I suggest not getting a '95, the 4.0L's had issues. When I was looking at E38's a few months ago, I found a nice '95. Everyone on Bimmerforums told me to stay away from the '95s because of the motor issues. They fixed the issues when they produced the 4.4's in the later years. That's why I kept looking and found my '98.

"The 1995 E38 used an aluminium block with Nikasil plated cylinder bores - nickel containing silicon carbide particles. Unfortunately, excessive sulphur from fuel reacts adversely with the nickel, causing very slight blemishes in the top few millimeters of the cylinder bore"
