    e23 735i 204HP or 218HP

    Hey Guys,

    I have found some euro e23s with 150kW (204HP) in the papers and some with 218HP. Can't find any information about it. Maybe pre-facelift M90 had 218 and post-fl M30B34 had 204?

    newer 735i had 4 speed auto transmission and older pre-fl had 3 speed, right?

    Both the M90 and M30B34 had around 210-218hp in the papers. The closest one to 150 was the 733 with 144. Ive heard that the papers in europe vary quite a bit. Especially of the car was imported or brought back to another country.

    quick update: it turns out there were 150kW MOTRONIC 735i versions. Probably in last production years. Mine is a '86 model and it has 150kw in papers. And look what I found in the service manual

    fun fact: It turned out that M30B34 with Motronic and 10:1 compression were available only for Swedish '86 E23 735i and '86-'87 E24 635CSi models Had to read their forums to find this out.
