if possible, get the car to Club motors Fountains, best dealership to sort out all your issues.
I feel your pain but it is better than spending your own money to fix this... let them replace parts till they find the problem
Coolant issue could be your waterpump and thermostat on its way out. If your car is
close to 100k then you should strongly consider having them replaced. Closely monitor this as my car started losing power before the waterpump failed. You get a yellow engine light due to the power loss and almost immediately the yellow heat gauge (symbol)and red overheat light in succession. My car was just out of plan 105k. Tune Tech replaced both the pump and thermostat for me. My extended warranty only covered the more expensive item which was the waterpump.
Bmw will only fix once it's broken unfortunately if your still on plan.

So, Just picked up the car after 2 weeks at JSN, its doing the same thing.. They replaced front shocks and that still hasn't sorted the problem.
I think now i will go to a TWT to get the alignment checked and have them set it up. I chatted to a guy in the Roodepoort Branch before i took it to BM and he reckons there is a very specific way this must be setup to get that loose feeling to go away. But im afraid there's something else that we are missing here.
I think it feels worse now than it did before.
I dont know what else to do here. JSN tested the car and their "test driver" said its fine. I dont understand how someone that drives these cars for a living cant feel that something isn't right...

No expert here, but I recently had wheel alignment done on my 335i and I was quite surprised by how much negative camber the rears wheels have. Was a bit bummed as only got 20,000km off my set of rear tyres. Asked around about reducing the negative camber to try save tyres and loads of people warned that doing that would the make the car's rear feel lose and not properly planted down? Hopefully its just something as simple as wheel alignment?
I 100% agree with the others guys above and BMW must sort it out and give you a print out of the wheel alignment. I can send you a copy of my report for wheel alignment if you like to compare it too?
Good luck and don't let them off the hook. The more everyone keeps making the stealers do things properly, maybe one day we wont have to fight so hard with them.
