.... my '07 335i was at dealer far more than that in less timeframe than your car... but it is a great car anyway
+1. Depending on how much coolant is lost, as long as it's not dripping on the ground, you should be okay. Just make sure you monitor your engine temperature to make sure it isn't overheating. If you feel think it getting too hot, shut if off right away.
