[QUOTE="Grand, post: 427521, member: 6501"] A 2004 car with only 21K miles or 33.6K km on it? Quite suspicious. If it is true, the car must have been used for a lot of short trips which would necessarily involve start stop traffic. So the brown rusty sludge is inevitable. If you are not sure about the history of the car, better don't flush the engine. AFAIK, BMW never recommend the engine to be flushed in their manual. Lest it dislodge some sludge and lodge it at places where it is not supposed to be, blocking important passage or oil flow. [/QUOTE]
