Good luck! It's doable but a bit dirty since you need to go under the car.

How'd it go? success? I'm tired of waiting for hubby to find time so thinking of tackling it myself.

I followed your instructions step by step and works properly.Thank you so much.Without this video i would never start to do this job.BIG THANKS

Great video. Just bought an E89 with 84k so I made a list of stuff to do. Well done!

Thanks for help bud. Was bleeding the coolant system on my E63 today and it worked brilliantly

Finally, a good video on this. My 2007 X3 was slightly different (the fan removal) but removing that made this job much easier and kept me from cussing much more than normal and throwing tools, lol. I was beyond frustrated until I saw your video. THANK YOU!

Very resourceful video with key tips, thank you for creating this video.

amazing video!!! really helped me.

Dude, you are the man. Thank you

THANK FOR THE HELP. VERY MUCH.

Thank you As always you are the best explain clear detailed, 1 question should I leave the expation tank open while doing the bleeding or close tigth? Thank you in advance

excellent thanks...

Hi, my e60 n52b25 are having overheating issues. The radiator fan run full speed at start up, my ac totally dead(sometime it can be turn on for a short while before it went dead). After driving for few minutes the overheating warning appear. The coolant bleed process require the ac to be set to 'hot' and blower set to minimum. Since my ac totally dead, i cant perform the bleed process. What could be my problems? Water pump or thermostate? Thanks

I noticed the first hose had a Permanent Clamp but was not a problem to pull off. But the other two hoses shown in your video didn't have permanent clamps but adjustable screw tightened clamps. Unfortunately, for me I just discovered that I have permanent clamps. Go figure. Thanks BMW.

does the code go away after fixing or do you have to clear the code with a scanner tool?

In my case, I cleared the code and it never came back. Now it's almost 8 months and everything works perfect! Not only this, due to thermostat, there might be bunch of other staff like sudden halt of the engine (computer turns it off to prevent overheating), high pressure in the coolant system causes other components to fail like cracks/holes in hoses or expansion tank.

Yep. It went away.

I would like to know what you did specifically to get the Coolant to drain. Is there a bolt or plug at the outlets where you attached the drain hose? Also what size diameter hose did you use to attach to the coolant spewing radiator drain outlet?

Hi. There is a plastic bolt on the bottom of the radiator that could be unscrewed with fingers. I used a piece of hose that I found nearby me. It was about 1/2 inch inside diameter but not sure about exact fit. Mine was a bit loose but did the job. You don't really need a hose if you have large pan Under the radiator.

I just tried removing my fan from my 2008 528xi. However, it appears you neglected to mention there is a 2” Hose running parallel to the bottom of the fan that’s attached to clamps similar to the clamp found on the passenger side of the fan. Why did you not mention the necessity to to first remove the parallel hose at the bottom. This hose prevents the fan from moving upward.

@@carmelom269 I know why I didn't mention. :) In my case, someone else before me broke the plastic clips and the hose underneath is not connected to the fan. It's just up in the air. But you are right, there suppose to be plastic clips that hold the hose.

Stanislav Oleynik Thank you for acknowledging that grave omission. Also, at 1:42 of your video, you understated and misrepresented the significance of moving the passenger side hose. I believe you stated all one has to do is just slightly push the hose back toward the engine. But, again that’s not accurate because that hose is actually fastened attached to the clamp bolted to the fan frame. So you should have directed viewers to first detach the hose from the clamp then push back toward the engine to create space. Those clamps are significant as I wasted several hours trying figure out why I could get the fan to release upward as the hoses were all attached to the surrounding clamps. But, thank you for your effort and for sharing your DIY info on this project. Although I may sound critical please know I’m also appreciative.

Cut them hose clamps and just put 2 new ones on it clocked in better position to be able to tighten ect!! Time is $$ cut them clamps pit new on

What specific year and model is this Vehicle? I have a 2008 E60 528Xi. I notice your trolley jack is positioned on a block near the front Center of vehicle which is not a spec BMW recommended Jack Point. I’m curious to know whether my 2008 528Xi is equipped with this center jack point.

I have 2008 e60 528i. Even though you have a full-drive version, you should probably have the same front frame bar that you can use to lift up the BMW. After lifting the vehicle be sure to add few jack-stands to secure the car! I used jack-stands on the sides of the car where you usually use the jack. There should be little triangles under the front doors, showing where you need to place the jack or jack-stands.

@@waspsps Yes, I found the center frame support block. I could not see before because the front engine cover was masking it. Once I removed the screws and cover, the center frame support was revealed and I now used be able to use a trolley jack to lift vehicle from center so I can then use two Esco Flat Top jacks stands with and Custom BMW Jack Pad adapters

Is your steering wheel located on the left-side (like U.S. cars) or the Right Side. I just noticed I have a plethora of hoses and pipes blocking access to both the electrical connector and the two screws on the thermostat that do not appear in your video. It looks like I need to first remove all that extra hosing and piping just to access the electrical connector which makes me think you’re working on a completely different E60 than mine.

@@carmelom269 , I have the regular left-sided e60. I'm in California, so it's US model, not Great-Britan or right-sided steering wheel. Hopefully, it helps.

No real need to remove the fan imo it can all be done from underneath the car. Eeither way its a bitch to get the hoses on and off, help them along with silicone spray (when putting back on of course).

Them hoses are fucken pain to take off 😡

Poor video
