Been told to only use BMW "blue" coolant and distilled water in BMWs as there is concern over phospates and damage to aluminum and headgaskets. Is this really true or are there alternatives?

AFAIK, Prestone also makes one of those coolant varieties that contains no phosphates, but I don't remember the exact product name. It should say it right on the bottle though.

In the USA, Ashland (Valvoline/Zerex) is the OEM for BMW dealer fluids, except for the special 10W-60 for M3s and M5s, supplied by BP Germany(Castrol RS).
