Hi I own a E38 740i 2001. Have been looking into haveing a LPG coversion Done, Been quoted about £1500.00. for full system, this seems a fair price (about average). Any one run a 740 on gas ? can you tell me what are the draw backs if any ? has it caused any problems ? is it worth having done ? Will it affect the resale price? All replys welcome. |

I have an E32 730 with the straight six with an LPG conversion (done by a
previous owner) - it's the old fashioned style which dumps a gas into the intake - it's fine but can be a bit temperamental (just as well I don't mind getting my hands dirty!!!) - the newer style injection and sequential injection systems are a lot more reliable as I understand it. |
