Is It Time for Service on My 2011 BMW 335i xDrive Cooling System?

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your BMW 335i xDrive radiator serviced, but it's still extremely important. Your radiator is part of the cooling system.

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 2011 BMW 335i xDrive 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. You might be driving around (or about to be stranded) with a failing radiator if you notice a low coolant light or higher-than-normal engine temperatures on your dashboard, or if you spot coolant leaks coming from your car.
