More, More, More: 1991 BMW 750il Supercharged 6 speed

The installation of a 12 cylinder engine into the BMW E32 was big news and actually caught Mercedes flat footed.  What if you have thousands of dollars to burn making a V12 even faster?  Today's feature is the answer of that exact question along with a substantial list of other modifications that are not normally associated with the luxury 7 series car.  The six speed manual conversion is just the cherry on top of this sundae.  Find this 1991 BMW 750il  for sale in Alpine, NJ for $6,500 via craigslist.

Left Foot For Clutch: 1998 BMW 740il 6 speed

The big boy E38 BMW seems to get better and better looking with age.  These pre-Bangle designed cars were the last classically designed sedans that have excellent proportions.  The USA 7 series never came with a manual, but today's feature has had a 6 speed installed from a E39 540i sport.  The listing mentions some extensive exhaust modifications that should make this car sound like the devil's own chariot.  Hopefully, the aftermarket BC coilovers on the car can be adjusted higher as the car seems to be a little too slammed for the author's tastes.  Find this 1998 BMW 740il for sale in Deep River, CT for $7,000 via craigslist.

OG Elise- 1986 Toyota MR2 2ZZ-GE Swap

First generation AW11 Toyota MR2's used to be a common sight on  the road, but in 2018 they are rarely seen (east coast observation).  The folded paper wedge styling is more distinctive now now that cars have window sills up to your ears.  Nothing says 1980's like a set of pop up headlights.  The original 4 cylinder 4A-GE was a hell of an engine back in the day as normal and most exotic cars from this era could not sniff a 7500 rpm redline.  Today's car has a resto-mod 2ZZ-GE 4 cylinder and 6 speed trans swap into it to liven things up.  This engine was fitted in the much lauded Lotus Elise and revs to a motorcycle like 8600 rpms while making the better part of 190 hp depending on the level of tune.  Find this 1986 Toyota MR2 for sale in Glens Falls, NY for $6,500 via craigslist.
