Exhausts and Engine » BMW OEM Coolant

Want to top off my system. Need to confirm the part number for the OEM stuff and if anyone knows where to get it.

Don’t suggest contacting BMW. I already have and still haven’t gotten a reply.

My UK invoice had B.83.51.2.355.290 and for 1500cc which will also work as a search on ebay

It is the same for bmw bikes and cars/mini etc - green stain stuff here in England

Another ebay seller has it as Genuine BMW Antifreeze - 83.19.5.A42.DF3

Also search here on forum for "Coolant Source " for more information.

Thanks. I forgot I started an earlier topic.

The part number on the liter bottle I purchased at a BMW dealer is 82 14 2 209 769
$10.17

Thanks everyone. 83 51 2 445 463

Someone showed me it was in Section 2 of the parts diagrams…which was unlabeled.

In my recent debacle with a BMW dealership I had the coolant replaced in my 1250RS - the invoice, 2 weeks ago, included the following line:
B83.51.2.355.290 ANTI-FR 1.5L

If you google that number, the product appears to have been around for years, so maybe it's something different? Who knows...

EDIT: I see that's the same stuff that Dave H was supplied with, upthread...

True, but there must be a superseding part number for what replaces it. I may have to call BMW as they aren’t answering my emails.

The last time I had my RS serviced by the San Francisco BMW dealership, I was told by the service manager that BMW no longer recommends periodic coolant changes. I thought that was kind of odd, having been replacing all of my motorcycles coolant every two years for many years. However, when I checked out the latest coolant products, such as Prestone, at the local auto accessory shop, I saw that the new types of coolant are supposed to last for 150,000 miles. So maybe the shop was correct?

I haven't had a coolant flush/replacement done in decades on any watercooled vehicle

my last two Honda's had a recommended interval of 3 years regardless of mileage (8k miles recommended inspection) but since the bike(s) never had issues or ran 'hot' never thought about it.

4th year of ownership at 21k miles I had the fork service done and since the fairing was off they did the coolant too, top of the shelf stuff is ~$10 so really a non-factor since it was forks, chain, sprockets, oil etc. to include it as well since I was selling it to a friend and I wanted to pass it on fully prepped for another 20k

My 8 year old bike has only had a few minor top ups.

I simply keep a bottle of Prestone to top up all my vehicles when needed.

Haven't done a full change since I was a boy with my old man.
