Low coolant
Is it normal for this to happen or should I be worried? The coolant level is below the 'minimum' point, not sure how much. No warning yet. Can I add some distilled water or do I have to go to my dealer to get BMW coolant? This Beemer noob thanks you for any info and wishes all a happy and safe holiday season.

You need to add BMW Coolant and Distilled Water Mix.
If you are sure that the cap was non on then you are good, in other case you may be developing a leak under the intake runners. |

Check for cracks in the coolant reservoir.
Last week mine cracked about 2 inches from the bottom on the side of the reservoir. |

This will indicate you have issues. Now, if it takes a while, then you still have issues but you have more time to get to them and get them sorted out (if that makes sense). |

I had to replace the seal around my coolant level sensor last summer which meant replacing the sensor itself. Fluid was leaking out.
