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.
Your mechanic doesn't know what he is doing regarding the E90 coolant change. There is no need to run the engine to get the system bled. The system is bled cold using just the electric coolant pump.

Take it to a reputable BMW independent mechanic.
