I don't think I'm that clever so did I just not search with the right keywords or did I stumble across a cheat code to bleed an M54 in an E53?

So, brand new expansion tank and cap, filled back up with coolant and off we go.......

Since you are keeping a couple of BMW's on the road, A vacuum coolant filler (used with an air compressor) largely eliminates the need to bleed. You still need to force the the thermostat open by turning the heat up to high...

It's a great tool, and not too expensive...

I've had my eye on one of those tools for a little while now.

After reading many Amazon reviews so far I'm leaning towards the OEMTools 24444 unit.

Looks like a good choice…I have the harbor freight Maddox vacuum filler…which is okay, but have had some quality control issues.
