Antifreeze question??

Is Pentozin NF the recommended antifreeze for the 2002-2006 MCS or BMW brand? Thanks...

One of the sponsors on here, can’t remember if it’s Way or ECS, said they use the green stuff in their shop.

We use the blue MINI coolant. I have some at home and i mix it 50/50 with distilled water. The aftermarkets have to be Blue like NF(which is the same as the MINI stuff) or meet the standards.
