Is It Time for Service on My 2003 BMW 325Ci Cooling System?

If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your BMW 325Ci radiator serviced. Nonetheless, it's still extremely important.

When the radiator isn't working properly, your engine can overheat and potentially break down.

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 2003 BMW 325Ci is essential for long-term engine health. To keep your radiator functioning, BMW recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator.
