Installing a New Radiator

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Radiator

This video tutorial shows how to install a new radiator on a BMW 5 Series. The video starts with a comparison between the old and new radiator. Since the old radiator has already been removed, simply insert the new radiator from the top; then secure it using the rubber mounts (you can also use the ones from the old radiator if they are in good condition). Still inserting from the top, place the radiator fan. As the final step, install the radiator hose. To do this, connect it to both openings and secure it by lowering the metal clips.
