Subject: V12 in an E34, is it possible? Author: rick540 : member since April, 2007 : 1110 posts Posted on: 2008-08-23 15:10:56

I am still dabbling with the idea of an E34 V12 550i, I've found several E32 750i possibles as donor cars.There are still some nagging questions before I commit to the build and can't go back....

1)Has anybody ever done this?

2)Could I get away with no ASC, but use the 750 cluster and engine wiring harness and modules, so all electrics work?

3)Would I have to cut the firewall or chassis?

I think a V12 E34 would be just awsome if I can get it right, but it would take 18 months to 2 yrs with the time I have available.
