I wish they sold it in the UK.

3.9 V8 twin turbo producing 245 BHP and 530 NM torque.

Also 28.8mpg

I think it was like the E23 745i where RHD wasn't possible - or easily done.
There was a 4.4 variant in the E65/E66 745d with 330bhp and 750NM - same power as the 745i only with 300NM more torque....

They did the E23 745i in South Africa which was right hand drive though can't remember if it had the M6 engine or 3.5 turbo in it.

The South African RHD 745i was the M88 engine, as used in the M635CSi.
The German LHD only 745i was the M102 3.2 / 3.4 turbo.

"The South African RHD 745i was the M88 engine"

could also be optioned with an auto box too

I could be wrong, but weren't all the production German 745i's auto too?
