The radiator hoses are cheap and easy though, start there. Buy an upper and lower hose, a gallon of distilled water, and a gallon of OE BMW coolant and have at it. All you will need is a screw driver.
That is a long list and it is easy to get overwhelmed but just prioritize and pick them off one by one. We are here to help. |
I agree and at the same time check with another mechanic, I would tackle the oil leak first and then the rest. There is a BMW specialist in Orange
