Antifreeze

I just replaced the antifreeze in my '91 <E30> 318is last weekend.  
I had a bugger of a time finding antifreeze that was phosphate free, but 
I came across two (in the same place, after three different auto parts 
places).  I found the Sierra brand as well as a Prestone antifreeze 
called "Longlife 460" (for 4 years, 60k miles).  I got the Prestone 
stuff, since thier normal antifreeze is considered "reasonably" good in 
the FAQ.  It comes in a silver jug and cost me less than $10 a gallon at 
Pep Boys.  It has a cute little sticker on it that says "Phosphate free" 
so I can only assume that it is.  I'm not planning on testing the 
"Long-life" claims of the antifreeze even though my head gasket has 
already been replaced with the "better" design.  

     I just thought I'd pass on the information.
