Take it to a reputable BMW independent mechanic.
My mechanic bled the system while the engine was running idle. Would this have been bad for the engine?

I followed the venting procedure this morning (drove it 30 miles yesterday) and noticed that the coolant level was a bit low. Took it to the mechanic who topped off with 1/10 to 1/5 of a gallon of distilled water. Is this ok or will this be a problem because it is no longer 50:50 coolant:distilled water?
