Thank you for your help
AVOID ANY V12 at all costs! be it BMW or MB. A 750 will eat your lunch on electrical issues. It has 3 computers than can go bad, and do, a LOT. Check the depreciation and you can see it in action.

If you like the sedan, get a 740, the 8 cylinder is a MUCH better engine. There are someyears where they had major issues, I would have to ask my BMW buddy which years. A 1991 126 car is as good as it gets from MB sedans.
