If the expansion tank cracked I'd be worried about the thermostat housing. It's closer to the heat of the engine / exhaust and it appears to be the same plastic. The water pump is a no-brainer when you're there, as most of the work is removing the t-stat housing and draining / filling the system. The radiator has to come out on an E90 to get to this stuff.

Really not liking the engineering of the newer BMWs

Either one would probably just piss them off and backfire.

Well I'm already never going back. Sounds like #1 it is

bren · 11-03-2017, 12:53 PM

#3 is where I was leaning.

#4 - play nicey nice, then go there at 2am and take a hood dump on an M5.

Did I say that out loud?

I couldn't do that.

I'd pick an X5 or 7-series.

I would never. I just have a dark sense of humor sometimes.
