Been waffling abt doing the entire cooling sys at my mileage with no symptoms (yet)- @rickybobby- have you done yours yet with your mileage?

Previous owner did the expansion tank, hoses, and Thermostat before I bought the X, so that is about 3-4 years ago. I've only had to top up my ET once so far, tank looks like its holding up (all parts were genuine), to be honest the PO might have done the water pump but i'm not sure, bc it makes no sense to me why he would do all the other parts and leave the pump in, he also had a 4.8 so I don't think he would have neglected the $100 pump. I will probably redo the system again at 100k just for peace of mind. BMW recommends full coolant flush every 4 years, but I haven't done it yet.
If you haven't had any of the parts ever replaced I would at least suggest the hoses, Tstat, and expansion tank.
