There's a great selection of this car with less than half the mileage. Unless the price is absolutely outstanding, I would reconsider.

Looking at a 1995 740i with 200,000klms on it. Priced ok & is a one owner car with service history. No major work done like a tranny or engine block.
Any opinions on this model year regarding problem areas and helpful hints future problems.
I have read in the USA there was some sort of sulfur problem with the engine blocks from 1992 ---- 1995 V8 regarding metal corrosion. I think in Canada this is not the case with fuel mix regulations being different. The BMW factory recall on these blocks is up to 100,000 miles, I think.(160,000klms)

Any advice would be helpful.
