I'm happy to help another person in this community. I got you brother

[@SimplyCarThings]

Thanks bro :)

I have a 2007 650i Convertible, what type is yours? Do it comes with turbo on it?

[@johnstewart8023]

Thanks for this video. Took me 20 minutes, siphoned out the coolant from the tank first, then upper hose, bolts removed, lower sensor, then the lower hose (used cork to plug up this hose to prevent coolant all over the floor). Word of caution - beware of after-market coolant reservoirs. I had replaced this one previously and it didn't last long. Also, the coolant sensor is important, so this time, instead of transferring the sensor from the old tank to the new tank, I bought the whole tank and sensor together. Much better, and the sensor is cheap compared to the tank. FCP Euro had the BMW parts, and shipping was free. Saved $$ and time doing it myself.

Good Stuff Omar. I don't think having to replace this part after so many miles is to bad. After all its not a Toyota! Also, the BEST tip or your engine bay is to clean as normal and spray the ENTIRE thing with Regular Amour All. I have been doing this for 20 years an people can't believe how clean my engine bay stays. It does NOT attract dust in my opinion. Give it a day or so to sit and soak / dry It will become less shiny and you will love it.. Just spray and close the hood. Later!

[@SimplyCarThings]

Gary Grenier thanks man! And dang i need to try that! I have some armour all which has been sitting in the garage unused!

[@mrinnsayn5776]

Yo what’s up! I had a huge coolant leak yesterday on my 335i. The upper radiant hose ripped and I had to replace it in a Safeway parking lot. Luckily there was a good parts store a mile away from my location

[@Sigmawolf222]

Mr InnSayn had the same thing happen to me yesterday in my 335i

[@allengonzalez2733]

Mr InnSayn you guys are fucking lying😳😳😳 two weeks ago my coolant line to the thermostat busted this is insane

[@mrinnsayn5776]

Allen Gonzalez hahah no I swear, I was driving on the freeway and I got a message my engine was overheating and it started going into limp mode slowing down on its own so I had to get off the freeway and turn it off and all my coolant had leaked and it was all over my from driver side fender and wheel

[@allengonzalez2733]

Mr InnSayn SAME my engine started smoking I had to replace that Mickey Mouse head part

[@mrinnsayn5776]

Allen Gonzalez hahah I thought my engine was smoking too but then I realized it was just the coolant on the engine creating the smoke

[@iAlwaysSpeakTheTruth]

My m54 expansion tank is leaking coolant also but I’m waiting for my warranty to kick in the 29th so I’m gonna wait till then 😎

[@SimplyCarThings]

Nice ! haha thats the way to do it lol

[@natebaker2107]

Just get get k seal

[@johnstafford2402]

Thank you for getting right to the point! Good vid! 👍🏻

[@KozmikEl7]

Nice bro keep her running smooth!!

[@Tehbestshot]

My 08 328xi leaked coolant last night. Noticed it when I went to drive it to work in the morning. Hoping it's the same issue or a hose, because apparently the n51 radiator is stupid expensive.

[@SimplyCarThings]

i'm sure it's something small that caused the leak!

[@davidlogz]

Hey Omar, I've been waiting to install a few parts on my 335i so far i have cowl filters and dual cone intake, waiting for installation i have: VRSF charge pipe + HKS blow off valve, ARM motorsports intercooler, downpipes and last but least the inlets!!! I've been readinh in a lot of forums and people say its a pain in the ass when it comes to inlets. To share a little bit more.... I'm worried because the transmission oil pan started leaking 2 days ago and i think i will have to replace the gasket and that comes with replacing the oil, let me know if you have any recommendations. I will wait until you do the downpipes LOL to make sure i do it right the first time, keep up the good work man!

[@KozmikEl7]

David Logz i checked out BMW fanatic Diy's best detailed info on KZbin.

[@SimplyCarThings]

Haha thanks man! Yea im excited for the DP's, but as far as the transmission oil pan goes i'm not sure! It seems like a more difficult repair to do from what I've heard but I would consult with BMW Fanatic!

[@davidlogz]

N54 Lord I will definitely try to reach out BMW Fanatic about this, I've seen a lot of videos by now and searched for info in forums it seems pretty easy to do! Will see thanks for your reply man!

[@davidlogz]

Simply Car Things thank you Omar!!

[@StivensGameZone]

about that thing with pedal .. u give contact to car make heating on hold pedal 12 sec.. did u turn on the car ?

[@ProfessorKen]

So with bleeding the system you don't have to over fill the coolant expansion tank?

[@tommyguy55]

did the jb weld hold very well? will it suffice for a week?

[@AutoAutopsy]

Did you ever have any overheating issues because of this? I'm assuming the leak wasn't bad enough to where you lost all of your coolant

[@SimplyCarThings]

No thankfully it wasn't that bad. No overheating issues, but at one point I lost almost all the coolant in my car

[@JR-si6ef]

You will really like having the DPs👍

[@mueedk2]

I did that to the N52, I spent like an hour just trying to get the hose off on the bottom 😂

[@SimplyCarThings]

Yea lol! The bottom hose was a pain to get off hahaha

[@mueedk2]

Simply Car Things I used a flathead and pried it into it and used a hammer in the end bc I got pissed at it lol

[@RicardoSanchez-yq6jc]

What happens if you add more coolant and don’t bleed the coolant system process?

[@cuttingedgecool7235]

This is very useful info!!!

[@Rickyrackzz]

Hey bro I noticed my coolant tank was spitting out coolant . So there might be air in there because once I take off the cap the pressure starts coming out making the coolant leak out from the tank , also there’s oil in my coolant so could it also be the oil housing gasket ?

[@loveordie4]

Way to go bro!

[@SimplyCarThings]

Thanks man!!

[@avoidqua]

What is the name of the hose right at the bottom of the coolant tank?

[@Stance_Mindset]

Oh man. I really wanna go FBO too but California emission is horrible 😖

[@SimplyCarThings]

I know man, I know. It's such a pain in the ass :(

[@quazzydoe2172]

Could someone link me or give me the part number for the lower radiator hoses? Appreciated

[@jjd2065]

Great Video bro! Thanks a TON for sharing!!! Very useful info

[@SimplyCarThings]

glad i could help! Thanks man!

[@RealDoce1]

Guess i got ripped off. Mechanic charged me $500 bucks for replacing the expansion tank and an upper radiator hose parts and labor included. Couldve been more because of the coolant needed but i gave them my own i bought from the bmw dealer but turns out they didnt use it. I guess the previous owner was using green coolant so they used that and they dudnt want to use the blue one your supposed to use. They said that it takes a while to flush out the green coolant and it wasnt included in the labor. So now my bmw is running green coolant smh

[@KozmikEl7]

Barcelona Fan Since 2009 wow unfreakin believable"..yes they jerked you man!!

[@RealDoce1]

N54 Lord yeah man. Never going there ever again

[@SimplyCarThings]

Dang its all good man. When my upper radiator hose went out I was stupid and took it into BMW where they charged me $515 to replace it smh.

[@natebaker2107]

Just get K seal 🤷🏾‍♂️ it helped me out a great deal ...it only me cost 15 dollars

[@clayshaw6388]

Not sure if you are religious at all but all your videos remind me of the same thing. Two things actually. 1. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy (Matt 5:7) 2. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. (Proverbs 9:9) You gave me a gift from your trials and errors. Thought I would do the same in return from my own. Be well, friend. He is on your right hand and on your left.

[@moehashem1231]

12 secs or 12 min?

[@gabboGABBOGABBOOO]

If you go catless dp's. How are you gonna make it in the emissions? Hate Cali laws.

[@SimplyCarThings]

I'm not sure that's my only issue with getting downpipes haha

[@roblesinline6642]

Simply Car Things in Cali you just pay around 150 there's dirty shops everywhere that do this and pass you like flying colors

[@roblesinline6642]

Y'all needa get some Intel before modifying your cars 😂😂 I live in cali

[@SimplyCarThings]

I need to find a shop that does that hahahaha

[@paasosentomi]

If you search expansion tank replacement on youtube you'll find like 30 different videos out there on how to do it.

It's really easy to write your script in advance, Uploader. Then show your audience to the finished product. In that way, they won't be subjected to the annoying repetition, which you can avoid by the really easy process of writing your script in advance. The casual viewer may suspect dementia when someone doesn't make the really easy effort of writing the script in advance. It's really easy.
