Don't use just any coolant, there are not many that meet the BMW spec, to be safe just use the BMW product.
If the engine ran while warm with no coolant in the cylinder head, there is a possibility that the head may be warped, you need to keep a close eye out for head gasket failure (oil in the coolant or coolant in the oil is a good indicator).
