The proper BMW stuff from your dealer.....mixing of different coolants is generally not a good idea.
When I did my 30,000km service I flushed out the original coolant and changed to my own prefered brand...no issues thus far at 37k km.
Smithy.
When I die, I want to go peacefully in my sleep like my Grandfather....not screaming like the passengers in his car..!

Thanks Smithy, sounds like good advice. I'll get to the dealers assuming they are open in our lockdown world.

You can get a big bottle of the stuff from the dealer and then mix it 50/50 with water as per instructions. Often have to top up a new bike, probably due to air in the cooling system. Not too easy to get the coolant in without removing the side panel. I used a fairly liquid bottle and some plastic tube to avoid removing the panel.
