The problem was primarily the Nikasil bores, but that was a pretty big problem:

If you can find one with the Alusil replacement engine, you could get a very good deal. I've always regretted not buying a mint '95 540i a few years ago. The car had around 90k miles, the new engine installed by BMW had about 6k documented miles. They're out there.
