Elevate the nose, turn car on, heater valve open?

Also helps if you loosen the temp sensor allowing air to escape when the nose is up.

Remember... no Teflon tape on that temp sensor. Needs a good ground through the threads.

It has straight threads, not tapered pipe threads and uses a seal ring.  I haven'f found anywhere on BMWs that use pipe threads.

Somewhere in my stash I have an aftermarket "tee" (for the oil pressure sensor to add a gauge IIRC) with 1/4" NPT on one of the outlets.  But it's not factory for sure!  And not installed on my car.  So it doesn't count.  Jim's still right as usual.
