1700039 Venting and filling cooling system with vacuum filling unit: Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 15 other vehicles, including the 2015 BMW Alpina B7L, 2015 BMW Alpina B7, 2014 BMW Alpina B7L, 2014 BMW Alpina B7, and 2013 BMW Alpina. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: Lifetime coolant filling: 
Never reuse used coolant!
When replacing and removing components which rely on the corrosion protection effect of the coolant, it is essential to change the coolant. The cooling system must therefore be drained and refilled.
In the case of other removal work involving the draining of partial quantities of coolant, replace these quantities which have been drained with new coolant.
IMPORTANT: You must protect the alternator against contamination by coolant when carrying out repair work on the cooling circuit.
Cover alternator with suitable materials.
Failure to comply with this procedure may result in an alternator malfunction.

Note on ordering:

IMPORTANT: Risk of slipping due to coolant on the floor.
Risk of injury! 

Catch and dispose of emerging coolant in drip tray (1) and if necessary special tool 00 2 030 (universal hydraulic lifting equipment).
