  Have a shop check this out ASAP, before you blow your motor from a lack of coolant. I work on BMW cooling system issues every week, at 61,000 you will need some work. The water pumps can wear out by then as well as the coolant reserve bottles, the thermostat, even the radiators can go out by then. These are NOT cheap cars to keep running correctly, if you don't already know that.

  here are some shops:
