Either my use of prestone vs the original blue coolant, just a freak thing of high miles on my car, a bad coolant flush who knows. And what was the gran total spent this time around? $740 out the door. Bit expensive but peace of mind knowing its not a head gasket or a cracked head. Hope my posts are helpful to anyone that might go through something similar.
Very helpful. Following BMW's recommended fluids (motor, rad, diff etc) is proving to be more important than ever (as aerobod mentioned above).
