Coolant level
Owner's manual describes some kind of min/max coolant level gauge, which does not appear to exist. Does anyone know how to check the coolant level?

Well there is no gauge per se, or dip stick float device, but simply mix up in a clean container with nice tight seal, [I used a portable hiking water bottle] 50/50 of BMW rad fluid, and distilled water. When you use it, you can seal remaing mix and it's ready if needed next time.
Then shine a light thru passenger side of the white rad water container, light pointing to center of motor. You can then see how water level is indicated inside at seam. Hi tech, nice that. BUT just make sure your rad water level is up the seam, in middle of white container, and its fine. |

My dealer mechanic said it should be up the crease on the side. They topped it off for me.
