It should come out there.

So maybe you are lucky and it's not the pipe leaking...

OTOH, it is possible that it leaks to the outside of the engine and the water comes down at the water pump, when the O-Ring is not yet totally broken...

Correct, unless a legal problem.

Case is pending, I'm still in contact with BMW, I'll adress this later on the forum.
Currently, there's not much I can do...

I'm also still putting together all the infos and am trying to get as much details as possible.

Sorry to hear about this. Hope everything gets resolved in a most satisfactory way.

Where is this switch? Can you show me on realoem?

It is a unit with fins on it at side of engine, it allows water and oil to pass through unit.

My Ride: See sig :)

scary stuff, been reading a lot of these issues on the 4.4 motors...

Any way to catch this problem early? Symptoms etc? BMW should do a recall, $8000 is absurd, tim<div align='left'></div>e to switch to benz? Perhaps...
