Great! Thanks guys, that will be done soon.
Is it really necessary to replace the washer on the block plug?

Depends on what it looks like. Use you judgement.

Well I feel like I partially failed. I only drained about 1.1 gallon through the two blue screws at radiator and expansion tank. Could put my angled driver on the 13mm engine block plug but could not move it. I was stuck between the sway bar and the power steering hoses. So I moved on without emptying the block.
The old coolant was still nice and clean and bluish. I figured that it would be ok. I added a full gallon of the BMW coolant and a quarter of a gallon of distilled water. I guess that means 3/4 of a gallon of the old stuff was left behind.
I drove around. No lights. All good for now. I will add water tomorrow.
The good news and successful component of this story is that the awful engine noise is gone.

You'll be fine, but yeah, a large portion is held in the block.

Yea, that block bolt won. Wonder if shorter wrench might have worked.
Thanks guys. That awful racket in the engine bay had me worried.
Oh, and if this could help the next one, when you pull the pump with the m6 bolts, at least a quarter of a gallon comes rushing out. Bit of a mess, went over both belts, etc....
Temp last night reached 95 degrees Celsius as before. So the claimed 20 percent flow increase from the Stewart water pump does not affect temperature it seems.

I guess this is the month for engine noises.
I have developed a high pitched whine that is intermitent. Ordered new idlers last night.
Going to replace them this weekend of they get here in time.
Oli, great job diagnosing it and with the fix!
