Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2004 model year cars.
- V8 Coolant Pipe Leak (N62)Serious
The front rubber seal on the aluminium coolant crossover tube in the engine valley degrades. Coolant leaks through the weep hole in the timing cover. While BMW specified engine removal, aftermarket collapsible/telescopic tubes allow in-situ repair.
- Valve Stem Seal Leak (N62)Serious
The valve stem oil seals on the 32-valve N62 V8 bake hard from high operating temperatures (105°C thermostat), allowing engine oil to run down the valve guides into the combustion chambers.
- Convertible Roof Sensor FailureModerate
On the E64 convertible, the complex electro-hydraulic roof mechanism uses multiple hall sensors and microswitches that fall out of calibration or break, halting the roof mid-cycle.
