2004 E46 320i manual with 116k miles. Bought it just over a year ago for \u00a32000 probably spent around \u00a31000 on it (radiator, air con, rocker cover gasket, oil sensor, boot switch, coil pack), not too bad for a 20 year old car I don\u2019t think. Only thing that doesn\u2019t work on it is the cruise control, it used to but recently stopped.
I had a leak/split in the top of the radiator and bought a factory DENSO replacement part from Rock Auto with free shipping for my 2001 Camry that fit like a glove for $100.
If that radiator is shot replace it with a Denso.
E36 on factory, untouched cooling system replaced earlier this year. Date stamps on the radiator, hoses, thermostat housing all indicated they were never replaced.
He Bought a denso. Took all of 30 mins to install.
I swapped my original radiator at 230k with a denso replacement. Denso/oem parts have always been g2g for me.
Denso radiator. Oem manufacturer. Not to expensive. Pretty easy to replace. I did all of mine and it was a breeze. If I can, you can.
I just installed this Denso 7 years ago, won't pay for that again.
You need to replace that. Bmws run hot. Only fix
The towing package radiator is 1" thick if I recall, I have used rockauto.com to find the radiator. The last one I bought was a Denso, I haven't had great luck with non-OEM radiators not leaking. There was one I bought that only lasted w years.
