Today we are completing a basic annual oil change and coolant exchange on my 2016 X5 with the N55 motor. I say coolant exchange because you are not actually flushing the system. In theory, the fluid is lifetime use. but what that means in reality is the lifetime of the fluid which varies on use. If you perform this fluid exchange a few times you'll be solid.
To activate the water pump:
1- Connect battery charger.
2- Switch the ignition on.
3- Switch on low-beam headlight.
4- Set heater to maximum temperature and turn blower down to lowest speed.
5- Make sure you are not in ECO PRO!
6- Press the accelerator pedal for 10 seconds to floor. Engine must not be started.
7- The bleeding procedure was started by pressing the accelerator pedal and takes approx. 12 mins. (the electrical coolant pump was activated and switches off automatically after approx. 12 mins.).
8- Then adjust fluid level in the coolant expansion tank to the maximum.
