I'm actually curious about this lol. Some have been on the road for 4 years. Any bmw issues pop up water pump etc?

Hi,

Mine is a '21 premium going on 3 years this August. I am experiencing this week something rather bizarre: Soon after hitting 40mph, a green skidding warning light comes on in the instrument cluster's upper left and the car begins to be hard to handle, skidding, steering gets very lose. I haven't made any changes in the settings. I have made an appt at the dealer since it's probably a software thing but I'm worried those people are incapables. The car has been very reliable so far.

Any advice?

Thanks.

Allegedly*, during B58 development Toyota had a hand in the decision to 'revert' back to the use of a belt-driven analog water pump for main engine cooling, and judging by how slow-moving the 16100-WAA04 part is in Toyotaland, it's not a common issue at all at this point. They were well aware of the sketch history of BMW's electric water pumps, and didn't want to take that risk.

Hopefully not. I think its just build up of condensation as she's literally come straight off the boat! Also, it looks clean past the cap. But yeah.. not sure. FML. Hopefully get some advice here and/or hit up the dealer. ?

Dude, it's totally just condensation buildup. Wipe it off, and put some kilometers on the damn car. Don't worry about it at all.

Yep, was about to mention check the coolant level. Probably already on your to-do list but I’d change the oil as soon as you can just from being a used car. This would just add a reason to do the change.

His car isn't used, it's brand new with like 25 miles on it. It's not a good idea to change the oil that soon at all.

Oh Jesus, why did I put a couple 0’s on the end of the 33. Thanks for catching that. @lmfao I agree with the others, that’s condensation. Enjoy it.

Apex SM10’s with Conti’s ECS2, HKS springs/super turbo exhaust, Rexpeed spoiler, and MAPerformance DP. Time to save up for the next project — tuning….

Thanks gentlemen - That's what I figured. Just waiting for the weather to give me an opportunity to take her out for a first spin.

Nice! The stripes tying in with the caliper over the rear fender look great!

If the car sat on a boat for ~ a year, then he goes out and tracks the ? out of it, how long would you wait till your 1st oil change? Just out of curiosity. I think I did it with about 3k miles on mine. I’ve never had an oil issue, btw.
