Coolant Color

[Drei3000]

I replaced my OEM top mount intercooler with CSF. This is the coolant coming out of the OEM unit is this normal? I was expecting BMW blue. Thank you for any input[IMG][/IMG]

I read that BMW did have a magenta coolant for our cars but I've never actually seen it used, only the blue-green. Is your radiator coolant the same color?

It's not an overly complicated DIY job to get to the lower coolant fitting (behind a fender shield a couple layers) and drain that out. I'd drain it and fill with 40% blue mix, plus 4oz of Red Line WaterWetter.

Thanks man, I have not disconnect the radiator fitting yet. But I'll do what you advise me and drain the whole system and refill with BMW blue coolant.
