1997 BMW 318i, sedan. The car overheated. I turned the car off immediately. The car was towed home. A friend who is an aircraft mechanic and who has worked on it before said there is a specially bent hose for the collant system that wraps around the back side of the engine. Right where it connects to the firewall it is cracked. He recommended to drop the engine to get this repaired. Is that how you would repair this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated... :)
