There are a number of sealants out there. They all claim to fix blown head gaskets, cracked blocks and even the common cold. In over 30 yrs in the business, I have yet to see anything that works. BMW engines are not inexpensive. Don't mess with it. Likely you will only do more damage. I know the repair won't be cheap, but at least it will be drivable afterwards! Good luck!!

Check your engine oil...you know...do an oil change....this way you are only paying for oil....if you have a blown head gasket....don't worry about the filter.

    I forgot to tell you....look for radiator fluid in your oil.

Labor time head gasket
it is not only the replacement of the gasket, they most of the time need to flatten the head. That will cost. If the head is not flat, you will most likely blow out the next gasket to, within a few miles.

White smoke coming from rear on 2003 745i
Could be your cylinder head gasket has blown. Check your water and oil, have they mixed and are the levels down. If so you need to replace the gasket. Don't run it again until you're sure. It could wreck your engine.

My 745i has gas and batterty power but it will not start.
The 2002 BMW 745I has a recall when the gas goes under a third of gas it will shut off and not start cause it thinks it has no gas. You can call BMW and they will check if your car is on the recall list and you can get it fixed for free. Or they told me to just take it to the BMW dealership and tell them.

I have a 2003 745i BMW Transmission
Check the fluid level in the tranny. If that is good try servicing the tranny with a new filter if that dosen't work I would think that the torque converter may be acting up.
