Any input on clear almost smell free coolant?
1) maybe due to air buble during initial fiil up, top it of using distilled water.

2) BMW coolant is blue in color (no other color I am aware of, Audi is red), both phospate free. A gallon is >= $20 so hope the shop uses that, but as as long it's phospate free 50/50 with distilled water, I am not going to loose sleep over it.
