Radiators?

[Mitchen]

In prep for my engine bay overhaul, I've been on the lookout for a new radiator. Where does everyone get theirs from? Seen so many new Behrs on ebay for ridiculously cheap prices like £90-£100, but they all seem to be for 316's and 318's

Really don't want to go to the dealer and pay £500, but wouldnt go anywhere near a £35 ECP's one. Are Nissens a budget brand? All my cooling items are OEM so don't wanna spoil it with shit.

Nissens are pretty good, Behr are factory quality and if you can get one for under £150 id go with that

[Mitchen]

If I had a 316 or a 318 I'd be laughing because every variant of Behr radiator for that car is going as cheap as chips on ebay.... BUT I dont, I've a 320i auto which seems to be the hardest to come across. Outside the dealers, I've got very limited options.

As Dan said Nissens are good

Nothing wrong with a Nissens. Top brand.

I got mine from BMW Dealer 3 years ago

[Mitchen]

Think I might go for a Nissens then. Wanted one where I could buy and then tick it off the list for the next 100k.

Pony I would do that as well but £486 for a radiator? That's 30% of how much I paid for the whole car!

[pony]

I can't remember how much I paid but think was under £200
I also got oil cooler and oil tubes, fan shroud and fan all from BMW

[Mitchen]

You were lucky! Maybe there's been a price hike! Or maybe it's because mine's an auto.

I usually try and get all my stuff from BM, but even I've got to draw the line somewhere

The M3 Sport Evolution steering wheel when I bought was under £300.
Currently is £600

[Mitchen]

Yeah you would have to have be single, no social life and have money to burn to buy that.

[pony]

Not necessarily

[Mitchen]

Ok then, just rich lol

Another vote for Nissens.

[Mitchen]

Nissens it is!
