The beemer in question is a E38 (year 1995-2001) if I remember correctly they said it was a 1998 or 1997

Thanks again,

I place my 740 in quite a few car shows here in Germany and I was thinking of playing The Transporter while at car shows now

Its an E38 (1995-2002) generation 735i, i do not recall if they mentioned the specific year or not though. We only got 740 and 750 those years, i'm not sure what kind of engine the 735 has, but maybe its a small V8?

ladies and gentlemen or what ever u may be, i have the answer the BMW used was a 1998 BMW 735i, with manual transmission, black on black and BBS wheels, it featured a V8 with 235 HP and goes 0-60 in 7.6 seconds, warning, only sold in europe

If One Would Be So Inclined To Watch The Bonus Material On The Dvd "the Transporter" Jason Stathum Comments On The Statistics. That Car Is One Of A Kind Manual Transmission, V12 !!!!!!!!! Very Very Fast The Actor Replied And Fun To Drive. Most Of The Stunt Driving Was Done By Him As Well As The Fight Scenes!!! He Also Drives A 850 Csi In The Movie "the Italian Job". It Seems He Has A Fancy For Our Loves As Well. Oregato

The 850Csi Jason Stathom drives in the Italian Job is pretty damn nice.

Then it would be a 750i. Why replace the 735i V6 engine when they couldve had the 750i.

i don't think they made 750i's... only 750iL's.. and those were automatics.

[TheScientist]

nah, things were way different in Europe wiht BMWs. Manuals were i think standard on the &'s, and teh Autos were optional in Europe. BUt they sure as hell made a 750i. here,

By the way, where did u get that pic in your sig? it looks familiar, like from one of my posts, or did u get it from the Mercedes-Benz US website? lol

[zyajzarc]

hmm.. interesting... 750i's with manual trannys... you learn something new every day.

And yes, my sig is directly linked to the mbusa website. I love the way the CL600 looks in this pic.
