welcome aboard... nice ride... was this car driven at all? at almost 10 years it has under 50K? wow!!!

since you are in rochester, and the car could have been in the same area (was it?), you may wish to consider flushing the engine for the cheese-whiz build-up... you can do seafoam, but i prefer liqui-moly engine flush and the auto-rx method - gentler on the engine...

how do you know about the roof cassette? is it formal BMW assessment or is it real diagnosis? read up on the forum, some of our tricks are not approved nor endorsed by the official BMW-corporate...

as a technician for them, you might be restricted about what you say, as your word may be construed as an admission of a corporate guilt (but your honor, a BMW technician admitted that the plastic window clip is faulty!!)...

of course, we love to quote an actual technician but just be careful - at 20, you might not have had an encounter with the nasty corporate world...

on a better note - the truck is a steal at that price, bought from a BMW dealer, with that mileage!!! you will love this thing!!! the stem valves - about 30 to 50K miles out, which is from a year to 5 years from now...

again, welcome aboard!!
