Hi.. I have a 2016 BMW M235i and part of a maintenance, I am trying to bleed the Coolant System. I checked on Youtube and it has a procedure of setting the Temp to 84, lowering the fan to the lowest and pressing the gas pedal for 10 seconds.. But, my car is not doing it. Is the 2016 M235i electrict water pump? Is the procedure different? Thanks

You can try querying Mike Miller directly; he's the Tech Talk columnist for BMWCCA's Roundel magazine at techtalk@roundel.org.

Note that if you do he would like the following information: BMW model, mileage, transmission type, first and last name, city, state, and phone number. (Sometimes Mike calls to discuss the problem someone has written-in about.)

Note also that he prefers to receive messages from BMWCCA members, but he doesn't insist upon it.

You may receive a quick response from Mike. No promises, but he responded to me within hours one time and within two days the other time. Considering how many incoming emails he likely receives, I was pleased with the (free) service.
