Attached is the reservoir tank now that it's out. Quite an impressive crack if I do say so myself haha.
Sitting in my garage waiting for Amazon to bring me my new one.
I'll check the fan clutch once the car is drivable again. Thanks for the tip!
What's worse is that my display in the gauge cluster is unreadable. The car "dinged" and I dismissed it initially. Then within seconds it dinged again. I carry a really really high power tactical LED flashlight on me at all times. You could say it's because I believe in the 2nd Amendment and that's just how I roll, but the truth is that I carry it because I have a 2006 BMW LOL. I've discovered that shining my LED light at my gauge cluster will allow me to read whatever error message it pops up.
When it said Coolant Temp High, my first reaction was "the sensor must be broken." Then I saw the coolant gauge maxed out. Still thought something must be broken. I stopped the car in the parking lot I was 5 seconds away from, popped the hood, and sure enough it was smoking.
The last overheating car I had was an 88 Camaro, and when that thing overheated you'd KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt. Apparently the E53 doesn't spray the coolant directly onto your exhaust manifold so I didn't see any smoke lol.
Hopefully the fan Clutch is ok. I already have a driver door window track to replace that I don't feel like doing.
