Just one thing I had a intermittent overheating prob(once or twice every couple of months) but as soon as I put the heating controls on it went straight down to normal temp also the display often came on 'coolant level'; eventually the rad burst, so I replaced the rad, thermostat & coolant sensor but 'coolant level' keeps coming up on the display, any ideas?!
well the rad, tstat and sensor... you still have the water pump (could leak from the weep hole for a while before it totally fails) and you have quite a bit of hoses there.

Intermittent over heating seems like an air bubble - so might as well check the WP and all hoses.


As for my cars it now has 135,500 (shes a 1990 525)
and the "other 5er" (e39) has 110,000 now. (shes a 1998 528)
Guess it's time for a new one!
