DESCRIPTION

This upper radiator hose connects the engine outlet to the top of the radiator and is a key part of the cooling system on the X5 E53 3.0i. It carries hot coolant away from the engine and helps regulate operating temperature by directing it into the radiator for cooling.

Manufactured by Febi Bilstein, this hose is a high-quality alternative to the BMW Genuine part—offering the same fitment, build quality, and long-term durability at a more accessible price. Febi is a trusted OE supplier for many of BMW’s original rubber and plastic components.

Signs of a failing upper hose include swelling, cracking, coolant leaks near the connection points, or overheating issues. Replacing it before failure is critical to maintaining safe engine temperatures and avoiding larger cooling system damage.
