I was wondering if someone could point me into the right direction of solving this issue? I had a crack in my wheel so I replaced the rim had that installed. Just a day before picking up the rim because it was in the shop getting painted! this notification popped up. I mentioned to the guy also that my antifreeze was low he said he would top it off and take a look. He said it wasnt that low but it needed some!

I get in my car this morning to head to work! boom Sam's notification popped up. doesnt this mean something to add for my turbos? is there another coolant compartment ?

any knowledge would be greatly appreciated!

probably just the main one. Does antifreeze go in the other aswell ?

[kohsin]

Yes. They are independent system. They probably top off the main one, not the turbo coolant line.

likely you have a leak in your radiator. Early F10s are starting to see this rather frequently. The leak is usually where the horizontal cooling fins meet the side of the radiator tank. If you look closely with the flashlight, you will likely be able to see dried coolant at the point of the leak.

Where is the other one located?
Is it just in N62 or N55 as well?

[kohsin]

N63. Not sure about the N55 or N62.

[kohsin]

For N63, it's under the engine shroud. You can see it without removing the shroud.

Yeah I discovered the tank after doing some research. so if it is the radiator, is it just a pump replacement ? what kind of labor would this run me ?

Use the same coolant for the radiator tank. I use the BMW blue and yes, 50/50 with distilled water.
