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.

Sorry to hear that. but congrats on getting to 173K miles.
I have 134K km on my 2011 528i and will probably have to replace suspension parts soon.
May I ask you on what exactly you replaced in your suspension?
