    Default Hi Bill, I ordered some yesterday on a parts order from bma and

    Patrick said they had it in 1.5 liter bottles, it worked out to about 18 a gallon that way. I just had him add it to an order for some mercedes parts

    youch!

    Coolant goes for about $26 to $30 in the BMW stealership of West Springfield MA. I use Preston Lowtox, and not complaining so far.

    Here in sunny England, I use Comma Xtreme Green which is approved by BMW. It works out at £2.50 a litre as opposed to over £5.00 a litre for the BMW stuff.

    The Comma stuff is available pretty much everywhere.
