I've never seen G48, so are you saying that BMW coolant is just relabeled Zerex G48?

Hey babyduke, since I don't know where X5world is, its kinda of hard to tell ya where to get it
 I know I've been able to find it locally at either Autozone, NAPA or sometimes even indy parts suppliers. Guys in Canada have been able to find the G05 for like $15 vs the stealerships $35. If you need tips for bleeding the system, there are some good writeups on e38.org BMW 7-series information and links. Keep us posted if anything else comes up.

I'm not seeing how you made that determination. The tech sheet linked in post # 13 says that it meets BMW approval. It does not say it is the same thing.
In any case G-48 is no longer available from Zerex (which would make little sense if it was relabeled BMW coolant, actually vice versa) and they have replaced it with G-05 which the tech sheet, interestingly, does not specifically mention BMW approval (whereas the G-48 did since it met BMW's N 600 69.0 specification and the G-05 does not specifically meet). Also, annoyingly, G-05 is yellow in color. Also strangely I believe G-05 contains nitrites, whereas G-48 was nitrite free; perhaps that's why it is not specifically BMW approved.

Who at BMW did you ask? G48 & G05 (Glysantin) are made by BASF. I don't believe Zerex makes the G-48 anymore anyway, so we're stuck with buying OE BMW stuff.

Interesting. Check out what I just came across. Strange that Zerex put it out given that it doesn't specifically meet BMW approvals and it's not even the same color, etc..
