View Full Version : HELP Radiator upper Nipple! Cracked! Towed Home! HELP DJ OutOfSight 11-26-2005, 10:58 PM ...... ahspao 11-28-2005, 03:38 AM You can get it from just about anywhere, pelicanparts.com has em bimmerparts bimmerzone or any of the other bimmer part sites. I found $150 to be about the average I think...and being "BMW" in this case doesn't mean its better, the BMW radiator is crap, aftermarket is actually better because that piece thats leaking now, is alot thicker on the aftermarket ones. If you plan on doing this yourself, let me know and i'll send you a few tips...and dont buy a fan removal tool, you can rent one for free at autozone. asherenian@yahoo.com killcrap 11-28-2005, 10:24 AM if the nipple you are talking about is the one that connected the resivoir to the top of the radiator, i believe you can purchase that seperately. ///MZG 11-28-2005, 01:25 PM I think he is talking about the neck on the upper driver side where the large hose connects. I just broke mine this weekend as well and you need to replace the entire radiator. 150-200 is about what I would expect for price. Plus I would replace your water pump, t-stat, t-stat housing and hoses if they are old. Aftermarket is nice, but very expensive.
