BMW 735i 3.5 litre V8 Yr 2000
We now have somewhat of a track record with BMW V8 engine conversions. The owner asked if we could convert his 3.5 litre 7 series.
The converted car's performance on LPG is very good, espacilly when it is 'on the cam' at 3,500 RPM. It is hard to tell which fuel the engine is running on. Only the day to day thickness of the owner's wallet gives a clue.....
Just about the only realistic choice for both safety and ease of access is to fit it on the lower portion of the bumper.
Now we have the new and smaller Romano injectors we can fit them under the original engine cover.
Eventually we decided to fit it in the upper footwell to the driver's left. It is a good position, easy to reach but not stuck in your face. This is important on long night journeys. The switch is seen here in the centre of the picture.
Pricing -
The BMW V8 conversion is very specialised. You won't find many firms offering to do it, and even less getting it right. We have converted several similar cars and have all the data recorded to do more. Romano 'N' system multi point sequential gas injection equipment is installed, fed by a 90 litre toroidal tank. None of the equipment we fit is the cheapest, and we make no apology for that. Quality is remembered long after the price.
The reasoning behind our choice of conversion equipment is fully explained in the item 'What type of conversion is best for my car?'
All owners report savings in fuel cost of at least 50%, some above that if driven carefully. It is very hard to tell when the car is running on gas as performance is practically identical to that of Petrol.
The conversion takes 5 days to complete (including up to 100 miles of fuel mapping and road testing) at a cost of �1950 inclusive for pre 1999 vehicles and �2000 inclusive for post 1999 vehicles.
We give 12 months parts and labour warranty and issue an insurance certificate with every conversion.
Before we can give a price estimate and book a conversion slot for this model you must read this item on NIKASIL lined engines. |
