We've beat this to a pulp, with never a resolve on what is
really in "BMW's" goop.

I would love to see an analysis of their P/L stuff.

Fwiw, I top up, (and, that topping up has been fairly
regular, though it's slowed, in the 5+ years and 57K
miles), with Dexcool.

This BMW coolant is akin to the BMW oil, imo.
A P/L promo and a gross margin deal for the dealer
and for all the soccer dads to buy BMW brand oil and coolant.

Rant over...I've beefed about this a dozen freakin times
here. Good points you have.

You can mix the green in any system. You cannot put orange in any system unless it calls for it. The two sodium based (salt) chemicals are whats forms the gel in your system.

I'm willing to place a wager on what is in (or not in) BMW's blend. Anyone have a bottle of BMW antifreeze?
