E91 330i stopped dead, place bets now.

Recommended Posts

Wife driving along, apparently got orange coolant warning, and then 3 seconds later red overheat warning, instantly pulled over and shut it off. Just got dropped off on a tow truck.

There is evidence of coolant around the reservoir, its definitely overflowed.

Battery is at 4v... maybe due to sitting on side of road with hazards and lights on. Had to pull apart the boot trim to get access to battery, it wont charge in the car as so flat the key is stuck in ignition and its trying to boot :) 

 

Will scan once its got some volts back in it, Id normally instantly say waterpump failure (it was running fine previously, no weirdness or codes), but the coolant splashes around reservoir don't really agree. No oil in coolant, or coolant in oil, no signs of broken lines or fittings.

I hope your 330i didn't catch a cold off my 325i when I stopped by ... ? 

Ive realized I live life on the edge owning a BMW, but wouldn't have it any other way.

Water pump randomly seized maybe? So got hot and started spitting out the resovior
