Hey guys, I had this line burst this morning and no it's not the coolant expansion tank hose I've already gone through that dilemma which is common on the things however this line I'm not sure but it runs right along the expansion tank hose?

Yes it is. I've replaced mine 3 times since 2013 and will again when I install a new radiator this fall just as preventive maintenance. Why the heck BMW doesn't address this piece of junk part is beyond me.

Because unlike the folks who will R&D their solutions here in the forum, most folks will grace their presence at the dealerships, and a few hundo's will go to dealer's pocket for the labor, while BMW gets a few more dollars for the part. Everyone win on that side of the fence.

Has anyone bothered trying to R&D a solution for the Coolant expansion tank hose yet?
