Name of the Car in The Transporter

E38 735i. I'm not sure if that model was actually made, but if it was, it would have only been offered in Europe, and it would have been available with a 5-speed. I know the previous-gen 7-series was made available as such.
 
Looks like there were many versions offered in Europe:

750iL: 5.4L V12 + 5-speed auto (326hp)
740i/iL: 4.4L V8 + 5-speed auto or 6-speed manual (286hp)
735i/iL: 3.5L V8 + 5-speed auto or 5-speed manual (235hp)
728i/iL: 2.8L I6 + 5-speed auto or 5-speed manual (193hp)

Drool: E38 740i Sport w/ 6-speed manual!
 
Jesus Christ, can you get us the design specs and detailed drawings of this car also? Or do you just like showing off you useless car knowledge?

WTF are you being so critical? I'd say 90% of the people here have "useless car knowledge" and for the people who love cars, it's not useless. I bet you got as much useless knowledge about playmates of the month dating back to when you were old enough to care...like last year!
 
Yeah, you go on attacking people who are passionate about cars and see how far you get in this forum...hope you like remaining a n00b forever!

Like attaining a status other than n00b is a priority in my life. Post count and length of time wasted on the forum are not how I measure mine or anyone elses worth.

Uh? The hell is your problem?

It's not like he pulled all that out of his ass. He was obviously researching.

Though, I could be wrong. 😛

Yes, as in that picture, I feel like I'm being attacked by a lower level species with a pack mentality.

*Gasp* The n00b has skill! Impossible! http://www.student.smsu.edu/s/san232s/hardfunnypics/n00bgeorge.jpg
 
Yeah at first I thought the car was a 5 series, never have I heard of a 7 series with a stick - but then I got a better look at the exterior and I just assumed it was something only offered in Europe 🙂

I remembered from the movie that the Transporter uses a "735i" and I knew from seeing it that it's an E38 7-series. I've always been curious about that car's true specs, so I googled it and came up with this page. So, it was mostly research.
 
I believe the car was the protection model. I believe the desgnation for the protection model was L, as in 735Li. Not positive though.

The protection models come with bullet proof windows/tires and other security features.

L does not equal "Protection." L = long wheelbase. There is no letter designation to my knowledge for Protection models. And I doubt they would have used one because of the increase in weight would decrease performance.
