When I asked him about changing my coolant on my 328i. He told me on my car is kinda difficult. He said to get the air bubbles out he’ll have to drive it around then let it cool then do it again or something. Does that sound right to you guys? It seems like the bleeding procedure in the OP is a lot simpler.
The procedure in this DIY is spot on. Driving around with air packets in the cooling system is a bad idea with any car period.
