Topping up the coolant in a BMW 5 Series, as shown in this tutorial, is a very simple and quick operation. First, ensure the engine is completely cold, as any spillage of hot liquid can be very dangerous.

Start by opening the hood, then locate the cap of the expansion tank: it is located just behind the left headlight. Once the cap is open, place a funnel in the opening and add the necessary amount of coolant to reach a level between the minimum and maximum.
