Is It Time for Service on My 2023 BMW Alpina B8 Gran Coupe Cooling System?

It can be tough to know when to have your BMW Alpina B8 Gran Coupe radiator serviced if you don't know what it does, but it's still extremely important. As part of your car’s cooling system, your radiator helps keep engine temperature regulated. When the radiator isn't working properly, your engine can overheat and potentially break down.

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 2023 BMW Alpina B8 Gran Coupe is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. In fact, BMW recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific 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. When you experience one or more of these issues, head to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check.

Issues with your radiator often coincide with a malfunctioning water pump.

Take care of your 2023 BMW Alpina B8 Gran Coupe radiator and it will last. Check out our top questions and answers about BMW radiators below, and visit your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign of an overheating engine.

  • What does an illuminated coolant temperature light mean for my BMW? Your engine might be about to overheat. If your low coolant light is on, pull over in a safe area and wait for your engine temperature to go down. Once it’s safe to do so, bring your car to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have the coolant system inspected.
  • What are the puddles in my driveway or garage floor? It's better to get it fixed sooner than later. Antifreeze is toxic if consumed, but its smell can attract cats and dogs. Keep your whole family safe by repairing antifreeze leaks ASAP and thoroughly hosing down your parking spot to get rid of any lingering residue on the ground.
  • Can BMW Alpina B8 Gran Coupe radiators be cleaned? It could be a good idea to have your BMW Alpina B8 Gran Coupe radiator cleaned out a couple of times a year, maybe at the same time as a tire rotation or oil change.
  • Why is my Alpina B8 Gran Coupe overheating? One of the main reasons your BMW Alpina B8 Gran Coupe engine might overheat is because you don’t have enough coolant. Other causes include a clogged radiator, a damaged cooling fan, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a faulty water pump.
  • What is making my Alpina B8 Gran Coupe radiator sound like it’s boiling or rumbling? There could be air pockets in your Alpina B8 Gran Coupe’s cooling system. You might also have a clogged radiator or faulty radiator cap (this last one is an easy fix!).
