E92 M3 Milky coolant

[SWIIVX]

My e92 m3 Has a milky substance in the coolant reservoir ONLY, I’ve seen a couple of videos saying it’s a bad filter housing gasket.

Has anyone had this problem before, any idea what it could be and is it safe to drive my car for short drives keeping in mind that my engine oil is completely normal?

This is pretty rare to hear on this platform. I'd change out the oil filter housing gaskets and see if that fixes your problem.
The oil filter housing gasket failing is usually on a high mileage 08 thing.

I would not drive my car with milky coolant.

Any pics pls? Oil mixing with coolant is never a good sign. Worse case scenario you have a cracked block. I wouldn't drive it until I fixed it.

No, do not drive until you have the problem sorted. Oil in the coolant is not something to take chances with. Replace the gasket, flush and refill the coolant and change the oil before driving the car. Oil in the coolant indicates oil moving to the coolant when under pressure, however when you turn off the car the oil pressure goes to nothing and the coolant pressure remains. You can't be certain there in no coolant in the oil. You have no dipstick. GL

Yeah you would have to drain oil to see if jt went the other way. Sounds like a blown headgasket to me

Does the car overheat in anyway way? (idling, driving etc )
Idea when the last coolant service was done ?
Pictures would help of what your seeing

FYI:The car was driven atleast 1k miles before i discovered This and nothing changed about the way the car drives the car doesn’t overheat and no check engine light I’ll try to post a picture from my desktop later on today.
Edit: I also did an oil analysis that’s why I said my engine oil is completely fine.
