I am changing the radiator and AT cooler. Based on the realoem, I ordered this radiator part # 17111737760 (RealOEM.com * BMW E34 525i Radiator (http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=HD63&mospid=47404&btnr=17_0099&hg=17&fg=05)) as realoem.com stated this is the one from 9/1992 (I have 95 525). This is the part I ordered: https://www.autohausaz.com/search/imageexpand.aspx?imageurl=../secure/PartImages/17111469177.jpg
I was about to take the old radiator out and noticed the radiator on the car looks like this: https://www.autohausaz.com/search/imageexpand.aspx?imageurl=../secure/PartImages/17111719309.jpg Under the upper coolant hose, there are two metalic connection nuts that are NOT connected to anything. The transmission cooler is behind the radiator, separately, connected with two hoses that go under the radiator.
Given that the radiator was replaced in 2000, either they put the older version radiator and the mechanic thought it was okay. Or I am replacing with the wrong part.
I really really appreciate if you help me identify the right radiator for this 95 525.
Thanks for your help in advance and happy holidays.
