    i heard prestone is the one to lookout for. Aparently it eats away at the aluminum... Is this true?

    Green, orange, blue...
    I had a horrible experience with orange coolant in my GMC Envoy. Cost the warrantee company $1,000 because I let that **** kill the water pump rather than pay the $250 for the chemical flush.
    I would not use anything but BMW coolant. The piece of mind is worth twice the price difference.

    I just changed mine on my '91 525. I used the Zerex G05 (Yellow). Here's a link to product info, and a neat chart that Zerex provides. BTW, I picked up the coolant at Autozone for somewhere around $10.99.
