Lifetime coolant???
I was browsing the BMW maintenance manual the other day on my 2004 3.0i and noticed that BMW now recommends changing out the transmission fluid at 100k miles and the coolant is now lifetime??? WTF??? Has anyone noticed this? I guessed BMW figured out that their crappy waterpump will seized up at about 60k and that you'll need to replace the coolant at that time anyway and ultimately went away with the coolant flush recommendation altogether?
