Is It Time for Service on My 2006 BMW 325i Cooling System?

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your BMW 325i radiator serviced, but it’s vital to know what to look for.

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

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 2006 BMW 325i is essential for long-term engine health. BMW recommends that you replace coolant (also called antifreeze) at certain intervals, but it’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for any indication that your radiator is failing.
