2005 x3 2.5- coolant resivoir tank burst

Hi There,

I was wondering if anyone knewof this happening or had any advice for me.
I just bought a used 2005 X3 about 2 months ago, and 3 days ago was stopped at a red light. My engine started to smoke a little and by the time i started to pull away it was smoking alot and my temp guage started to rise. I pulled into a parking lot before the guage hit the red and shut the car down. I had it towed to a mechanic nearby and from what he has found is the coolant resivoir tank blew up. hes going to replace it but does anyone know why it would have blown?

on a side note...my a/c doesnt blow that cold of air. no compared to my wifes 2004 bmw 320i.

any thoughts?

thanks
