coolant flush

Got coolant flushed at dealer. Couple hundred bucks seems well worth it. I do it every 40k. Seems like further cheap insurance for making engines last

I do my own as I hear dealers use tap water instead of distilled water. Where did you have it done?

Big dealer. I doubt they don't know how to do a coolant fill but ya never know

Wow so FYI dealer doesn't use distilled water! Had to ask and they had access to it but don't normallyuse

It's like $0.75 for a gallon at Walmart. Not to mention it's so insanely easy to DIY.

No idea why BMW would use distilled water if they were able to.
