How common is it that the radiator bursts on these cars, and if a radiator bursts what else should i look for in the future, i bought a 2009 320i with 113300 on the clock , a week later the radiator popped a leaked, gave it back to the dealership i bought it from and they replaced 2 pullies and the radiator, did a pressure test on the head gaskets and coolant system and that came back normal. I asked them to take it to BMW to get a diagnostic done on thier dime, but i need to know what i should be ready to ask them about when the car comes back :cartel:

Thanks

I had an issue with my 320i where the thermostat wasnt opening fully and causing pressure which in turned caused the pipes to start leaking as well as the radiator.
Replaced the radiator, most of the pipes and then the thermostat and all is good now.

Make sure to only use BMW coolant
