I wonder if the BMW coolant bleed procedure causes the expansion tank to rupture. When you open the bleeder screw and fill the reservoir until fluid seeps out of the bleeder, that's a lot of coolant. At least the three times I did it, it seemed like the reservoir was really full, and even after doing the bleed procedure it seemed like the reservoir was overfilled. Last time I did it on my 335, the tank was leaking from the seams.

Agreed, normally a super-easy job!!! But not this time around! I think I was tired and just fumbled it :-/
I betcha the X5 tanks have a design flaw. Mine started leaking at the exact same spot shown at 9:00 in this video. Flat plane, no seams or joint. Betcha some engineer went to town with the CAD and got a bonus for saving .03€ per tank on material costs. Sure, just a coincidence...
