Because the M550i has two coolant reservoirs, I am confused about which one constitutes the 'expansion tank'. However, it seems only one tank pops a warning when low, and that's the one in the back. I had the same low coolant warning when the expansion tank was leaking 10 months ago, so logic says that that's the expansion tank that was replaced. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Yes, top right is expansion tank. I just found out the same way you did. Still under warranty, thankfully.
