Anyone know of a solid replacement for the radiator, reservoir and cap? My fan decided to collide with the edge of my radiator and my res is cracked and the cap leaks.

There are OEM replacements and genuine BMW parts.

Unfortunately currently there doesn’t seem to be many options for the “early” style cooling system. I have been looking for a replacement radiator with not a lot of luck it appears to be out of stock, hopefully hasn’t gone NLA. May have to go good used route short term, until new are available. Have purchased a aluminum one from “ winner racing” EBay, had it pressure tested locally and tested fine. Tried a fit in the car and it looked like it was going to work ok. Decided not to use it on a new engine start up though. Plan to swap in at 500 miles on new engine.Comment

most guys are updating to the new cooling system. some things are getting hard to find for either, but the early system is just about impossible to replace, with a range of parts now nla. the crossover pipe on the updated system is also now nla, but there are still used available at least.Originally posted by PEZ2 View Post
check your motor and trans mounts if your fan kissed the rad. once the mounts go your fan will dive into the rad.Comment
