Have any OG M2 owners done a coolant change yet? Early cars will be 3 and a half years old now so getting towards the age where a coolant change would be considered, assuming you don’t buy in to BMW’s lifetime coolant idea. Mine is a Sep 16 build and is a keeper so I’m about to do a coolant change myself.

Glysantin make the coolant and they state 3-4 years being the lifetime so not consistent with BMW’s advice.

I did a coolant change on my M135i and I expect the M2 to be similar but there are some key differences;

You need to remove the front axle stiffening plate to access the water pump so that the hose can be removed for the drain, and replace the tension bolts.

Coolant capacity is 10.5 ltr vs 6.7 on standard N55.

I don’t have access to an air compressor so intend to just use the inbuilt bleed function to bleed trapped air. This worked fine on my M135i.

Has anyone else done this maintenance to their M2 yet?
