I ended up getting a FAG front hub&bearing from FCP. I don't know if it was random or a mistake but i was happy. The OEM bearings are FAG btw.Comment

per owner's manual:Originally posted by rafiki
"Cooling system including heater circuit
318i/s 6.9 US quarts/6.5 liters"
6.9 US quarts = 1.7250 US gallons
Use of genuine BMW (blue) coolant is strongly recommended by many.
Get one (~$20) gallon of BMW coolant and have an empty 1 gallon jug handy. Pour half of the BMW coolant into the empty gallon jug. Fill both (1/2 full) coolant jugs to the top with distilled water. Then you're set with two gallons of ready-mixed fluid. Since capacity is ~1 & 3/4 US gallons, you'll have just the right amount to spare as air is worked from system.
Purcell's coolant bleeding guide. (procedure i used w/ good results) (removing upper-most coolant hose from radiator and back-filling first also seemed to work well) (here are more words in parenthesis)Comment

thanks for the info. im out of town at the moment. wont be able to do that again. But that pretty much exactly how much coolant i put in the car. so i know that its not just low on coolant :( theres a bigger problem.
When I open the drain valve on the bottom nothing but fluid comes out. i really dont think there is air in the system. its a perfect stream. god im going to be so pissed if my head is cracked.
what are signs on a crack head? leaking coolant? white smoke?
god damn it, i really dont want to look for a swap just yetComment
