  of the 745D. In fact, I don't even know if the Steptronic auto from the E38/E39 will handle the 745D and I don't know if I could somehow mate up the box from the E65 to a conventional lever as on the Steptronic 'box - I doubt you could adapt/replace the steering column to take the E65's little switch thing
