My E46M lost that hose while I was driving on the freeway. Sprayed coolant all over the engine bay, so all I saw was smoke coming out of the engine and my engine temp go to max. Towed it to the dealer (was under CPO at the time), who promptly misdiagnosed it somehow and then eventually ended up charging me a ton of money to replace the hose, which of course wasn't under warranty.
