I need to purchase a new radiator for my 97 528i, I was searching around and I found one for about $150. Could I find any universal ones any where or what? ANy cheaper?
You could probably use one from a Honda Civic... but you would have to fabricate the mounts, piping etc... not worth it.
That's pretty cheap for a rad.
btw. make sure it fits your car... if your car is manual, one from a automatic can work (u'll just have a spare hose coming off of it), but one from a manual will NOT work on automatics... it will burn your tranny up as it doesnt have the proper hook ups.
