[QUOTE="jarance, post: 635713, member: 21"] Just go to any workshop that deal with BMW. They usually have a lot of these bleeder on the old expansion tank laying around. Now your problem is how to remove the part that is broken and still stuck in the expansion tank. You may need to remove the expansion tank and drill out the broken part with a drill that is smaller in diameter than the threaded part. OH YES, the part is important as it bleed the air from the cooling system. If there is a leak, you will lose all the coolant and cause engine overheating. [/QUOTE]
