It may be reasonably priced to buy, but be prepared for a car that is very expensive to service -- even routine service.

This is MY perspective only:

The only think eating me up about my 1995 740i is the potential engine problem with the nikasil block. I love the car otherwise! Given that the 750 doesn't have the nikasil problem, I'd go for it of the price is right.

Good luck! :)

Have found a well cared for but 100K mile '95 750 for sale. Being aware of the numerous problems with the earlier E32 750's, and also being aware of the 'First Year Syndrome' with any new model, I am concerned that this may not be a car for me.
Any owners out there with any experiences good or bad? Any mechanical/cost insights to share?
Appreciate the info.
Peter
