Coolant leaking through the turbo lines in 550ix

My Dealer just told me this. Has anyone else experienced this? What else should I do while the engine is taken apart to do this.

Honestly, there's not much else you should do because it's pretty easy to get to the coolant lines on the turbos, not much you have to take off. You could replace all of the oil feed lines, but that is a little overkill depending on how much you want to spend.

Not that surprising that one is leaking with all the heat around the turbos. There's always going to be a weak line or two out there that will fail early because of heat.

I just ran into this and I am crying. I saw a DIY to fix and fixed one line, but had others that i could not see. The dealer is charging me around 3k for the repairs.. I am not happy about that. and my aftermarket warranty is not covering the hoses.

I am wondering now is this just going to be a common theme and maybe i should have bought the 535i..
