Can I use this BMW antifreeze in my 2016 GS350?
I have a bottle of this BMW antifreeze and was wondering if I can mix it with the factory coolant in my 2016 GS350?

I personally wouldn't risk mixing or using it . Coming from experience of owning a Tacoma and previous owner mixing green and red and I had to change the radiator from corrosion.
Use Toyota/Lexus or fluid made for ASIAN Vehicles. Sell/give that to somebody with a beemer.

Red was pre 2005 and probably compatible but different ingredients.

I'm wondering why the OP needs to be adding antifreeze anyway...

You can't be cheap when it comes to a 60k car. At $20.00 a gallon or whatever it is just buy the right stuff and be done with it. I often wonder if anyone has drilled a hole in their IPhone 8 for headphones?! :}

What are you mixing cooling for to begin with? Do you have a leak? You might want to fix that before skinflinting over a bottle of coolant.... lol
