Which hoses?

[Mook613]

Thinking of replacing the coolant hoses on my car. Engine is all stock and was thinking of getting some silicone hoses.
Are the China made ebay hoses okay, or do I need to worry about fitment and spend the money on the ones from Bav or IE?

Just buy Conti or equivalent replacement hoses from any number of online suppliers. No need to get fancy with hoses.

i thought about pretty looking silicone hoses but it doesnt seem to be worth it, just good OEM quality rubber and but some tyre shine on them lol

nice hose clamps spruce up the engine bay pretty well against the stock black hoses.

what do you classify as nice? i usually use BMW clamps as they dont have holes in them so they dont cut into the rubber as much

Where do you get these so called 'nice hose clamps'?

Is this not a good deal, http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Silicone-Radi...ZT21h7&vxp=mtr ?

Look for Norma Torro hose clamps on ebay and Amazon ..I got several 10-packs of common sizes. Perfect replacement for OEM BMW clamps.
