[QUOTE="bmw4eva, post: 390159, member: 14423"] Add these to your NOT HAPPY things: 4.Change coolant hoses(top & bottom) 5.Change thermostat 6.Change fan clutch 7.Change radiator cap 8.Flush,clean & hot tank or replace your radiator. Sorry to make your list so long, but I cannot overemphasize on the importance of your cooling system running at tip top level.Overheating is the single biggest contributor to most BMW engine failure(I'm sure experienced BMW owners will agree with me on this).If a sensor fails, the car dies, just tow to the workshop,have the sensor replaced, and you'll be back on the road again.If the gearbox goes kaput,you can still drive it home(most E39 gearbox have a limp in mode where its stuck in 4th gear). But if your engine overheats, you'll be lucky to walk away with just a blown head gasket. [/QUOTE]
