For your 2012 BMW 328I, it is recommended to use ZerexBlue 50/50 Coolant/Antifreeze. This coolant can be used in place of any that utilizes inorganic acid technology (IAT), but it should not be mixed with other types like OAT or HOATs. If different colors of coolant are mixed, it can lead to corrosion in your radiator and other components of the heat dispersal system. This corrosion can cause your engine to overheat and potentially become damaged. Look out for signs that it's time to change the coolant, such as your heater not working, a strong burning smell coming from under the hood, or coolant leaking onto the ground. If you notice a leak, a flush will help pinpoint where it is coming from.
