Reviving from the grave (used the search).
I had to drain some coolant in order to change my OFH Gasket (and later Valve Cover Gasket), so i used the radiator drain plug. After i put the car together i went on a test drive, and boy did i turned into a 300HP Steam-train. Did not looked like i lost all the coolant (no low coolant light) but the engine bay was all sprayed out on the right side. It was 3am so i left it for tomorrow(today), now that i saw this thread i assume i broke off that drain plug, but then again it didn't fell off (i think, because it didn't drip/spray after i stopped the car).
Did all of your plugs fell off?
I am still going to BMW to pick up a new plug so any tips on installing it are appreciated, i don't want to brake it because its the last one in stock.
Is it just pushed into the radiator or it has to be twisted as well?

Update: It wasn't the plug, the cooling hose for the OFH was unplugged (phew).
