Also ran the OBD II scanner and "No Codes". I'm at a loss. I topped off the radiator fluid I drained out in the first step. I am running cool so the thermostat is 'open'. '02 X5, 3.0, 115,000 miles.
Never mind. I read further and saw step 8 reference a Bentley manual for radiator removal instructions. I ordered a BMW Tech Manual from e-Bay. DVD should be here in a few days, that should cover it! Also fixed the check coolant thing by reading another post about the bleed screw. Topped up with another 1/2 gallon of antifreeze so I should run cool till next weekend when I do it again.
