Antifreeze Pentosin or OEM BMW
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.
Pros: not too expensive
Cons: being cheap
Vehicle:
BMW
OEM stuff from BMW.

Pros: special additives
Vehicle:
BMW
Only the OEM bmw blue coolant. Don\u2019t use anything else.
Vehicle:

BMW coolant; it\u2019s cheapish, certified, and you should need it again unless a leak issue.
Pros: cheapish, certified
Cons: leak issue
Vehicle:
BMW
Pentosin has good equivalents.
Pros: good equivalents
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.
Pros: blue stuff is better
Cons: overpriced bmw shit
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.
Pros: no issues after miles
Cons: BMW coolant overpriced
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 196000 km
Drain/refill every two years for me, Pentosin coolant only!
Pros: Pentosin coolant only
I used 3 of those Pentosin blue with a bottle of Water Wetter and the rest is water.. my temp is 30 degree higher than it was before and I don't know what the heck it was in there before which is this yellow/green milky stuff, it sure kept the engine mostly below 180. But now I hit 220-230 easily
Pros: kept engine mostly below 180
Cons: temp 30 degree higher
