hey evryone! I just bought a 93 525i and of course in fine newbbie style I have questions [scratch] I have figured out that I need to use BMW coolant for my car and was wondering were (other than the local dealer) I can find it. I found it online at bavarianautosport.com, and that led me to another question "Lifetime coolant, waterless" or the coolant I need to mix? one last question "for now" what oil type should I use? conventional or synthetic? oh who ha! all thees questions and just bought the absoutley, wonderful, fun too drive, rolling, experience!

I found this site by accident and have found it to be a blessing. I hope to learn as much as possible about these cars and this seems to be the jackpot of info.

thanks to everyone for any input

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Synthetic oils, and BMW coolant only! Lifetime is a myth, coolant should be changed at least every three years. If you go to Mobil 1's web site you can enter your car information and climate and they will tell you what they figure the best viscosity is for you. Best of luck and welcome to the board!
