BMW E39 M5 S62 5.0L > ES#1892547 Performance Aluminum Radiator - MMRAD-GLF-94

Wow for around the same wholesale price of the plastic Behr unit? Anyone have any experience with this? I am over 100k with the original unit and want to go at least another 100, thinking about a new unit as a precaution...

Its for the Mk3 VR6 not the e39 M5. Its a mistake on the website

OE Behr is $211. Why bother with knockoffs?

 

[Spartan993tt]

I wouldn't call a mishimoto a knockoff. Lots of e36 racers use them with very good results. The plastic end tanks can fatigue and crack which is why the aluminum one is better in one regard.

Correct:

Upgrade your cooling on your Mk3 VR6
Give your vehicle a cooler, more efficient running engine by installing a performance Mishimoto aluminum radiator. These radiators are a direct replacement to the factory unit making it an effortless install and provides up to a 30% more cooling capacity. Made from aircraft quality aluminum, these radiators have a dual row core and polished end tanks.

If it is not expensive, it is not an M5 part. True story
