I had the same problem with my '92 740. It was a clogged catalytic converter. Apparently there are cone-shaped pieces in it that eventually break off and block the exhaust. It will be ok in the morning before the exhaust blows the pieces to clog the exhaust. The dealer (Crest in Macomb Twp) told me I needed a new transmission. I saw something about the converter here on the Brickboard and got a cheap one. 8 years later, still running.
