N63 Leaks Coolant

I'm constantly adding coolant to my 50i. I think I have gotten all the turbo lines to stop leaking but the dealer says my rear coolant end cap is bad. What and where is that? Hopefully it's something...

No it didn't run prior to the dealer changing it. I recall before it failed that it ran a little when it was really hot outside. The dealer replaced it under warranty so my part cost estimates could...

2011 X50i Loud Gurgling

The reservoir for apparently the turbo inter coolers water system is gurgling like something is boiling over. When you take the lid off it is louder but the coolant in there isn't even moving.

Update.

The dealership said that the driveshaft wasn't under warranty but as a courtesy they are going to replace it. It still has plenty of time left on the CPO warranty so how would that not be...

Vibration Turned to Snapped U-Joint

My 50i just got towed to the old dealership with 40K miles and a broken front driveshaft. We've never flogged it or towed anything with it.

It seems like a safety issue since you are basically sucking engine bay air right into the cabin. I put a little screw into mine to hold it in place until something is done to fix it.

Cheap Underhood Plastic

I found this cheap cracked up brittle plastic tonight. It is a 2011 so would the warranty cover this? Pretty ridiculous that it is already falling apart. My 2001 M5 has the same problem....
