Radiator popsicle ....

[RockJock]

Had to bring the trusty e34 535iM out of hibernation this morning, because....

Let my truck warm up then drove off, got half-way down the block when I saw the temp needle climb from the middle all the way to the top....$hit!!

Got it back into the driveway with a puddle of antifreeze under the rad, checked the coolant and it was only good to minus 18 degrees C. Had it flushed in October, not going to trust them anymore ...

Conditions: -48 degrees C with a wind-chill, had truck plugged in overnight though...., not the coldest I've seen, many moons ago I spent a winter up at Great Bear Lake, -55 degrees C (no wind-chill), pretty common that year....had to keep all vehicles running 24/7.....

note to self--->move down under asap!

I didn't know we had a colony on Pluto (brrrrrrrr)!

Dude you really need to move a little further south .

How did the 535 perform in such temps? Where are you, by the way?

rj if you still live anywhere near the nwt (i thought you were in sweden!?) i just can't believe anyone would be daft enough to put that kind of coolant in. sympathies, dude that is brutal.
