Here's what the current conditions are here in Charlotte (snow and ice). Even The X struggled for grip getting to the parts store. The DSC light was strobing like a Friday night rave in Ibiza...

Yep, mine failed in Las Cruces, NM... just after leaving TX on the way to Vegas with my Mom. Was dragging her with me to a tennis tourney. She was less than pleased. LOL. I'm just glad I happened to glance at the cluster as she was driving and didn't notice the low coolant message. I saw the check arrows and had her pull over to display the message.
Anyway, all that was available locally at 5PM on a Thursday was a URO (I can't stand URO) tank back in TX in El Paso. Left the E53 at a decent gas station in NM and rented a camry to go back and get the part + smurf blood to replace. Was back on the road in about 4 hours total. I was extremely chuffed with this... but my mom less so. That URO tank was installed 06/05/2016 and is still on the truck to this day. I have a spare Behr unit here ready to take its place when it decides to crack. Or when I do my cooling system over haul in the next few weeks. Have Logic7 lower temp thermostat, water pump, and a bunch of hoses ready to go in.

Just have to put the lower splash shield on but finished with no leaks. The Dorman is really made cheaply, especially the level sensor. I even had to file the upper hose fitting clip mount slots for the upper hose going to the tank . The locking clip just wouldn't seat properly. That said, its good for a few days until my FCP order comes in and I feel like doing it again. The ET came right off without a struggle at all. Just put and hand on top and on bottom and wiggled it and lifted. The transmission thermostat was broken, just like almost everyone discovers...

Well I made it to Daytona. I have to admit I was nervous leaving and headed on a 500 mile journey each way without even a test drive after the cooling system repair.
Leaving Charlotte was treacherous to say the least... I just hyper-focused on every sound and smell but after 9 hours and a 1 hour freeway backup, I guess it was a success.

The Dorman will last 1-2 years.
In the mean time, look at the link I posted earlier for Genuine expansion tank that is being sold by a BMW on ebay for $55 (they are trying to get rid of old stock). You may want to buy it at $55 and replace it later and leave the Dorman in the trunk as spare.
