You'll see dried coolant on the side of the tank and turbo intake, and possibly pooled coolant on the frame and subframe. Look around the coolant reservoir and on the frame. I thought the same thing so I did the bleeding procedure and absolutely nothing changed. Wouldn't running the water pumps bleed procedure solve trapped air pockets as well? Or do we have to completely drain it all? Moral of story is you probably have trapped air bubbles and by draining the system you can fix your problem for under $30 After doing this I filled up my coolant tank with 2 gallons of distilled water only to flush out the system just to be careful which got a lot more blue coolant out of the system and once I drained that I installed the 50/50 mix and drove around till my car was hot and then I let the car cool off for a few hours and I opened the bleeder screw and a lot of air came out so I filled the coolant up to the line again where it's supposed to be and now I have no more low coolant light. After getting that mixed I lifted the front of my car on a Jack and removed my front innercooler (extremely easy to do) and then unscrewed the screw on the bottom of the radiator which drained about 70% of the coolant so then I disconnected a hose near the radiator plug (forgot the name of it) which got the other 30% of coolant out. ![]() I did a 50/50 mix (one gallon of coolant and one gallon of distilled water in a 5 gallon bucket and then mixed it together. After checking my coolant level it was filled exactly where it was supposed to be but I continuously was having a low coolant message pop up on my car so I thought it was the sensor in the bottom of the coolant tank but after replacing the coolant sensor it still remained so I went ahead and decided to buy factory blue bmw coolant with 3 gallons of distilled water. ![]() My 2011 335i had a low coolant light singe I got it from the dealership.
