Going to do the waterpump and thermostat on my 320d N47 this weekend, do I need to have a specific grade of anti-freeze or will any old stuff do?

Also does anyone know the capacity of the N47 in terms of coolant fluid? I'll be doing a 50/50 mixture of anti-freeze and demin-water

BMW's use green stuff, Comma G48 i used.

Be careful when buying it too, the store i went to had two sizes, 2L and 5L. The 2L was a concentrate that you need to dilute (like most coolant) but the 5L was "ready to use"...

I didnt notice, bought the 5L, then diluted it 50:50. Only realised when i'd finished and was tidying everything away.

Brilliant thanks Aragorn, I'll get 2 lots of some 5l ready to use stuff if I can find some before the weekend!
