My Ride: Alpine White 2006 530Xi (SLD)
Nothing like a great indie for this problem. I had it a few months ago, also had the thermostat and water pump replaced, then it misfired on me, I got scared and thought maybe the engine block is cracked. And then I found a good indie and he fixed her up like new in a matter of hours. 
Hang in there! These are some robust cars we have here

When mine leaked it was the expansion tank which holds the coolant. I also replaced a lot of the hoses as they looked old. Not leaking anymore. Have you done a pressure test as the radiator could be leaking?
