    Default Coolant volume in M50 520i

    What is the volume of engine cooling system in M50 520i? Which antifreeze would you reccommend? What about www.mannol.de
    I am discarding all the antifreeze which already in engine as I do not know what type it is. Should I flush the cooling system? I am planning to use CRC Engine Cleaner. http://www.crcind.com/csp/web/ProdDi...ess=AUTOMOTIVE


    Thanks everybody!

    As far as I found in the internet, color of the antifreeze isn't really related with quality. Its just added so that people does not drink it mistakenly, or to distinguish products of one manufacturer from the other.
    the most important thing is the chemical composition of the antifreeze. Did anybody use mannol (www.mannol.de) antifreeze before?
