Winterizing your BMW

  • Check Antifreeze Mixture

    Posted January 14, 2010 By in Winterizing your BMW With | No Comments
    The ideal mixture of antifreeze (coolant) and water inside your vehicle’s radiator is 50:50

    If the mixture deviates from this norm, then hot and cold-weather performance can be compromised.

    If you were to put pure water in your vehicle’s radiator, it would freeze at 0 degrees Celsius. If you combine the water with an equal amount of antifreeze, the new mixture won’t freeze until -36 degrees Celsius!

    Have the composition of your radiator’s mixture tested. If the mixture is off, have the coolant replaced with the correct ratio of water to antifreeze.
