I had the coolant warning a few weeks ago and we replaced the hoses at the water pump. A week later the warning is back. This morning I filled it up and started a 70 mile trip and the light came on again 10 miles into it.
I took it to my BMW dude and saw the damn alternator leaking after he pressure tested it. We replace it tomorrow. My saving grace is a chick who works for a parts house and got the Bosch unit for $277 (her cost).
