yes the radiator is good to get out the way first, and won't be an issue as you have the cooling system apart anyway. Do replace the tensioner if your not sure when it was last done (or if it was a while ago), easy while its all in bits. Use a genuine belt they are about £12 from the dealer. For the price and avalibility of the tensioner ask Paul in the Genuine BMW parts department on here.
Hope all goes well.
