    Default RAdiator question - Behr or NIssens??

    Does the Behr have probs? Is Nissens as good for less $$. I'm possibly ordering one in the next hour, so any input would be appreciated.

    Thanks again,

    DAve

    Bill R would tell you that it would make no difference. People complains of Nissen but I got Nissen for 3 years with no problem. Bill R would recommends buying from radiators.com but at $284 for lifetime is pricy as compared to BMA $155 Nissen and $199 for Behr.

    I just put a nissen in my 535i. No issues or complaints as of yet.

    Thanks both of you, it'll be the Nissen. The extra $45 will fit nicely in my pocket.

    I went with Nissens for my M60, but the upper hose connection started leaking after a year and a half. I now have Behr. We'll see how that holds up.
