The car is in great shape and I replaced the suspension last year. I have replaced the coolant before. It sucks as mentioned before that there is no drain plug. I just loosened the lower hose and made a mess. I used the vacuum method to refill with the Schwaben tool. The tool is worth getting if you own any BMW as it makes it super easy to fill and check for leaks before filling.
This car is super reliable and I still get 30 mpg on highway. Hard to beat.

Mines at 113k I've replaced a lot on it but I also have mods
