![]() ![]() ![]() Sparing you the details of how many trips to my local BMW indy shop this took the order of diag and repair went something like this:ġ. After a fun day in the GA mountain back roads, the low coolant warning came on and when I stopped to check it, the reservoir was full of engine oil, which of course got my attention. Picked up a very clean 2016 M235i at the end of April that had, best my mechanic and I could tell, no issues. I love it but its been nothing but a I just finished living through this exact same scenario. Im getting pretty nervous about this car. It just seems like either they didn't make an attempt to get the oil out of the cooling system and it built up in the until the oil ruined the coolant hose, or there is still an OFHG problem that they didn't address properly. what the hell do you think is wrong with it? Its not running weird as if the head gasket is blown or anything. Really bummed out about this because im going to see NASCAR at Watkins this weekend and I really wanted to take the car up there to rip up some backroads up in the Finger Lakes. I took it back to the BMW dealer and I am now awaiting news. Then I checked in the coolant res and there was a lot of oil inside again. I tried to clean it out and took it for a spin. When I went to replace the coolant hose, I noticed that there was a TON of fresh looking oil in the hose. I went and bought a new upper coolant hose. The upper rad hose that runs into the OFH popped a small hole. I pop the hood and its a coolant massacre inside. They also told me that there was still some residual oil in the system that they couldn't get out completely.įast forward to last night. They replaced the OFHG and the cooler gasket, flushed the coolant several times, pressure tested it again, changed the oil and sent me on my way. I consider myself a fairly good mechanic, so normally I would be fixing this stuff myself, but I still had a dealer warranty on the car, so I took it to BMW to have it fixed. I posted a while back about oil getting into my coolant res tank. ![]()
