740i has the M62 engine. M5 has the S62 engine. S62 is based on the same architecture, but there are a ton of differences between the two...

OK, some interior pics. It's unfortunately a little dusty now that the kids have been in it and I've been in and out of it a lot. But you get the idea.

Another I forgot:

Interior looks nice (as do all BMWs) but I'm really not too crazy about the blue color interior trim.

I love the blue in there! You don't see that too often, the last time I saw a black and blue interior was on a late 90s Audi S4, and it looked awesome! It helps that blue is my favorite color

I love the blue interior trim, that is one sweet Bimmer.

So sexy! I love that blue! Its like Mercedes 904 blue which is my all time favorite color, just a bit lighter which works on that car.

So now the question is what mods is she getting?

Alpina or Dinan can make that car really fast.

400hp is pretty good, but it would go like stink with 500-600...

Maybe an Eisenmann exhaust to make it sound filthy.

I think the interior looks *****. LoL. But, it may just be the color.

I like the black and blue colors...

That fine, you didn't buy the car, LOL!

Different strokes fellows. Different strokes.

Personally, I think the colour scheme is beautiful. Pics with the Canon instead of my Blackberry would probably have shown it a bit better.

I think the color scheme is awesome!

It's certainly a unique color combo. I would personally prefer alcantara over leather as it feels nicer and looks more sporty, alas, I don't think that was even an option on this car.

Great car!

A few more I snapped today after a wash and wax. Was at my parent's place visiting my sister.

 

[Colt45ws]

[censored] yes!
I love your car.

/me steals the M5

 

[Drew99GT]

What a car!

I remember looking at one a while back and admiring how the intake system is perfectly designed to suck cold air from behind the front bumper.

Yes, under the hood is a work of art.

Unfortunately found out today that the crankcase breather hoses are both pretty soft/rotten. Will be ordering replacements tomorrow. Already ordered a few oil filters for it.

Veedubs, and most Euro cars, are made that same way.

I didn't mean to sound rude... I just don't like the interior color. The exterior looks pretty nice though!
