Prestone coolant. That's extremely good.
Pros: extremely good quality
I run the prestone green coolant in my e36 since 2006 and my 540i/6 since 2008. They're both fine. The old engine still looked & ran great. The radiator in my 540i was still from 1998 until very recently when I did a cooling system refresh - entirely preventive.
Pros: reliable performance, engine longevity
Vehicle:
BMW
Prestone teal colored euro coolant has never failed me.
Pros: reliable performance
Vehicle:
BMW
I use the Prestone 50/50 Prediluted coolant which states “guaranteed for all vehicles American/Asian/European” on the label. It is yellow/green. Zero issues because it matches the specs in the manual.
Pros: zero issues, matches specs
Vehicle:
Kia
I use Prestone teal European car formula. No problems yet
Pros: no problems yet
Vehicle:

OE BMW coolant should be your first choice, and if it can’t be, second would be another reputable coolant maker that offers a European vehicle variant. For example, Prestone makes a blue in color variant formulated for use in euro cars. I’ve used both, never had an issue with either.
Pros: no issues with either
Vehicle:
BMW
Replace the orange stuff with new Prestone orange stuff.
Pros: recommended replacement

Prestone does work, but Toyota uses RTV to seal the coolant passages between timing cover/thermostat housing and engine block. Prestone uses 2-EHA which has been shown to be aggressive on silicone, however it’s not uncommon to see leaks with the OE coolant that uses sebacic acid which is also a plasticizer. That said, I have a Sienna and LS430 that’s filled with Prestone, no coolant leaks… yet.
Pros: no coolant leaks
Cons: aggressive on silicone, potential leaks
Vehicle:
Toyota Sienna
Do not use Prestone 50/50. It is technically compatible, but it is a different formulation. Using Prestone 50/50 will shorten your service intervals to 36,000 miles. Beyond 36,000 miles you will cause damage to occur to the seals.
Pros: technically compatible
Cons: shorten service intervals, cause damage
Mileage: 57936 km
