Car has been in the shop for a couple of days with no further updates, I wonder if an engine swap would be authorized? Fat hope I know but I do hope an engine swap is on the cards.

My 2020 M550 has been in the shop twice now for leaking coolant. They also changed coil packs. It is STILL leaking coolant ( i can smell it ) but every time I ask them about it, they pressure test the system and say its "normal" for these V8's to lose coolant. When I mention that I've had two low coolant warnings on I Drive in less than 1,000 miles, they say its good to go. Currently has 12,300 miles.

The local dealership just gave me some updates, it's the fuel injectors that were damaged by the coolant expansion tank leak.
The fuel injectors has been replaced and now they are going to look at the following issues I highlighted:- 1) Ticking sound from undercarriage when turning the steering 2) from traffic lights, move off, sometimes feel the car is in neutral even when transmission is in D when lightly accelerating and car suddenly lurches forward like suddenly the gear catches on. It's a My 2020 Pre-LCi Comp.

Im not sure as I'm not an engineer by training but I do wonder if the engineers while designing the placement of components in the engine bay, did they give thought to possible failures that would affect other parts. Water tank near electronics doesn't sound like a good idea to me but they might have their reasons anyways.

I just replaced my coolant expansion tank after catching some dried residue around the perimeter. I caught it pretty early as I’m cleaning and checking things in the engine bay often. It was leaking from 3 areas on the upper half (cracks not visible to the eye) and from the seam in the middle. It literally came out of nowhere. The design of the tank with two halves bonded together probably doesn’t help matters, and the placement I agree should’ve been put out of the way from the coils, plugs, etc. in the event of a prolonged and/or large leak.

That is such BULLSHIT. This coolant leak issue will become a 'recall' soon enough.

Will update you on this. Today is day 10 inside the dealer workshop, no updates, nothing seems to have been done so far. MyBMW app shows car's latest update on 12th Mar and no updates since till date. Very poor turnaround time from the dealer.

My car has been at the dealer for over two weeks now for the second replacement of the coolant tank. The first one was done in January and it still smelled of coolant for months. I brought it to a different dealer and this time they said they are also replacing all 4 coils and injectors on that side as well as other small seals necessary. I was told that it would be finished on Monday or Tuesday but now it is Wednesday and I have not heard from them. The MyBMW app shows no communication with the car for the past 7 days - I keep checking it.

Dealer just called and updated that the parts have finally arrived. The ticking sound from the undercarriage, the advisor told me it's due to my wheel spacers which I'm pretty sure is a load of bullshit.

Not sure if it is related but this is exactly what happened with my previous 2015 BMW X5M 2) from traffic lights, move off, sometimes feel the car is in neutral even when transmission is in D when lightly accelerating and car suddenly lurches forward like suddenly the gear catches on. Ultimately was diagnosed as a faulty transfer case and it had to be replaced.

About a month ago I had the expansion tank coolant leak. Leak was fixed, coils and spark plugs were also replaced.
Smelled pretty bad when it was leaking but never misfired.
