how are you everyone? i just bought a BMW 5 series, and i need to change the radiator, i am thinking to use the toyota long life red coolant. The reason i prefer to use toyota red coolant is because i know they are the best for all time, not because i can't afford to pay the BMW's coolant, and i been asking the people from BMW club about using the toyota's coolant in BMW, some people said 'why not?' and some said i should go for the BMW's coolant because they are the best. So i just wonder is anyone here try toyota's coolant use in European's car before?

Can't see any harm in it - its a corrosion inhibiter, assists in lubricating the water pump, and is a good quality anti freeze/anti boil, which is all you need really.

Just dont tell the engine that its Toyota, it may get all flustered and faint at the humiliation of using a lesser branded fluid.

Coolant is coolant, BUT dont mix red and green coolants, because that's bad Mkay!!!!

Coolant is not coolant. There are different types made for different composition engines.
