    My 1995 850 glt has a problem which are the brakes. When they are depressed
    they go almost to the floor. check brake fluid, all good, no lights on dash.
    Does anyone know what it could be. Am i looking at a major money fix?

    Bill, it could be the master cylinder. Also, maybe there is air in the
    system. I would try bleeding the brakes a bit - make sure to get Dot 4
    fluid to top it off. Master cylinders should last a long time though.

    If your pads are worn real bad, it could cause the pedal to travel
    farther, also your calipers could be leaking.
