Once you clear it, flush it well and use the BMW coolant. They have so many dissimilar metals in use it is really critical. I also suggest the Stewart water pump, especially if the one you put in is a plastic impeller.

Pretty sure the pump I put in is a Graf with a metal impeller, those have been fine in my experience. Stewart pump would be nice for the extra flow on the track though, but I’m a while away from tracking this car, there’s so much that needs fixing first. I will be flushing the system out with proper BMW blue coolant, as that’s what I run in all my BMW’s.
