Personally I did nothing.
My son however.... lets just say, he somehow had my spare key..
He also somehow had it when in the car with me.
He then also somehow, opened his window to see how cold it was outside...
.. and I've yet to find the key. He tells me he didn't have the key near the window.. yet had it before we went out... and didn't when we arrived at our destination...
Why did he have my spare key? That's a great question... I had just put it in a nice new case with a wrist strap, he wanted to wear it and be an "Adult".
Well this "Adult" will no longer be getting a new console for his birthday. (He's 5)..

Thanks, booked in for a test drive at a local BMW dealer and if I’m happy they will ship the car I want in from one of their other sites.
edit: Given the choice, Donnington Grey or Marina Bay Blue?

How have you been getting on with this?
After topping the coolant up myself:
Day 1 - 500ml
Day 2 - 100ml
Day 3 - 100ml
I've now gone 4 days without any further coolant loss.
I'm wondering if the issue was actually a faulty cap for the main tank causing coolant to evaporate over time. Now I've replaced the cap, it's needed two additional top ups after the first big one, as coolant works it's way through/air that was in the system.
I'm really confused now

Mine’s looking ok I think. I checked at the weekend and it was still between min and max, so fingers crossed all is well.How have you been getting on with this?

Glad yours seems ok too. Do you do many miles per day?

Apart from a 30 minute round trip to drop my daughter off a school, I'm not driving a lot at the moment. It's sufficient to get the B58 up to optimum temperature.
I've got two trips into my work office next week so will see if I get any coolant loss.

Might be worth making up some mixed coolant to take with you and check it when you’re due to return so it’s cooled off.

Got a 2l bottle of mixed coolant in the boot for emergency 
I’d have to see them in the flesh to be honest, neither colour does anything for me on Google images.
Marina Bay Blue for me but everybody has different tastes. I can't stand grey cars
This. There are already too many grey cars on the road.

When speaking to the dealer, I said it looked more silver than grey but the salesman said its pearlescent and looks kind of gold colour as you say when in the sun. Will see on Friday, if I like it or not. Its the better specced car so am erring on the side of the Donnington Grey if I get on with it
