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?

Again, you simply do not know of what you speak! As I type I'm looking at a bottle of neat Havoline Extended Life Anti-Freeze/Coolant. The only formulation references on the bottle are deliberately vague because, unlike food, all formulations are propritary (seceret) for competitive reasons. My bottle referencess "carboxylate inhibitors" (organic chemicals), the "ethylene glycol" base used in ALL coolants and "CPS#227994" (propritary formulation); no other additives are referenced. The disolved solids you referenced above are not in Havoline Extended Life Anti-Freeze/Coolant/DEX-COOL; General Motors simply would not allow it!
