I'll get that checked out then.

Again I'm not really the most experienced but from what I've researched, if the coolant was leaking out the bottom, it's safe to say that it's not being mixed in with engine oil or anything like that?

Also would the dealership be the best place to take it?

I appreciate all the help, thanks.
I wouldn't take it to a dealer but find an Indy that specializes in BMW. It will be cheaper. Where are you in California? If Bay Area, I can recommend one.
