2020 F40 Coolant: G48 or HT-12?
Hi everyone!

Small dilemma:
I can't figure out which coolant my 2020 F40 118i has:
Is it the "blue" G48 or the new "green" HT-12??

ISTA in the documentation says that the F40 is using the HT-12 from "start of production" while the dealership told me G48.
I have to top up to the min level and I would like to avoid mixing the two coolants to avoid gelification.

I attach a photo showing the current coolant in the car.

Thanks to anyone who can help me with this question!

Yes so you say that LC-18/HT-12 is the one I should buy?
I don't understand why the dealer keeps telling me that the correct one is the blue color LC-87/G48..

The color in the photo is definitely not blue, but it also doesn't look like the vivid green you see online for the LC-18/HT-12
