replacing radiator

I have an 03 MCS, and im replacing the radiator on it. Does anyone know if there is a purging valve on it somewhere? i know hondas and other bmw's have one to purge air from the lines and prevent over heating. Thanx guys

Unfortunately there isn't. This is the reason why its a pain to bleed the cooling system on the S.

Yes there is. Look at #5 on this diagram:

Even with this, the MCS is a bit of a pain to bleed fully.
