The car overheated seemingly out of nowhere. About 8:25 AM on the date of the incident I noticed my heat wasn’t blowing hot. I figured I just didn’t let the car warm up enough. I began to drive home after work at approximately 4:00pm and the warning yellow light came on stating ‘drive moderately, at risk of overheating). I slowed down and drove very gently. The warning light went away. A few minutes later it came back on so I slowed down again. I was on back roads and not driving fast anyway. I then turned to go home and at the beginning of a bridge the light turned from yellow to red and said pull over. I couldn’t pull over on a bridge but pulled off as soon as I was able, about three minutes later. I coasted into the nearest parking lot and had the car towed to the dealership. Their determination was it was leaking coolant from the oil filter housing area. They removed the intake manifold and repaired the car. I’m not sure exactly what was done. I want to know if the overheating was due to the ongoing recall of the coolant systems in the BMW. If so, I want to know why my car wasn’t included in the recall and why a remedy wasn’t performed. Receipt of the estimate was April 26, 2025
