It is still toxic, but my understanding is that BMW adds a "embittering agent" that makes it taste bad to some/most pets.

Q: Does this coolant need to be diluted or used directly "as is"? If it should be diluted what's the best ratio with water?

Check with the manufacturer to see if it's already diluted. I believe all brands that do so state "50/50" right on the container. As for the ratio, 50/50 is fine in the lower 48 states. A mixture of 70/30 (30% water) is appropriate when the temperature dips below 32 degrees F for long periods of time. This would be appropriate for Canada and/or Alaska.

Q: Can this be used for a 2009 328i?

According to FCP website this fits your car, this is pretty much the standard coolant/antifreeze for most of the BMW cars I know of. I used it on my 2001 M3 and 2005 325ciIf you are doing a complete coolant flush/replacement on your car, then you need to get one jar of this and mix it in a bucket with another 1 Gallon jar of Purified Water (sold in any convenience store,purified water only, not spring water)
