    What type of coolant is ok in my 01 E38??

    Do I need to spend the extra $$ for BMW coolant? Or is there an easily accessible alternative?

    Just go with the BMW stuff. It's not that much more expensive.

    As long as it's phosphate-free, it's fine ... none of my BMWs have seen anything BUT the green Prestone ...
