Ok understood. When I went out last night to take a picture of the fluid level I did put my hand on top of the charge cooler (which was still warm after several hours of sitting with the engine off). I'm assuming while the car was sitting, there was some heat soak. I'm assuming based on what you have both said that if I were to run the car and get that fluid moving, then immediately pop the hood and touch the charge cooler, that it would in fact (or at least should) be cool to the touch.

A couple of thousand. Keep in mind it wasn't a full refill. The fluid just got down to the lower level of the yellow floater so I added maybe 1/2 a cup of 50/50 coolant and distilled water to get it up to the top level.

I had a code for this in October. Took it to the dealer and they said it was low on coolant. They said they did a pressure test and no leak was detected. (I wonder if the leak only happens under boost) I just checked the tank after reading this post and it's completely dry. My warranty expired in December. Is there anything I can do to try to get it replaced under warranty since there was a problem before warranty expired? Obviously there was a leak but they didn't detect it for what ever reason.

This seems like a pretty bad design flaw, you could also send a message to BMW NA as well and see if that goes somewhere if that doesn't work. Not sure if that does anything, but I did that as well. |

They'll replace the part you just need to insist, since you documented it with them while you where in warranty you should still be covered
