I wasn't  beating my chest about "5 series is better". Just it has the  
same  engine as a 740 does. I was just trying to point out that the  
750  may be a creamier ride but it is not necessarily a lot faster  
than a  740. I had a 1990 750, purchased new. I ended up selling it  
with  only 12,000 miles on it after 8 months because it was BORING. (I   
counted the other day, I have serially owned over 50 cars for   
personal use, not counting those for sundry wives, and rug rats - I   
am an absolutely promiscuous car slut).


If you drive a 740, you would be extremely disappointed.  I think they  are 
flat above 80 MPH.  I thought the E38 would be an improvement over the  E32.  
NOT!  I owned an E32 750.  We had the needle pegged at  170.  In my tag line in 
one of my last messages, I told Jim not to put a  speed limiter on my version 
of the software I'm waiting for.  He threatened  me the weekend that I 
cruised away from a state trooper to slow me down for my  own safety!  I'm not 
trying to "hot rod" a BMW.  I just want a faster  one while doing the same 
things 
it does stock - nice and smooth, and  yes, sometimes boring.  If I wanted a 
"hot rod", i wouldn't be using a  BMW.  I like my luxury cars fast in a 
straight 
line.  That's  all.
