BMW 5 Series 520i (F10) N20 | Coolant Expansion Tank Replacement

If you are on the road and this happens, pull over immediately and shut the vehicle down. Even driving for a short time with a failed coolant tank will result in a blown cylinder head gasket, and the demise of your vehicle (unless you need a parts car parked in your backyard). Many owners do not wait for failure to perform a BMW coolant expansion tank replacement. In fact, them BMW Repair Guide recommends a BMW coolant expansion tank should be replaced every ten years/100,000 miles for regularly driven vehicles.
