X5M turbo coolant pipe leak?

"metal T's with bleed screws"

Having bleed screws on the Tees is pure brilliance! Even if I didn't seem to need to bleed mine after replacement. I still wish I bought the ones with bleed screws.

As far as I know, these are the original parts that came with my car. I was glad to see I didn't have to replace them. I wish they did the same with the Y fitting.

Anyone have a quick link to the Y fitting they purchased, or did everyone go with the high dollar stainless one?

I have been getting the bad coolant burning smell in the cabin.

Those crap clamps BMW uses from factory will begin to atomize coolant, I changed all of the small clamps to screw style clamps while replacing the small hoses from the turbos just after the metal ones. You ll have to powerwash the coolant off your motor else the smell won't go away. BMW uses those clamps as they are hose friendly, they don't rip into the how like screw clamps would thus the hoses technically would last a lot longer, but overtime and expansion the hoses begin to leak.
