Pretty dumb if you ask me as EVERY other BMW I have ever seen has a coolant warning light + sensor at the bare minimum.


M54 has a level sensor at the bottom of the expansion tank, just like the N62.
They do have a low coolant warning like the others.

If the water pump impellers took a shit. The coolant won't be pushed thru, and that's how shit gets blown.
