This factory service and repair manual for the 1995 BMW 750iL documents a naturally aspirated 5.4L SOHC V12 on gasoline in a four-door sedan, Base trim. Displacement is the first thing to confirm before any figure in it is used, because the engine sections are written to this V12 and no other. Twelve cylinders in two banks make most engine jobs a matter of performing the same operation twice to the same specification, and the manual sets out that order along with the torque values, clearances and diagnostics involved.
