Hi Dave,

Apparently there's nothing major to report in reliability terms, but with a car as complex and reliant on its on-board electronics and diagnostics as this, we'd recommend an AA check (or other detailed inspection) before you buy. A couple of hundred Euro well spent. The 730d does go through brakes apparently, with a disc change needed every 30,000 miles even with very gentle driving.
