BMW cooling system problems?
I'm seeing a good bit of 7+ year old BMW's come in with cooling systems (plastic reservoirs, radiators) that are cracking/leaking. Is their plastic just that bad or is this an indication of not changing the coolant every couple years? I have about come to the conclusion that it is not if they start leaking but when.

Yeah the BMW guys I know say that at 7-10 years drop a G note and replace all the plastic before it starts to fail.
