I just wish there was a simple way of checking "hole or no hole"!

As previously written by someone , it's probably BMW 328 gaskets
In my humble opinion , if engineers decided to add an extra hole circa the 6th cylinder ... I may reasonably think that it's because they had an overheating problem or they wanted to improve the cooling
Everybody is free to accept if whether or not it's important . But I have a tendency to trust in the experience of engineers who decided to make an extra hole
As for me , original gasket is supposed to be as it is in original drawings
Is it normal that no recall has been made ?
