BMW added aux pump that runs coolant to turbos to transfer the heat out of the v-valley.. It works if you have enough juice in the battery. But I agree its poor design, runs too hot and all the plastic pieces and gaskets around turbos need replacement every 60k miles. |

another note on those partitions, look for somewhat recent threads about it, many including myself applied heat tape on face of the partitions before installing them, it might be not much but something to keep it little cooler!

The coolant pump does a great job keeping your turbo bearings from burining up. Doesn't help the oil return lines sitting right next to your exhaust manifolds though. Ditch the partition and ditch the cover and extend the life of everything under the hood, or don't and hopefully your service rep is cute....
