. Try to buff it out, might work.
Tonight at autobody class I fixed the 2 mega rock chips on the pass side A pillar. Primed and painted it, still need to spray the clear, will do that in the garage probably tomorrow.
His car is actually not estoril. But close. And yes, I plan to get his tune.

PPI on the 750 was no beuno so I am still on the hunt.
What color do you intend to go this time? I know Ms RVAE34 didn't like the blue one.
My dream E38 would be 01 alpine/black low mileage 740 sport but I know how rare those are.
