Coolant pressure tester for our BMWs?

Anyone uses or used a kit? I'm not sure what is out there that works for pressure testing coolant on the expansion tank (since rad doesn't have cap right?)

All I see online are little adapters you can buy from tuners.

Ive never pressure tested a system because if I havent had a leak I have never had a problem.

Yeah it's just something that would be good to have though if you do a coolant flush and then you run it to make sure you haven't caused any leaks.

And helps tremendously when do you have a leak you can't find.
