Review on Spectra Premium CU2285 Complete Radiator by Bobby Washburn

Revainrating 1 out of 5

IT'S A TOY! NOT OEM! NECK TOO SMALL FOR O-RINGS

DO NOT BUY THIS NON-OEM PRODUCT!. I bought this radiator from my local parts store to install because I didn't want to wait for shipping and get the car back on the road. The necks are too small for the BMW's o-ring system and after you install and start the car, water COMES out of both necks. When I called the company they asked me if I had a caliper to measure with, like I didn't know what it was. Not only do I have such an item, but I inherited the profession from a friend. Your neck is 1.48, the original Behr radio neck is 1.51. They didn't believe me and wanted a photo with the caliper on. INDEED? Good. Thought they would do something for me for my tech time, set up time, part time pickup and reimbursement and swear time. I haven't heard from Spectra at all, they have a problem with this cooler and they know about it. DO NOT BUY THIS RADIATOR. Get BEHR from Amazon. At your door in two days.
