HI
Just make sure that you bleed it properly it is an art which can take a couple of Hrs. You run the risk of cooking the head, so perhaps you should consider to let an authorised Dealer do it.
Good Luck
Steen

My 740I just broke her radiator neck and I need to find a replacement. Any suggestions on the replacement? factory replacement or an aftermarket?

Any tips when replacinf the radiator?


Can you clarify the "art of bleeding" the cooling system. Isn't the main goal to ensure that the thermostat opens after the car warms up to properly check the coolant level? Or is it some special Bimmer thing? (I don't have a service manual yet on this car - not available).
