You have no personal experience w/ it, yet in the same breathe you're telling us it's all just the same stuff? It's not special in the fact that it's antifreeze and does the same thing other antifreezes do, it's special in the it doesn't contain certain things in it that BMW's specifically don't want in their coolant. Phosphate free is what is the big ticket item w/ BMW coolant.
