Wonder if you can lemon law it if they’re not willing to fix it?

my advice is get a exhaust gas check on the gas in resevoir to ensure its not a gasket/block fail ... I have seen a very similar thing on an i8

Got this exact thing checked actually, came back fine no issues.

good stuff ... then thats the worst scenario avoided ...


hmmm .. then sounds like an air lock somewhere IMHO ..
I would keep bleeding it ( via bleed screw .. which you should change for a brass one ) .. if pressure is lost in the system it will immediately boil over .. check all connectors locked and tight.

good luck bud

Actually just put a titanium bleeder screw in about 3 days ago so far so good.

Update; a rodent ate my wiring harness so yea

Kind of confused how a wiring harness (assuming electrical) would cause coolant to spray in that location.

The rodent chewed the wire connection to the coolant temperature sensor.

Damn, well that makes sense. Given the BMWness of the car, Im surprised that wasnt a fault code.

Yep, thankfully the car is all good now and I've been able to enjoy it.
