Could someone tell me the correct dilution for the coolant in the 2.5 M54 engine :?

Just purchased some coolant from the stealers 3 weeks ago and the parts guy informed me that its one part coolant one part water! He said I can use the same coolant and the same mix ratio on the Mrs mini so I guess the mixture ratio is pretty much generic!

Thanks Pauly I just need to top up, although the warning light hasn't come on yet the dipstick is well bellow the threads of the filler cap.
