Description

The radiator is one of the most important components in your BMW's cooling system. As it ages, the aluminium core can become damaged by road debris, while repeated heat cycles gradually make the plastic end tanks and hose connections brittle. Over time, this can lead to coolant leaks, reduced cooling efficiency, and ultimately engine overheating.

Manufactured by Mahle, an original equipment supplier to BMW, this radiator is built to the same high standards as the factory-installed unit. With premium materials, precise fitment, and excellent heat transfer, it's an ideal replacement for maintaining the reliability of your cooling system.

Please note: This radiator is designed specifically for automatic transmission vehicles. The original BMW Genuine and some aftermarket radiators used interchangeable fittings to suit both manual and automatic models. This Mahle radiator is manufactured specifically for automatic vehicles and cannot be converted for manual applications.

If you're replacing the original radiator as preventative maintenance or repairing a coolant leak, choosing Mahle means fitting a radiator from one of BMW's trusted original equipment suppliers, ensuring years of dependable cooling performance.

As with all aluminium radiators, minor bent cooling fins can occasionally occur during manufacturing, handling, or transport. This is considered normal and has no measurable effect on cooling performance or durability. If you have any concerns after receiving your radiator, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Helpful tips

Make sure you have plenty of coolant on hand before starting the job. The cooling system for the E46 3 Series needs 6L for the four cylinder motors, and 8.4L for the six cylinder motors.
