The average price of a BMW E46 3-Series coolant is between $2.19 and $578.09.
BMW E46 3-Series coolant is a specially designed fluid that is used to regulate the temperature of the engine and prevent it from overheating. It is important because the engine generates a large amount of heat as it operates, and without the coolant, this heat can cause damage to the engine components. The coolant helps to dissipate the heat and maintain the optimal operating temperature of the engine, which in turn helps to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Additionally, the coolant also helps to prevent corrosion and rust within the engine block and radiator, ensuring that the engine operates smoothly and efficiently for a long time.
Type of Coolant for BMW E46 3-Series
The BMW E46 3-Series typically uses a phosphate-free, ethylene glycol-based coolant with a 50/50 mix of coolant and distilled water. The specific coolant recommended for the vehicle may vary based on the model year and engine type, so it is important to consult the owner's manual or a BMW dealer for the correct specification. Some common coolants used for the E46 include BMW Coolant Antifreeze (blue) and Zerex G-05 coolant.

How to Add Coolant to Your BMW E46 3-Series
- Make sure the car is cool before adding coolant.
- Locate the coolant reservoir tank in the front of the engine compartment. It is a clear or opaque plastic container with two marks on the side indicating the maximum and minimum levels of coolant.
- Remove the cap from the coolant reservoir tank by turning it counterclockwise. Be careful not to remove the cap while the engine is hot, as the pressure inside the cooling system can cause hot coolant to spray out.
- Check the coolant level in the reservoir by looking at the marks on the side of the tank. If the level is below the minimum mark, you will need to add more coolant.
- Slowly pour the coolant into the reservoir until it reaches the maximum mark. Be sure to use the correct type of coolant recommended for your BMW E46, which is typically a 50/50 mix of coolant and distilled water.
- Replace the coolant reservoir cap by turning it clockwise until it clicks.
- Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes to circulate the coolant.
- Recheck the coolant level in the reservoir tank after a few days of driving to ensure it remains at the proper level.
