Coolant leak while charging

Nachbar · 03-15-2023, 10:50 PM

My 2015 i8 had a coolant leak, about 2 weeks ago. BMW replaced the coolant tank. I drove her about 2 weeks and checked the reservoir before and after each drive/charge. Last night, the warnig popped up. I checked just before the charging started.
So, what could be leaking, while charging, but not every time?
I also drove her once hard in electric mode and plugged her in. The compressor started immediately, to cool the batteries. But then she didn’t loose coolant fluid.

This just came to my mind: The battery was not empty. So this message might popped just at the end of charging.
