Replaced with oem (denso) and carried on. No factor.
I just replaced my radiator with a Denso from Napa a few months ago. If I can do it, anyone can.
Just swapped my OEM at 313k for a Denso, so far so good. Fit very snug, almost thought it wouldn’t fit, so that’s good for surface area at least!
The first radiator at the dealer was a genuine BMW part# 17111436060. Mine has lasted well.
I got a Denso for my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4.7L V8 and it has been fantastic, great quality and in good shape upon delivery. Vehicle ran 5-7°F cooler than before the radiator leak that initiated the replacement
I recently replaced the radiator on my 2002 Toyota 4Runner and used a Denso replacement part. It looks identical to the original.
I'd stick with a new Denso if you want to replace yours.
It happened to me once at a night time. I just pulled over, stopped the engine and started again after several minutes and everything was OK.
Edit: After reading other's comments, I realized that mine also related to coolant system. Some time after this incident I replaced radiator because of a coolant leak. May be this warning is related to that.
bmw makes a sad excuse of a cooling system with brittle plastic, sad plastic joins and a pathetic plastic and metal radiator, like that's gonna last
During Covid a lot of brand new genuine BMW parts had some issues so I had to change my radiator twice, was covered by BMW dealer after loads of back and forth. (There’s two part numbers for B48 engine main radiators and the dealer said the part number used was not meant for the car but the other radiator clearly wouldn’t fit)
