coolant flush 87 m6

Post by emac »

Time to flush coolant. I noticed my 87 m6 doesnt have the typical BMW drain plug on the radiator to drain the coolant. I also noticed the lower hose isnt at the bottom of the radiator. What is the best way to flush the coolant?

I was thinking of pulling the lower hose, maybe draining the block, and refilling. Any other tricks? Thank you.

Agreed with pulling lower hose, then draining block.
