Can You Still Drive When BMW Warns of Low Engine Coolant?
1 Answers
When BMW warns of low engine coolant, you should not continue driving. Operating the vehicle with insufficient coolant can lead to elevated engine temperatures, potential engine damage, and reduced engine lifespan. Therefore, when the vehicle alerts you to low coolant levels, it is essential to safely pull over, add coolant promptly, and schedule an inspection and repair at a BMW service center. Coolant should be replaced every 2 to 3 years or every 40,000 kilometers. When selecting coolant, ensure its freezing point is approximately 10 degrees Celsius below the lowest environmental temperature. In addition to its antifreeze properties, coolant also serves functions such as corrosion prevention, boiling resistance, and scale inhibition. The BMW X5 is BMW's first four-wheel-drive SUV model, with dimensions of 4930mm in length, 2004mm in width, 1776mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2975mm.
