I am still brain dead over its instructions on how to drain coolant. Open a

You can if you install a tee and back-flush with a hose until all you see is

Welcome to reality. Just wait until something breaks. Maybe you can give
someone your BMW and $1000 for an old 600-series Benz, and trade up in the

My 300E will stay at about 83F when cruising down the road. But when I get
into slower / town traffic (25 or 35 mph and stop lights), the temp will
quickly climb to 100F+. A couple of weeks ago in Omaha, it neared 120F.
Fortunately, I got to my destination before it overheated. In the interest

normal (car in drive, not park, such as at a stoplight -- putting it in park
raises the RPM and the oil pressure).

Checked when I came home from work. Car wasn't overly-hot -- reading about
90C on the temp gauge. Shut car down, and the fan spun for about 5 or 6
seconds before stopping.

No, it appears to be MB color -- but I won't know for sure until I drain it.
