Bleed nipple is located near the thermostat housing, can be tricky enough to bleed fully....The first garage that wasnt BMW failed to tell me that you have to release the air with a screw driver from the system before filling the coolant or else you falsely think it is full. ....
Did you get the cap for the expansion bottle changed as well? If you did it looks like the head gasket has blown and combustion gasses from the engine are been blown into the cooling system and are over pressurising the cooling system.Just found this thread. Have a BMW 318i 2001 automatic. Coolant light started to come on a few weeks ago, kept topping it up whiile the light was coming on. My mechaninc put a sealant into the water bottle, after which I had to be lifted off the N11 when the whole bottle blew. Got the car back to the garage, picked it up this evening, mechanic showed me the old bottle and input section. But by the time I was half way home it had blown again, managed to get to my house but now I'm back to square1. Very frustating.
