Coolant
Do not top up the cooling system
while the engine is hot otherwise
you may scald yourself on the resultant
coolant steam.
To avoid the risk of subsequent dam-
age, use only long-life antifreeze and
corrosion inhibitor free from nitrites and
amino compounds, and approved by
the manufacturer. BMW Service is
familiar with these products.
Antifreezes and corrosion inhibitors are
hazardous to health. Store it in sealed
original packs, inaccessible to children.
Long-life antifreeze and corrosion inhib-
itor contains ethylene glycol, which is
inflammable. For this reason, do not
spill long-life antifreeze and corrosion
inhibitor on hot parts of the engine; they
could ignite and cause burns.

Checking coolant level
Correct coolant level with engine cold,
approx. 20
6
(68

):
1. Turn the cap of the expansion tank
slightly counter-clockwise until it
starts to open, then allow the pres-
sure to escape before opening it fully
2. The coolant level is correct when the
upper end of the red float rod is level
with the edge of the filler pipe or pro-
truding by no more than 2 cm
(3/4 in), in other words as far as the
second mark on the float rod, see
diagram beside filler neck
3. Top up the coolant if necessary. Top
up slowly until the correct level is
reached – do not overfill.
When disposing of used long-life
antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor,
comply with the relevant environmental
protection laws.
