    Question on engine coolant maintenance schedule: 125k miles

    The Heating System Circuit, Black Tank, takes BMW Part#: 83512355296 The Coolant Drive Circuit, White Tank, takes BMW Part#: 82141467704 Mix both 50/50 with distilled water. I get my BMW parts at FCP Euro, due to their lifetime warranty (even on wear out items).
