Recommendations - new radiator 1990 325i M20

[Nightshift]

So just after going over 100k on the clock the radiator (original) sprung a pretty admirable leak. Planning to drop a replacement in over the holidays.

Before I pay through the nose for an OEM spec through Cotswold or similar, does anyone 1) have a make they would recommend and 2) a supplier for it?

Car is a 1990 325i - M20 all original specs.

Any advice much appreciated!

I believe BEHR is the OEM manufacturer, Should only cost a little more than £100 for a new one online.

I've just had a quick search using P/N 17111712823 and not been able to find any BEHR units. This is for a non air conditioned car.

Might have to wait and see if someone else can help....

Thanks Supafly. Will see if I can find a UK supplier...

Although Behr make all variants for BMW, trying to find a Behr radiator minus the BMW badge only leaves you with a few select types. I searched high and low for months for one for my non air con, auto M20.. and just drew blanks.

In the end I settled for Nissens, who are a very good brand!

Thanks for the advice Mitchen.

Found Hella radiators (manufactured by BEHR - same company essentially) at buycarparts.co.uk, in case anyone else is looking.
