Good point. I forgot about the stupid magical coating that converts water to wine. Maybe there's a hack for it...[/QUOTE]
I looked a little bit more last night - looks like people are able to take the sensor from the old radiator and use that on a replacement to trick it. But still, given it's an SULEV and the OP appears to be in CA, I'd just have BMW take care of it.
