Did you vacuum fill the coolant sometime after to get rid of the air bubbles?

For what it's worth, I've already changed my harmonic balancer with a Corteco brand one, 1+ years ago.
Add two more things to my monthly inspections. Thanks!

I purchased the OEM set from FCP, so they can be grandfathered in to the old LFG program. Was about to go with the Redline 75W85 GL-5, which they claim interchangeability with the front and rear BMW part numbers. Even my trusted indy recommended it, but he recommended to stick with OEM for now since car's still in warranty.

FYI. Working on a new Rev of the schedule, found some things that were slightly off.
