We have a 2005 s in Africa and we need to buy coolant---please give us some suggestions on what to use for coolant! We just overheated! Thanks!

 

BMW blue color coolant or Prestone but only GREEN color.

 

Why did it overheat ?

Cracked coolant reservoir tank ?

 

I will pose the question to my partner who is there with the car!

 

What type of coolant should be put into the radiator?

 

Oem.

 

Refer to post #2 above. It doesn't have a fill cap on radiator as with traditional car. It has a pressurized overflow tank with a cap.

There are two bleeder areas to remove air in the system if it got low. You will need to remove that air in the system possibly.

One up front and a second near the bypass valve/throttle body area.
