Engine coolant....

Just had a engine coolant level low warning.

Can this just be topped up with water or do I need proper coolant/antifreeze?

What's recommended for 335i n54 specifically if it matters?

Buy coolant from dealer, but you have to mix it with 50% of water which can be distilled water or de-ionised water.

FYI

There are known issues with n54 water pumps. First sign of mine failing was low coolant warning.

Keep an eye on the water temp via hidden menu's.
