I remember a while back someone stated they needed a radiator. Here is one for $128.00 with free shipping. Happy hunting: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-B...QQcmdZViewItem __________________  "Success is Never Final, Defeat is Never Permanent, it is the Courage to Continue that Matters!" - Winston Churchill

Everyone will likely need to replace their radiator before 150k miles. If you're looking for a great prevent maintenance item, this is it. __________________

Dunno if Behr is OE on the E36. They were OE on my E28, and they had problems with the plastic side tanks cracking, usually at the top. I replaced it with a Nissens, which seemed a lil' beefier. Whoever manufactures the OE Ti radiator, if it lasts less than 100k, you may want to go with another brand. That said, comparison shopping shows $128 to be a good price. http://fap99.com/epcvsoapimc.epc?coo...clientid=fap99 BMW075340 NISSENS Radiator 166.42 BMW015740 VALEO Radiator 152.87 http://bmaparts.com/epcvsoapimc.epc?...entid=bmaparts BMW075340 NISSENS Radiator 176.28 BMW015740 VALEO Radiator 161.94 Note: Niss ens is a Danish radiator company, not to be confused with Niss an.   | | | | | 07-12-2007, 02:24 AM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Southern California Posts: 420 | Pictures

Got one of those $128 (Behr) ebay radiators. Great price and fast shipping. From another vendor, I bought a new water pump, T-stat, hoses, BMW coolant, gaskets, radiator clips, water wetter and crush washers. Replaced them all on my daily ti (125K). Pretty easy job, all in all. Definitely worth the peace of mind. __________________

Yeap it is better to be safe than sorry, although I didn't know about the 125k switch out so at 204k when my radiator went out that's when I switched it.

ja... I've got the radiator, H20 pump, hoses and plastic pipes all waiting for a free weekend. Take off the intake manifold and replace the water and vacuum hoses along with the coolant items and I'll be good for a long road trip.
Used new car with 96K and limited service history does not give me a warm fuzzy... | | | | | 07-12-2007, 01:53 PM | #15 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: Va Posts: 256 |
