Damn $30? I ordered the kit from FCP, it was like $400 with thermostat, water pump and a gallon of coolant. It looks like the OEM with BMW scraped off.

It's an N55 and I'll be doing the work. I have x-drive, so it's going to be a pain.
Can't go wrong with FCP's warranty. As a side note zerex makes BMW-approved pre-mixed G-48 coolant available at stores.
I use distilled water with a bottle of water wetter but I live in south Florida where's it's always hot and it's not the daily
