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!!

I heed your warning lol, thanks and yes it was here all its life, i am the third owner, short story of it was the first owner had it till 16k over 2 years if i remember correctly and second owner till me @ 48k,
- I have flushed the engine used a method of my own actually, i used 3 bottles of oil additive/ cleaner and drove the piss out of it and then changed the oil, came out darker then night.
- as far as the cassette i diagnosed it myself on my own time from experience, the rear glass was stuck in the vent position i had to remove the glass to push the cassette back and then re-installed it in the closed postion, if you can imagine walking on a cracked piece of glass that is 10ft off the ground without falling through that is what it is like in there
