Consumer Description
Despite replacing the water pump, coolant expansion tank, hoses, and other related cooling system components, and fully refilling and bleeding the coolant, the issue persisted. Even after these repairs, the engine continued to overheat and show coolant level fluctuations, indicating an underlying problem likely pressure buildup or head gasket failure that was not resolved by replacing standard cooling parts. Dealership has identified further problems and seem like a costly repair that I won’t be able to do out of pocket. BMW needs to address this issue immediately, engine stuttering and loss of sudden power on the high way is not safe!
