Many autoparts stores sell them over the net. I have seen them for 97 528i for about $155. I am not sure what year/model is your car and what is a decent price. Is $155 decent? I think your biggest problem is the labor not the part!!
good luck

The labor - Im doing that myself.. I already have the old heater core out.. I would like to get one for under 150, but I dont see that happenning.. They're kinda pricey.. I still have to check out the local foreign repair shop..

Heater core is the same for all e34s... as well as e32s. Check if you don't believe me.
allright.. i called up bmaautoparts and got the heater core for $120 bucks.. Everywhere else I looked it was at least $160-170.. So thanks guys! Appreciate it.. It should be here by Thursday!
