E32 735,750 question

[malik22]

Hi Everyone




First sorry that I dont speak german I live in the French part of Switzerland.My E34 M5's motor broke and im trying to sell it as is and im interested in the E32 my question is which engine is better and causes the less trouble the V12 750 or the V6 735?

This is a good question.
My experience with my V12 is mixed, but iam a perfectionist.
Let´s say there are a lot of parts double instead the R6 engine, but it´s also a question of the service (the main question)! There is not much space to repair some things around the engine, in this case the R6 is easier to handle.
My car was really spent as i bought it. Now i make an complete overhaul and iam very excited about the car and of course the engine.
My favorite is the V12 engine.
It´s better to drive first both engine and decide then what is your favorite.
Best regards from Germany,
Toni

versuch ich mich mal daran:
Zunächst Entschuldigung dass ich kein Deutsch spreche. Ich lebe in der Französichen-Schweitz. Bei meinem BMW e34 M5 ist der Motor defekt und ich will ihn so verkaufen. Nun interessiere ich mich für einen e32 und möchte wissen welcher Motor der bessere ist (750V12 oder 735 R6) und weniger Probleme macht...

(Ich denke er kann die SuFu nicht nutzen, da er die Ergebnisse nicht verstehen wird...)

How about the 740 V8 how does it compare to the other two?

[Bert730/6]

The 740 has nearly the same power as the 750, but it needs less fuel!
In general the 740 is more economical to maintain, than the 750.
Therefor the 750 has the smooth quiet V12 sound, which is simply fantastic.

Nevertheless the 6-cylinder-engines 730 and 735 are the ones, which are most dependable, and are easist to handle.

Thx for the help guys I know the V12 will be more expensive to maintain what i meant was does it give alot of trouble if i buy one whats the max km you guys would recomend when I buy a 750?

@malik: you should ask peter becker or wait till he writes an answer here. he has much information about the V12 750 i think, and although he is a gentle person who helps very nicely.

sincerely yours
