I am replacing the filter on my 2005 545i from the dealer and he said that the filter costs $120. I think that sounds high, anyone else know any different?

The 2004 BMW 545i typically uses a mix of BMW-approved coolant, which is usually a phosphate-free, ethylene glycol-based antifreeze. It's important to use the correct coolant to prevent engine overheating and corrosion. BMW recommends a 50/50 mixture of coolant and distilled water for optimal performance. Always check your owner's manual for specific guidelines and recommendations regarding coolant type and maintenance.

Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the engine is warm. With the engine running, pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, then reinsert it and check the fluid level against the markings on the dipstick. If necessary, add the appropriate transmission fluid through the dipstick tube.
