LemonHunter 583 Report post Posted August 31, 2006 What brand(s) Of Antifreeze are recommended for the Bimmers? I generally use Fuchs in my Jappas, i think they are of German Origin so should have the goods? And secondly, how much coolant is likly to be in the system? Im guessing well over 5L, massive Radiator... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bekker 7 Report post Posted September 1, 2006 I havent had much experience with coolant. However when I did my all-alloy engine Honda, my mechanic recommended this one from Valvoline. http://www.valvoline.com.au/products.cfm?m...0Boil%20Coolant Seems like a very good quality coolant, but not the cheapest. Should be readily available. Check the ratio too. For my BM they recommend a 60/40% water coolant ratio. Hope this helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LemonHunter 583 Report post Posted September 1, 2006 Well, after consulting the owners handbook (forgot about that doh!) 12.5L is the cooling system capacity Handbooks rock. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
