BMW E30 3-Series coolant is a liquid substance used to regulate the temperature of the engine in order to prevent overheating. It circulates through the engine and absorbs heat, then flows to the radiator where it is cooled down before returning to the engine.
Coolant is important because it helps maintain the operating temperature of the engine, which ensures that it runs efficiently and lasts longer. Overheating can cause serious damage to an engine, which is why maintaining the correct coolant level and quality is essential. Additionally, coolant contains corrosion inhibitors and lubricants that help protect the engine from rust and wear.

How to Add Coolant to Your BMW E30 3-Series
Here are the steps to add coolant to a BMW E30 3-Series:
- Make sure the engine is cool. You don't want to open the radiator or overflow tank while the engine is hot or you risk being burned by hot coolant.
- Locate the radiator. The radiator is located at the front of the engine compartment, behind the grille.
- Check the coolant level in the overflow tank. The overflow tank is located on the passenger side of the engine bay. The level should be between the "MIN" and "MAX" marks.
- If the coolant level is low, remove the cap from the overflow tank and add coolant until the level reaches the "MAX" mark.
- If the coolant level is extremely low, you may need to add coolant directly to the radiator. Open the radiator cap slowly and wait for any pressure to release before unscrewing it completely.
- Add coolant to the radiator until the level is just below the filler neck.
- Replace the radiator or overflow cap securely.
- Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes. Monitor the temperature gauge to make sure the engine does not overheat.
- Check the coolant level again after a few days of driving and add more if necessary.
- Dispose of any used coolant properly. Do not pour it down the drain or on the ground.
