Anybody know where this is? I don't have my ramps here and the car kind of can't move at the moment. Even rough approximations would help greatly. __________________ I scream, you scream, we all scream for ZOMBIES. | | | 10-04-2006, 02:11 PM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 | Are you talking about the drain plug at the bottom driver's side of the radiator? Once you unplug it, coolant will come out of there and also from the side of the radiator (90 degrees to the right of the plugged hole). __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone 1998 Schwartz II sport 318ti - M50TUB25/5 | | | 10-04-2006, 02:31 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: Port St. Johns, Florida Posts: 2,242 | It's straight down from the air bleeder, on my M42 there is a tube or wire right above it blocking it from sight, but you can feel it easy. Also use a wide blade screwdriver to unscrew it << Nevermind this is for the Rad, not the block my bad, | | | 10-04-2006, 02:35 PM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2003 Location: Marion, IA Posts: 388 | The one on the engine block. It is on the passenger side near the exhaust header, do this when the engine is cold or you will burn yourself on the header and/or hot coolant. Coolant flush procedure: http://www.pelicanparts.com/BMW/tech...lant-Flush.htm See Figure 8. It is just a plain old bolt in the side of the block. | | | 10-04-2006, 03:12 PM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 | tastade, you're a lifesaver.
