Hi everyone, as off today I was driving to the mall to do some Chirstmas shopping, well when I turned on the ignition, the Coolant light went on yellow and says I'm low... I just got home so I cant check my coolant till it cools down. But heres the question, what kind of coolant I can buy so I can just top it off? Do I have to go to the dealaer tomorrow to buy a gallon? Im planning a road trip to the Bay Area(San Jose and San Francisco 60-100 miles away from where I live) to do more shopping with my friends on Tuesday so I need to know which Coolant I can use... so I dont screw up my engine at all... Thanks much everyone!!

If its just a little low then you can top it off with distilled water. Otherwise you can use any 50/50 coolant if you don't want to spend the $20 from a BMW dealer.
