Part: Antifreeze coolant

Topping up the coolant in a BMW 5 Series, as shown in this tutorial, is a very simple and quick operation.

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.
