Is this car dear to you? If so then be prepared to have a lot of $$ go to the mechanic who takes on the repair. The early E-32 750 is a nightmare to maintain and to troubleshoot and I recommend you consider this before continuing. First thing I would do is to run a short test with the proprietary BMW software and report back with the results. It may be a dead fuel pump(there are two) a vacuum leak, or a component failure or?
