95 740il guidance (archive)

Hey folks, Need your guidance and input on 95 740il 47K miles, can buy for $ 28,000. It DOES have the nikasil
BLock, no symptoms at this time. I have read via this board that the problems usually do not start until 80,000 miles or so. Any input on how many 94 95 7 and 5 series blocks had this problem ???
ALso looking at 3rd party service contract from Dimensions and Gen Motors. Need your valued input on both service contract providers and any gut feelings on the possibilty of the problem with the nikasil block showing up later down the road. I am 1st time BMW owner so I want to make it positive. ALl input apreciated

Roy
