radiator drain valve

[325i dwn south]

Hey yall, I just but my bmw a few months ago (sweet a$$ drivin) and I'm just gonna be draining my radiator coolant tomorrow, but I'm miles from any store to get a bentley manual. I'd take my car to a prof. but they're pretty greedy when they're the only ones in town. So, I'm just curious where my drain valve is gonna be on my '90 325i... maybe a picture? Thanks

Driver's side bottom on the engine compartment side. It's a round plug with phillips type slots in it. Or pull the lower hose. There is also a drain on the block, a bolt head on the right side of the engine between two freeze plugs. Good luck.

The drain plug after time gets jammed in really hard. Just pop the lower radiator hose off and it will drain 9999x faster
