    Do a search fro "coolant" and have fun deciding what to do.

    If you don't have hours of your life to spare and you live relatively close to a dealership, go buy some 'blue' stuff from them and forget about it.

    Take a look at your hose clamps in case they need replacement. Someone else can tell you where the drain plug(s) are on the M60. I have no clue where the block drain is located.

    For coolant either use the Zerex mentioned above, or the BMW blue coolant along with distilled water.

    Pelicanparts.com has a pretty good price on the 'stat & housing. Might want to get the upper & lower radiator hoses from them as well. And stuff from Pelican gets up here to WA pretty quick. And I'd stay away from the aluminum 'stat housing, stick with the OE composite plastic style. The aluminum ones are poorly cast and frequently leak. And they'll also warp.
