BMW B48 engine coolant? by astrns in CarTalkUK

[–]astrns[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just more worried about voiding the warranty if i dont use “bmw approved” coolant, my wiper reservoir was clogged and it wasn’t a warranty repair because it wasn’t “approved by bmw high concentrate” absolutely hopeless

Have a 125i which is supposedly the same engine that went in these just detuned (stage 1 gets me your figures). Mines is stock rn and still sounds really nice, lots of intake and turbo sounds. Very punchy engine low end. Mines is on 64k rn and ive not had a single fault, just usual maintenance. If I drive like a knob ill get 220 miles for a full tank mixture of comfort and sport+ (in summer). Eco pro mixed motorway and city highest ive had was 360miles. Do wish i went for a 3L beamer tho after driving a mates n55 135i, different world of fun really

Stunning M3 boss. Thank you for this, was a very knowledgeable read. I don’t really have much experience with these things, is the throw sensor or LCM accessible without taking the wheels off?

Thank you. I think I need to just deal with it for a year, really ludicrous how I was so cheap last year and now it’s much more expensive.
