So I just checked my reservoir and it's interesting my yellow plastic indicator thing looks different from all the pics people have posted. Could this also reflect an upgraded intercooler? I just took delivery of my car this week.

That looks stock, it's just submerged in fluid. Post a pic of your engine bay

The M2C appear to have a different float than other S55's. I doubt the cooler core is any different just the reservoir.

Nice they covered it post warranty. They should have, but dealerships can be difficult sometimes. |

Took off my charge pipes today the turbo closest to the front of the car has liquid in around the ends of the tube of the charge pipe on both ends but the other one is bone dry is this the charge air cooler problem you all are talking about?

Yep. Check your reservoir and make sure there’s fluid in there. If not, you probably have a leak.

Yes I have stuff in the reservoir it’s in the middle between the stick but it’s not the blue coolant in there it’s just clear and also I opened it up and took this apart because I was having bogging with some turbo lag. And thought it might be this. There’s a line straight down to the turbo with like a dried up liquid down into it and nothing into other.

Intercooler Leaked into engine. Replacing engine
Quote:
Luckily for me, I purchased the car used with Maxcare warranty from Carmax. Took it to Sterling BMW - They diagnosed that my Intercooler was indeed leaking internally. They are replacing the motor, Intercooler, Oil cooer, etc. The whole experience has been pretty easy dealing with the 3rd party insurance and BMW. My out of pocket expenses are just my $50 deductible. Now its just waiting for them to get the parts installed. Hopefully I'll have it back in a week or so. |

jymmeih14 why are they replacing the short block? Seems to be above and beyond any repairs listed in this thread.

I don't know. From what the SA stated to me, the tech didn't find any external leaks but saw white smoke after filling the intercooler coolant reservoir. Opened the intercooler and found it leaking internally. From what he saw during his tear down - his recommendations were to replace the intercooler, oil cooler and short block. I'm just thankful I had the warranty and basically have a new motor. |
