Coolant Question
Anyone knows how much an '01 325 holds?
Gonna do a flush on my car this coming weekend and need to know if one jug of the BMW coolant and like.. a gallon of distilled water is enough? |

A gallon of the concentrated BMW fluid is plenty enouhg since you have to make it a 50/50 mix your have 2 gallons. |

I didn't flush out the core, but I drained most of it out from one of the plugs at the bottom. It only used up about one gallon, and now I have a 50/50 mix left over that's also a gallon.
Just thought I'd give a heads up for anyone who was curious.
Also, changed the brake fluid from factory crap to ATE superblue. Stops on a dime now. MUCH better feel.  |

The BMW factory coolant is the best thing you can use, better than whatever is at autozone. Keep the remainder now that summer is coming in.

ahahha, thanks. I had a friend help of course.
But yes, I did get the blue stuff from BMW. Too bad I got ripped off like a mojo. $37.00 for a gallon from MoritzBMW. If only the other dealerships weren't an hour+ away. I caved and got gouged.  |
