what type of simple horsepower mods are being used to get a little more power without affecting daily driver qualities.my S500 will drop this 850I like a spider crawling on your hand.i know these arent race cars but it seems that there should be some untapped power in a v12.

good way of fast gain is to.
replace all vaccuum line
replace the distributor new dizzy
new sparkplugs new airfilter (OEM)
check the oil and the diff fluid
check pressure on fuel rail

Want more horsepower? Buy a used Z06!

The only "inexpensive" mod is a set of WOKKE chips (you will feel the difference), after that it is only money.

Best to the Point answer for V12 or V8 Power Increase Mod!

Definitely go with the WOKKE Chip. I have one in my 840!

And upgrade your Diff!

what i meant with mod is , get your car back to the horse power
it had when it was new. then you can start with all the other mods.
you can't feed a horse through it's a$$. start at the top.
once the car runs like it should, then you can get a chip and the muffler
and the cam shaft and what not.

and just like all the guys on this forum warn.. do not use a wet filter/a K&N setup. Leave the intake stock.

both vacume lines on the fuel pulse dampers on the fuel rail were rotten and not transfering any vacume source at all,what a difference in the way it runs.there dosent seem to be many vacume lines on this engine.im going to try and smog it tomorrow,any other vacume that im not noticing?.the drivers side o2 sensor connector was contacting the exhaust and cooked it pretty good so ill try to clean that up and hopefully pass smog.

and the cam shaft and what not.im a pretty good wrench and enjoy a good challenge.although the car was stored for years im lucky cause everything i have checked is new,fuel filters,plugs,wires,distributor caps,air filters and a brand new remus exhaust.im a happy camper!.i dont want to make this car any more powerful than it was designed to be.i was initially disappointed in the performance /acceleration but after getting the vacume source back to the fuel dampers the car is dramatically different.ill focus on working the bugs out and im sure the performance is allready built in by BMW.another question,should these engines fire up cold and run smooth or do they need to get to op temp to smooth out?

fire cold and smooth from the start

Unless the intake manifold gaskets are leaking....

Dont forget to put high octane gasoline only

not necessary for the M70 motor - actually a waste of money

fire cold and smooth from the start
ill start looking till i find the issue,ill see if i can get a change in rpm with a shot of ether in the intake/valley area.this engine drops a couple cylinders until it warms up.all the injectors are functioning but who knows if they are dripping/leaking or have a good spray pattern.the gas is 15 months old,it had a full tank and i didnt have a place to just dump 24 gallons of rotten gas so i thought i would try to run it out.ill probably play some catch up for that stupid decision.

injectors cleaned (ultrasonically) and pressure and flow tested goes a long way.
About $10-$12 per injector.

can i get to the hardware and simply check to see if they are loose on the intake manifold?or do i have to pull the electrical harness for the injectors?ive got a service manual for the 7 series cars that came with this the car.the previous owner said he got it cheap and the engines are the same.ill get the right pub soon.

higher octane made big change to my 840ci

840 requires 91+. Higher compression.

"higher octane made big change to my 840ci".

thanks Harry, but I actually do not advertise them on my home page (guess I should change that).
Just contact me via PM, email or support xbay and search for wokke_2000 - or just click chips in my signature below.

What is involved in the changing of the vacuum lines???

I can't seem to find the "part" on the OEM sight


Thank you in advance

I was trying to respond to a previous post...

I am just enquiring about the vacuum lines...
