1. 7100mi got low coolant warning. Could not find a leak. Three more times to dealer to find a leak as reservoir was still needing service. Still found no leaks. So I bought some coolant and distilled water and checked the reservoir level myself every month. In 71,000mi I have put 3 1/2 quarts of fluid in. Not to mention the coolant servicing that was done when I had various 5,000 mi oil and filter changes.
2. 22012 mi lower radiator flaps stuck needed to be replaced
3. 20432 mi Upper radiator flaps stuck needed to be replaced By the way there is a 150,000mi 10 year warrantee on the flaps now,
4. 22850 mi Tach and speedometer display shifted to the left and the module had to be replaced and reprogrammed. Lucky I had heads up display.
5. 64027 mi front brake pads and rotors replaced
6. 66415 mi Engine Mounts needed to be replaced
7. 69850 mi Coolant Reservoir leaking and replaced.
8. 71383mi In the shop now for Oil filter mount (Plastic) cracked coolant leaking again and since both Coolant and oil are together they need to purge the coolant and change the oil and filter. So they are gonna have the car for a week. I had my first oil change at the dealer at 4977mi and the first low coolant warning was 7,049mi. at I wonder if they cracked the housing then and I have just been keeping it full.
Looking at some other car this is going to get expensive and it is all because of the PLASTIC under your hood. Good luck fellas.....
By the way drove a 2023 M340i today might be time for a change. Wow what a ride. Of course the da?m plastic would still be there and waiting. I think I am gonna just save money and trade before the warrantee goes out from now on. Don't know why BMW builds a perfect engine but puts sh*tty plastic parts on the coolant system and oil system.

The M340i seems awesome. I just couldn't get past the uncomfortable seats for a daily driver.
