6 radiators

I didn't know the F95 had 6 radiators and 4 water pumps. Probably all electric too. Can you say $$$$ when warranty is over?? I took a chance with my E70 and after factory warranty ended i kept it for another 5 years out of warranty. It was good to me, i only had to replace a leaking oil cooler. The F95 has a lot of technology, i might reconsider that idea for this one. From the BMW X5M overview...."The racetrack-proven cooling system in the M TwinPower Turbo V-8 engine includes four water pumps, six radiators, and a dedicated transmission cooler."
It should never run hot....

Haha, I still have my 2012 E70. It probably cost BMW more than I paid for it for warranty and recall repairs, but it cost me some $ out of pocket too, maybe 12-15k over the years. Still love the car, it has that BMW's traditional essence.

The much more sophisticated cooling system in the F95/96 should keep the engine in a much better shape long term. My F96 is the first BMW ever that isn't consuming oil, at least thus far. But of course, if the coolant system fails, it's going to cost. This is why I'm more partial to leasing vs buying.
