likely fuel or ignition issues, not that narrows it down much!  only thing (apart from the usual suspects) that i have experienced on the 7's i have owned in the past was the little carbon prong in the middle of the dizzy cap falling to bits - both on a e23 735 and a e32 750 causing intermittent running issues until they fell to bits completely. |

do they have the same in-tank fuel pump as e30's ? because they seem to fail in the manner you describe, mine used to fail to start sometimes, so I had to tap it with a small hammer to get it going. I replaced it and carry a spare now.

Is the fuel pump making noise? If so it's going bad and likely the culprit.
Failing that, is this car Motronic? Check the reference sensors in the bellhousing... Don't have a manual handy for resistance values but those can go bad and cause similar issues.
