Not sure if the unit taken off had been replaced before but didn't look too bad on the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 21y 19d Gender: Male Posted 09/10/14 11:33 AM Share Posted 09/10/14 11:33 AM (edited) I changed mine when the FG was 3yrs old and now 2yrs later gonna change again.We have two E39 5 series BMWs and both run a similar setup but don't really hear about the BMW coolers failing. Maybe cause they are made in Germany I would think.Nevertheless came across these. Are they made any better??http://www.motospecs.com.au/assets/files/downloads/Heat_Exchangers.pdf Edited 09/10/14 11:34 AM by turbotrana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
