Bmw Coolant from a Dealer.
Not just an anti-freeze but also a rust inhibitor. :thumb:

Would probably be ok, but why settle for just ok when you
can get the proven fluid so easily?

As gooner said use genuine bmw antifreeze mixed 50/50 for proper protection.its about £9 + vat for a 1.5 litre bottle so two bottles should be enough for most e30s.
Dont use the red stuff!!

I use just triple qx from euros. Seems to be the cheapest.
