Looking at a ‘22 m440i a few states away and have someone doing a PPI for me. 20,200 miles and two owners. Car looks perfect from pictures and videos, but anything I should have my PPI guy pay special attention to?

Check for coolant leak, near and around cap. Note if there is any dried up coolant underneath cap or on threads. This would indicate a coolant leak, which is known to occur for some B58’s.

Thanks man - I noted that to the guy doing my PPI and he ended up finding a coolant leak around the water pump. So the guy I'm buying it from ended up taking it to the Atlanta BMW dealer to be replaced under warranty. Appreciate your advice!
