    Ive just been told that i might have a small coolamt leak while it was having a service and oil change. But he wasn't sure where from, said it could have been the expansion tank or the radiator. Its my first car so im pretty new to this stuff. So any advice on how to check foe where my leak might be coming from, would be very much appreciated! Its a bmw 316ti, 2004, if that helps

    Been there done all that…honestly these cars are just fun to drive when working properly! Parts on bmw’s are designed to fail at certain mileage and in groups so you have to do them together otherwise keep going to shop and yes that generates money for bmw with after service and parts.i have yet to see any other car which needs so many parts! Next i would go for lexus ( reliable bmw replacement)

    You forgot two real "hidden features" 1 glove box has a flashlight that is plugged in on the upper left side (might have to bend down to see) pulls straight out. 2 there is a first aid kit under the front passenger seat. If it is still in your car it will be a drawer type compartment. If it is not there you can tell by just simply feeling the front bottom of the seat. If it's gone you will feel an obvious indentation where it use to line up.
