Hey guys,

Just wondering if you used a specific type of coolant to put into your cars, or whether you just go grab whatever from your local gas station/pepboys/strauss and throw it in there. I need to go get some so, just wondering. Thanks!

50/50 water downed non corrosive.

I use the PEAK one with blue container.

OEM BMW coolant. I've seen too many issues with anything else. Aluminum pitting, o rings failing and stuff.

I use BMW blue OEM coolant, like he said i seen to many issues with others. On my e30 it didn't matter i just used the Green coolant since the m20 was so bullet proof and the fact that parts were really cheap for it lol
