Washed the car today and was taking a quick look under the hood to make sure everything was kosher and im seeing some coolant residue. Wondering if this is normal or if i should investigate this further.

All my past cars have been used so coolant residue was kind of normal lol. but this ones got just over 3k so i dont know. any help/thoughts would be appreciated.

I have absolutely none of this at 6k miles so I would believe that it is not normal. Are you sure it’s not dried salt water?

I used to get it on my 2019 430i. I kept a bottle of distilled water in the trunk to top off the coolant. Service manager said it was common with that engine.

Spotted this today - 2023 M240i with 17,000 ish on the clock. Off to the dealer as it's on warranty. I thought I would share—a little reminder to look under the bonnet more often.
