I think the 7 miles driven slowly (if you decide to drive to the dealer) will be just fine to drive as the car will barely reach temperature probably by then unless you get stuck in a major trafic jam on the way. Thus I would say this is still safe to do. Also consider a low coolant alert does not necessarily mean the level is so low that driving further will cause scalding. Especially if it just popped up.
Of course if you want to go absolutely risk-free then order it and wait until it gets home to you. |

I picked the M850i up from the dealer today and they did not mention anything about an air bubble, etc. in regards to the "low coolant" service I requested. I plan to take the car out for a performance run tomorrow and will check the tanks prior to doing so. I doubt that my situation had an air bubble involved as it was clear as day that the main tank was low, i.e., the coolant was no where near the minimum marker.

Next day no warning msg about Low coolant. I called BMW, lady Hi may I help you? I was in middle of explaining when she goes oh you would NOT have been given a loaner for that! You just drive by blah blah....I explained rest of my previous conversations, she checks her system & sure enough, I have an appointment with a loaner reserved! Does anyone over there have a clue?!!! But I haven't had the Low coolant msg appear & unlike some of the previous posters, I put my car through its paces!! Still no msg! Should I just cancel the appointment? |
