My car is approaching the 60K soon, I'm looking to do most of the maintenance myself starting with the coolant replacement, then the brake fluid and ending with the transmission fluid replacement.

I've searched for a DIY on the coolant replacement but cannot find anything. Can someone please show me where to find a DIY instruction on the coolant replacement.

Thanks

Has anyone done the coolant flush before? I searched and found some instructions at other forums but just want to see if there is a DIY for it in this forum.

Thanks

I have just done a coolant change on my 530d E60. Tried to undo the bleed screw on the radiator which disintegrated in my hand. Bad design and cheap material. Ended up removing the bottom hose which is more messy. Topped up with fresh coolant and deairated. Job done.
