At 71888 miles the radiator of my bmw 540i broke because of a crack in the plastic housing around the outlet.i had read about this problem on the roadfly message board. i read that the raditors broke around the hose and they only lasted about 50,000 miles. when i read it, i wondered if i was due, about a month later, i was setting at a stop light and when the light turned green, i accelerated away from the light and as i did i saw steam coming out of the fender wells. it first i thought it was another car, but soon realized it was mine. i pulled over and called to have the car towed to the dealership. it was the radiator and the plasic housing broke around the hose.this is a serious mechanical flaw in a automobile that otherwise is pretty darn good. i don't see why bmw can just provide an all metal radiator, or beef up the plastic around the hose to restand the strain.
