Crossing my fingers for this one,
After searching around a bit I found a couple people with my same scenario but not a clear thread on a solution.
Today After work it was on my way home driving with no issues but as I was getting home my car gave me the engine overheating light (yellow) and soon after the red one, my engine temperature had not even got close to the 240 it usually sits at (I'm almost sure it was around 210) (I should mention my oil is a bit low but I'm planing on replacing it as soon as I get my car running again, haven't got oil change light) so after I pulled over I waited a little and then turned it back on, almost immediately the lights came back on and I had to drive with decreasing power, by the time I pulled into my driveway I was almost idling, so I waited around an hour and checked my coolant (after a solid hour of forum searching) the tip of the stick inside the coolant tank was parallel with the rim of the tank[as the diagram shows "low] (not about an inch higher as it should normally be) so I topped it off with 50/50 bmw coolant and water.. I've read a few people say that this fixed their issue (temporarily???) but I don't want to go ahead and start my car without reading the opinions of the few experts on this forum.. Is it normal for coolant to just go low? I checked with flashlights from a few angles and I see no visible leak
Thank you so much
If anyone is experienced in this scenario I'd appreciate a call to make things a bit quicker but a reply is equally appreciated. Thank you 3057331530
