Restoring my 1999 E38 735i

[M-technik-3]

Nice, was not aware of a 3.5L variant of the M62 was expecting to see old M30B34 in it. NA never got a 3.5L.

really? :-O in europe there was a 3.5 M62 and i believe even 3.0L M60 in pre-facelift version
i think it was too small for NA market :-D so you guys only got the big ones

We had the small ones here in the US too for a short time in the E34 530i, never in the 7 series though.

Long time no post, since i was focusing more on the property, and the detailing jobs, but i am finally back in my E38 restoration, moving on with the underbody, and the rear axle/subframe. I want to have everything from the bottom done and ready, so i can finally drive it without much worrying :-)
Here is the latest episode, i removed the exhaust, all the heatshields, and all the parts around sills and underbody, refreshing everything i touched :-)
