antifreeze

Old coolant / antifreeze becomes acidic after a long time , hence attacking metal and other parts .Remember frost plugs leaking ? When you remove them you can clearly see where the metal has been eaten . I test ph level and ability to protect from freezing .
Anti freeze and water is always cheap compared to replacing cylinder head because of a frozen water pump causing timing belt failure on start up or shortly after. [X(]

Ditto - I seem to remember it was a pretty good price from Amazon, they did sell the concentrate and ready mixed as well. This is the proper BASF stuff that is recommended for our blocks just with the Comma branding.
 
I use ECP's QX brand OAT red concentrate in all our cars-sensible price ( approx £12/5litres)) mixed 50/50 with tap water.

 
Thanks guys. Needed to order some oil from Opei and they also have the G48. Actually same as my 640D used to take so I have a little from when I was constantly topping it up before BMW admitted that the EGR coolers were prone to bursting into flames.
