The coolant bleeder screw on the B58 engines are known as a weak point in the cooling system. The plastic screw becomes brittle with time and cracks causing leaks. Its also known to break while turning to bleed the system.

Don’t overlook this small item and get left stranded on the side of the road. I found 2 options: one brass and one titanium.

Yep. Quick 5 minute replacement that I just did.
Awesome, thanks. I just realized I've never checked the coolant level so will do that at the same time. My car has less than 2k miles..

Thanks again for the heads up. BMW filled my coolant too high so I had to towel catch some coolant, but easy peasy.. looks cool too.
