mini brand... other wise it really dosnet matter what you get, as long as it is happy with aluminum, and if you use something like prestone just flush the whole system with only prestone or whatever you want so its just one brand. but most people have no problems mixing stuff.

there was a huge thread about it somewhere. cant find it.

Imo just get the mini/bmw stuff....
You know 100% it works and meets all specs...and in my experience, it is usually the same $$ or slightly less than aftermarket fluids that may not meet the specs...
