Engine coolant

Does BMW suggest a specific engine coolant or is it cool to use any off the shelf type?
I've had the car 2 years now and it only gets driven in the sun.
I just checked my engine and aftercooler levels and I appear to be down slightly on the engine coolant.
Don't want to mix if it's not copacetic to do so.

Thanks

Hey Stan.
Check out this thread I started couple weeks ago.

https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1995060

If it’s only down a little and you want to top up, it’s ok to use distilled water with no issues. Just try not to over dilute the mixture of 50/50 (coolant/distilled water)

Worst case, I’d go to bmw dealer to get some Oem coolant.
Cheers

I'll top it up this time but get some from the Stealership for future use.

Thanks for the info
