2012 R60 Coolant issues

Greetings all. My family and I were recently stationed in Germany. We needed a car and picked up 2012 Mini Countryman S ALL4 with about 71k. The day I brought it home, a 4 hour trip, it had a sweet smell and I thought I saw steam coming out of the bonnent at points of traffic along the. way
Long story short I checked the coolant tank and it was pretty shy of min. I drove to base and back today looking for coolant but they didn't have the right kind. The next picture shows the tank almost bone dry.

​​​​​​I checked the dipstick and it appears relatively normal but I'm new to Mini's so any help us appreciated.

Matt
