Interesting Dave; I wonder how long they'll honour that for? Am I correct in recalling some owners with 'the fixed radiators' have had those fail as well?
Well, the issue from my perspective.. I do not know the cars radiator revision. The last radiator fitted 18 months ago was meant to be the latest variation of radiator to fix the issue, it was fitted together with an ECU software update that changed how the car warm up phase is controlled. This is a little more complicated on the BMW engine, as in warm up stage it uses a ECU controlled rotary valve to direct coolant flow to areas of the engine and then the radiator. All I know about the radiator being fitted is that it is the latest revision.. so I dont know if its the same as the one fitted 18 months ago or if indeed its a later update. I guess the factory know, but they are not saying.
We have kept faith with the car and the factory, but its pushing the boundary of what is acceptable now.. the radiator failures are going on for years.
