Coolant & Oil Recommendation
I understand the coolant used must be specific for aluminium engines (M54B25) and hence must be nitrite and phosphate free. I have seen Mannol 4211 G11 (Blue) advertised at a very realistic price, has anyone any experience of this product. Their 30W5 (ACEA A3) Fully Synth. Oil also looks very price competitive, again anyone any experience ??

I've been using Comma G48 Xstream in my Z4 for the 6 years I've owned it. BMW approved.

Use G48 as well
Although I buy concentrate, and if you're doing the same use de-ionised water.
