I recently purchased a '93 740i. I have been told of some things to look out for by a mechanic that was recommended to me (like I have a leaky transmission seal where the cable enters the side of the transmission!) What I am looking from from the members of this group is what items might be common maintence spots on the E32. Any maintenance tips you can provide will be much appreciated!

Thanks.

One major issue is the engine block, and what high-sulfur fuel does to it.

You may want to check in with Brett Anderson, at http://www.koalamotorsport.com/. He is a professional BMW wrench, and has a pay-for-answers service.

He has a writeup on his site that describes the nikasil- versus alusil-treated block and high sulfur fuel problem on the M60 V8.
