It continues to be a wonderment to me as to whereinthehell the coolant liq "goes to" in Xs and many other BMWs...I'm back to topping up 6-8 oz of mix after every 1500 "trip".

My 18 year old Honda Hurricane 1000, with a coolant capacity of a <couple of qts., has not used a drop of coolant in 45k+ hard miles over that 18 years.

I was pulling out of a wine store parking lot today and a modded and fine azz 545 is sitting there with the hood up and the guy looking at a steaming radiator. He hollered that he had help coming and that "the sumbitch eats coolant". I said, "I heard that".

My X has "passed" three pressure tests, a new water pump, (under warr.), and gallons of added coolant mix over its 49K...BeamER must be doing something less than they need to, with cooling systems, imo.
Ramble over. BR,md
