A buddy of mine needs his replaced. His car had about 90k miles. I have an E90 328i with 222k miles and haven't replaced the water pump, yet. I am waiting on it to go out.
I always new that brand BMW coolant is concentrated and needed to be mix with distilled water (50/50 mix)... So I read the back as I have a few and nothing states that it's a 50/50 mix already... as a matter affect it states that for best year round results to mix one part BMW coolant with one part Water (50/50 mix) so it needs to be mixed as it's not premixed from factory and to NEVER exceed over 60/40 mix (in severe occasions) as that will cause damage do to not be able to cool parts efficiently!

Easier to just remove the fan. But you can first try from the bottom, if you got small arms.
Hey sir quick question how many pulley your 535i has? Belt tensioner, idler pulley and deflection pulley?
Not sure, I never messed with any of that as of yet.
After replacing, what temp does your car run at now ?

Such a pos car. It's amazing. Lease dump. It's complicated trash
This is the only real issue Ive had with mine so far, and the trunk shocks went out and the steering functions which I had fixed in another video
F10s are among the best BMWs made in a long time. All cars are complex - You comment is uneducated at best.
