Yeah, that's right, it was a Toyota 1JZ-GTE 2.0 DOHC 24v EFI twin turbo straight-six that was fitted to my neighbour's 728i.
The car's interior and exterior are in good condition ("daily driver" condition rather than concours). My neighbour and his family seem to love and enjoy their Japanised 728i, leaving their W126 Merc 300SE to collect dust.

Its been said that the 2.0 Jap turbo's will consume more fuel than the larger 2.5's because the BM body berat a bit. But if you really must, get a Toyota Crown instead. At least no rajak-king is involved and more upgrade options and also rarer! Let the BM remain a BM till the end!

I think the practise of plonking a Jap engine into a BMW suggests the thinking that Jap engines are more reliable and cheaper to maintain than BMW engines. On the other hand BMWs are more classy than most Japanese cars. Maybe that's why we have BMW-Jap hybrids: the best of both worlds!
In fact, I hear there are plenty of Mercs, Jags and Volvos with Jap engines.
