'90 744 turbo 16 valve limited

[nordmaschine]

I think I might sell my 744.

Factory 16v turbo, 200HP - B204GT, no Cat version.
Factory M46.
Factory IRS with Locker.

I also have a complete M90 swap kit that could be included in the sale for an extra, unless I swap it in anyway before it sells.

Ground-up rebuilt engine some 10.000km ago, stock configuration, except electronic boost control has been bypassed, running MBC at 1bar and stock maps with fuel cut removed.
Turbo rebuilt by a specialist. I removed balance shafts - they weight something, they're useless and they have a belt that snaps and takes the real belt out.

5-puck sintered clutch, stock T16 pressure plate.

Has all the options excluding leather. Had manual climate, though, but I swapped ECC in with a 940 dash, since original was cracked and I've yet to see non-cracked 740 dash.
Got additional gauges and custom center-console in at the same time. Can be reverted to stock if desired.

Stock Hydra wheels on 205/55 R16's.

Locker works, diff is fine, OD works.

It feels quick.

It has approved "sequential" LPG system. With our 0.35-0.40€ prices per liter of LPG, I get about 100 clicks per 5€.

Rear nivomats have seen better days.

Front rides on a -1 coil set of springs, original springs are intact and can be included with the car, front shocks are fine.

Bushings in the front are fine, rears would need work I postpone all the time.

Front rotors and pads are new, so are rear pads, rear rotors have another set of pads life left in them.

New intank pump, screen, fuel hoses, filter, oil filter, oil...etc.

BMW M5 Hardy joint (guibo) for good measure.

New trunk struts, so it won't guillotine any more heads.

Left tail-lamp is cracked, I can't find a local replacement.

There's no rust on the car. Period. There's a ****-up ding between drivers window and door handle, from when I was pushing it out of the garage when I pulled the engine and hit garage door pillar. Battle scar, lol. I'm going to fix that too one day.

All "shadowline" trim is present and attached with OE clips, the way it should be, not glued or ziptied or whatevered in place.

There are some chips in the paint that have been touched-up to various degrees of success.

Headliner redone, it doesn't sag any more.

I'd rather not include tow-bar in the sales, unless really needed. I still have original rear valance without hole for the tow bar.

Original 740 odometer read around 280.000km before I took the engine out, the 960 turbo 16v cluster I put in after 940 dash swap that coincided with engine rebuild read 354.000km, it's now at around 365.000km.


There's a lot done to the car, but there are things left to do, and I have too many, too many cars.


I'm looking at around 3500€. Would prefer PM offers and inquiries, since I'll probably forget I posted this.

Very nice indeed. What a shame she is not an estate. Left hand drive I assume. And where is she?

[nordmaschine]

I prefer estates as well, but 700 sedans are nice, compared to 900 series at least.

Left hand drive, yes.

Located in Bosnia & Herzegovina.

There are planes, transport can be arranged, etc...

Too bad Evolutions were never built in RHD.


Thanks for good wishes...

How is it an Evo/homologation model?

If I had the money I'd fly out and drive it back!

Good luck with the sale - looks like a beaut!
