Check your coolant this morning?
Hey guys, so every time I check my coolant in the mornings I notice it's not even visible on the Minimum line. I added coolant and only needed like 3 oz to get to minimum. I do check when the car is warm and it is on the max. Is this normal when the car is cold? I did change my reservoir about 2 months ago. Let me know what you guys see in the mornings in your tank!

Just a pet peeve of mine. But to the OP's question, obviously only open the reservoir cap when the engine is cool and the cooling system has no pressure in it. But what you are witnessing is the normal expansion of the coolant under different states of temperature. And stop being so OCD about your car. You have Bmwitice.

It is exactly an expansion tank.
