Hey guys, so my 335i seems to have lost a bit of coolant over time. No warning messages or anything, but just happened to check and the indicator is floating beneath the cap.

I'm kind of in-between services and wanted to top it up, possibly needs about a litre or so give or take. The car has been serviced by bmw only. Does anyone know any compatible coolants I can pick up from possibly repco or supercheap.

I have some green nulon concentrate in the garage and it says bmw approved on the front?

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

if you only need a small top up, just top up with deionised water

Yea thought of doing that. Might get a pressure test and flush at next service to make sure it's not leaking.

You can buy BMW coolant from the parts department for ~$20/bottle.

You can buy genuine BMW coolant on ebay for $15.50 delivered Andrew. Just make sure you mix it 50:50 with distilled water.

something weird happened to me the other day. i would get a low coolant warning, went to sca to get the most expensive one they got. open the cap and fkn coolant spilled everywhere, it was running for a good minute or two. then i filled it up. would there be a chance that my reservoir is clogged?

I called up bmw in perth and asked if i can "drop by" to get some added in as i was near by and my computer is reading Low Coolant"
She said. "excuse me? *sighs* we are not a pitstop?"
i was speechless..

I just bought a bottle at the service/parts @ bmw. forgot price but its cheap .

$17.50 for 1.5L 50/50 mix. Prices should be the same around all other dealers also. This is Worthington BMW price.

Why would they say that when in fact they do "Pit stops" where they check your oil/water/tyres and you can just call in - no appointment necessary? I get it done every 6 months (alternative months to annual service) and only have had to pay for oil once in four years - every other time its been free top-ups?

Strange...
