COOLANT CHANGE

[CYCLONE2]

Hello again, What is involved in changing coolant in the Z? Is there the usual drain petcock on the bottom of the radiator? Are there any other areas that also need to be addressed like a drain plug on the engine block?

Here's a good reference if your Z4 is pre 2006

veryhuman-------thanks so much for that reference page. I've got a 2005 Z4 3.0L and those pics even looked pretty much like what I'm dealing with. I was just getting ready to post a question about where's the oil filter. I was looking all around under the car and couldn't find it! I saw the canister on top and thought that was probably it, but thought I better ask first. I brought up the "how to change oil" tab and all my questions were answered. Once again, thanks so much! That's a great source to have.
