Sea wind tends to cause corrosion and that's why offshore buildings need special paint to prevent it. As the car is not designed to handle sea wind corrosion and especially being left there for a while, some of the metal parts tends to corrode over time. It's very apparent that UK AP cars have this issue compared to Japan's. I remember my U.K. Spec E60 and upon jacking up and inside the engine bay, you can see plenty of corrosion.Nevertheless, radiators and stuffs will eventually fail so if you intend to drive the car long enough, no harm getting it replaced.
