Got a sinking feeling in the pit of me wallet
Just after fixing engine oil leak from alternator bracket, I noticed coolant leak on the floor. I've actually noted this in the past when the car sits for 3+ days, but I kinda ignored it since it wasn't a daily occurrence and no coolant top up required. It never dripped overnight. But while fixing the oil leak and car sat for days on end, I caught the dripping red handed! Seems to come from the back of the engine.
Appreciate any pointers. Any one dealt with this issue? Car is over 100k miles 4.4 2005 sports. Last edited by X5only; 02-26-2014 at 01:54 AM.

I just did mine 2002 4.4, the intake has to come off. there is a sheet metal plate with a gasket about the size of the intake itself, the rear of the gasket leaks. The part is cheap but it's an all weekend job. Their is also a crossover metal tube that runs down the center, while that doesn't leak replace the o-rings in that as well. The valve covers stay on but again you have to remove the entire intake manifold. Also on the back of the manifold while it's off change the PCV valve, they always leak...BMW called something else.

How has reliability been other than the leak? There is a 2004 4.4 that I am going to look at with 86 000km...I drive 95 km/day...

They are not called money pits for no reasons.
 Expensive to buy when they were brand new, expensive to keep when they are old.
