use Zerex G-05. available at most auto parts store for around $9 per container.
i did extensive research, and the stuff is very very similar (and approved by mercedes benz, audi, etc)
Agreed, got my radiator, new shroud, clips and other misc. stuff and Partrick recommended the Mercedes coolant over the BMW coolant, same stuff (he said) but different color, ask him about it.Originally Posted by bimmerd00d

OK, I'll ask them when I call them today. Thanks for the recommendations.

I'm having my leaky water pump replaced tomorrow. Currently there is green coolant in the system - am I to understand BMW requires a special coolant?
coolant is coolant ( use the one made for aluminum blocks) as long as you change it every at least every two years. my .02
For as much as I change my coolant, ill spend the extra 3 dollars a year and use the "cool blue" BMW stuff.
