I always use g13 from the dealer mainly because they can void any warranty for repairs on your cooling system if they see there is not g13 in there (g13 is pink, other types are purple) and with a model that is known to have coolant system issues, i aint giving them the excuse to not fix something they should.

Pros: maintains warranty, prevents issues
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Only use modern Volkswagen G12evo coolant! This is required not optional, if you mix the wrong coolants you can create an acidic meta eating coolant mixture that will ruin your engine

Pros: prevents engine damage
Cons: mixing ruins engine

genuine BLUE BMW coolant (they released a GREEN BMW coolant around 2019 so remember to specify you want BLUE when ordering parts now). I dilute it 50/50 with distilled water (not tap water).

Pros: genuine BMW
Cons: specify blue
Vehicle: BMW

Yes, the documents say they are compatible - at the cost of losing some corrosion protection. Don\u2019t use G13 if you have a choice. G13 becomes acidic and causes leaks, and leaves deposits in the system which cause clogging. VW switched to G12evo for a reason.

Pros: compatible according to documents
Cons: losing corrosion protection

So you don't mix coolants. BMW coolant uses embedded teflon or something. Dump in the wrong coolant and you have to run (I kid you not) laundry detergent through the entire system several times, flush the shit out of it several times then replace every single rubber hose.

Cons: wrong coolant bad
