I changed out my cracked radiator on my 03 325xi I i was
wondering what kind of antifreeze to go with to fill it back
up. Should I go with the factory bmw coolant or is non
factory fine and if so what brand?

Factory coolant, in my opinion, just cost more at the dealer. Read the manual to see the type of coolant recommended and buy that one at any auto parts store. Follow the instructions as to the amount to mix with water or you can buy the one that comes already mixed.
