Will this radiator bolt directly into my BMW without modifications?

This unit is designed for multi-model compatibility within the generation, but test-fit verification is recommended before final installation. Some trim variations may require bracket or hose adapter confirmation.

What condition is this radiator in—is it new or refurbished?

This is an OEM replacement unit. Inspect hoses, inlet/outlet connections, and the core for any damage before installation. If the radiator has been sitting in inventory, flush your system before filling.

Do I need to replace hoses or the thermostat when I install this?

The radiator alone does not include hoses or thermostat. Inspect your existing hoses for cracks or soft spots—if they're original to the car, they're due for replacement. Thermostat replacement is a separate job based on your vehicle's service interval.
