I got a Nissens radiator in mine after it had to be replaced last year, and it’s been serving me very very well
Pros: serving very well
The Nissens are inexpensive and mine has been trouble free for ten years.
Pros: trouble free, inexpensive
I put a Nissens in my 1992 325i cabrio and it fit perfectly. It’s been in there for seven years now and all is great. My car was an automatic when I bought the radiator. I later had the car swapped to manual and plugged off the transmission cooler ports on the radiator.
Pros: perfect fit, long-lasting, great performance

i just got a new radiator on my 2012 subi outback in buttfuck TX. we agreed on 100/ hr for labor ahead of time, i paid 280 total. i know he spent more than an hour on it, because he squeezed me in the night before to diagnosis and order parts, drove to both car shops in town to get me the best price and check their stock irl. he told me it likely would have been north of 400 had i gotten it down in town, so not sure if u could get a better price or if he was just the best mechanic ever
Pros: good price, great mechanic

Koyorad Aluminum radiator (upgrade): $380 If you got those two parts, it’d save a bulk of the money.
Pros: saves money
Personally, I have an NRF cooler in my car, as that is the best that was available on such short notice at the time. Haven't had any problems with it since.
Pros: no problems

The MVP radiator and the Denso aftermarket are identical, both say Denso. The main difference between the OEM and the MVP/Denso is the OEM is 2 Core with a radiator thickness of 1.075 inches thick. The Denso is 1 Core with a radiator thickness of 0.663 inches thick. I measured the thickness using a digital caliper. Another difference is the transmission connection lines, the MVP/Denso looks like a cheaper aluminum, and the OEM is a heftier non aluminum metal. As a side note, after searching the internet and YouTube, some people have leaks at the radiator line after a couple of years with the Denso aftermarket ones. Next time I will be sticking with the OEM model, I just don’t have time to return the Denso and order another OEM one.
Cons: 1 core, thinner

I've replaced a radiator on a BMW 2018 3 Series with as little as 22k miles. This particular vehicle was leaking from the side tank of the rad, where the plastic is crimped to the aluminum. Nothing abnormal could be seen, just the crimp failed.
Cons: leaking from side tank

Mileage: 35405 km
