Premium Upper Radiator Coolant Hose Replacement for BMW 128i, 325i, 325Xi, 328i, 328i xDrive, 330i, 330xi - High-Quality Replacement Part Review

Perfect for my 2010 BMW 328i. Very easy to install. I wish BMW didn't use so much plastic under the hood, they were designed to fail eventually. My old one seems rotten.

The connector did not match the cooler. Either the hole is too small or it doesn't fit mechanically. I spent over 3 hours trying to figure out if this is mine. I had to buy auto parts from O'Reilly that fit easily and were cheaper.

The large lower nipple will not fit the OEM coolant hose, it will release by hand even after depressing the latch. Decided to test. Coolant leaked everywhere no matter what I tried, installed an old hose with the back (small nipple broke so I'm replacing it) and it fits much tighter and doesn't wobble so obviously the problem is the size of this part being too small.

Great price, perfect fit (Nissens cooler). It was a snug fit (yes, I swore a few times), the key to getting dressed was pushing it all the way in. I could (not many levers in the engine bay). I then let it sit (I was exhausted) and when I came back I think the o-ring eventually slipped off and I was able to push the hose all the way in. You'll know you've got it in the right place when the clip is in place.
