If you don't need much just use water for now. The coldest weather is over and you should still have a decent enough ratio in there.

Just head to the on line shopping empire that start with an Eba and look for genuine BMW coolant / antifreeze mate, quite a few on there.

Top up using 'Distilled Water' which is sold at most petrol stations if you don't have access to the BMW coolant.

The BMW coolant should be diluted 50/50 with distilled water.

Tap water contains additional salts that can build up in the coolant system.
