According to my owners manual, it looks like standard, off the shelf antifreeze is required for the M62 engine?
No fancy G12 VW type stuff.
I would get good quality antifreeze but need confirmation that it can be off the shelf stuff.
Thanks,
Rick

I'd go with BMW stuff and distilled water. The price difference is nothing compared with your time, and peace of mind.
If you MUST be cheap about it, get low- or no silicate coolant. _________________
