Wanna know any other solution & how much the estimate cost to fix it out please . Thanks all
The seal become harder after few years and not expensive may just few hundred, would happen again after 1~2 years, most cheaper method is close the ROOF COVER GASKET all the times.

Yes, when you compare the two with same milage.
Cause, the one that running in China is usually long distance every trip.
Local here, the engine temp always not even reach working temp per trip!!!

it was in very very very low millage, no china use.
Oh man!
That's a shame for BMW, for that little money to 5/6 years E66, especially with low millage.
The original price is as much as 1300K, depends cc and spec.
Translating 80% deprecated in 5-6 years.
Put it this way, we definitely can not buy a 2005/06 E60 or even a lux jap car at 20% of the original price!

fixing it is OK if the person can find the fault and fix it.
But with most of BM cars now days just dont know which parts are broken, a lot of them just guess and that gose with BMWHK too :thumbsdown:

Yes. That was over 1m when he bought it. When u see a jap van license 3363 in the parking. That is my cousin. It was a 750/40 b4. In gold colour.
Even u can find 7 series 2nd in the market worth nothing.
5 series is better
3 series is even better

Too much problem in BMW. They rather throw them away when it gets old.

as far as private motor vehicles are concerned, this is one of the best investments one can buy
