The 6-speed manual was the standard gearbox for the 740i from beginning of production all the way to the end.

Interior looks remarkably good for the mileage but 2.6s are 12V not 24, although they do have the dual ram intake like the 24V and are often mis-described as such.

I too would love a manual 740i - that would be a dream car for me Yeah, I still dont think a manual fits the E38 even remotely as well as the E39 but the novelty (and actual value) of a manual 740i would definitely convince me for the right price. I loved my manual 540i and still aim to get an M5 after finding a new house (some day...). The 735i and below only came with the 5-speed manual btw, similar to the E39 range. horriblemercedes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't driven an SVX yet (would absolutely love to) but the auto problems alone would be a reason to consider it. I'd probably like them either way. alcyonecorporation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volksy Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I liked those Mareas, being the 1.8 16v 4pot it means that timing belt replacement should be pretty easy, as the 2.0 20v 5pots advised that you pretty much had to drop the engine to do it.
