Antifreeze OEM BMW or OEM Volkswagen

BMW blue only.

BMW only. Not saving yourself any money in the long run being cheap with this particular fluid. It isn\u2019t even that much more expensive than other brands.

OEM stuff from BMW.

Only use bmw brand it has special additives for the electric water pump

Only the OEM bmw blue coolant. Don\u2019t use anything else.

BMW coolant; it\u2019s cheapish, certified, and you should need it again unless a leak issue.

The blue stuff is definitely better than the green from my experience. I use the overpriced bmw shit but I think you could probably use the cheap blue stuff just as well.

Don't buy BMW coolant it's overpriced just like everything else they sell. Blue coolant is preferred but the premixed green stuff isn't going to cause catastrophic meltdowns. My 97 328i has the green stuff and I've got no issues after 196k miles.

They called her back again to say after they started working on it, it's not the water pump, but a coolant leak at the cylinder head, at the head gasket, so what was originally a water pump, is now a head gasket job, 3-4 days.

I also had the coolant replaced. I asked for the OEM stuff, which I guess is pink (?). They said mine was pretty much black !
