Perfect Fit 2006 330i with manual transmission

Includes drain plugs to adapt to manual or automatic transmission. Fits perfectly in my 2006 330i. You need to remove the little plastic legs from the old core and install on the new one. Total installation time was 30 minutes.

Pros
  • Replacement parts
Cons
  • Damaged

Fits like a glove: Engine Cooling and Air Conditioning

I installed it on a 2007 BMW 328i with no problems. It's not as good quality as an OEM replacement, but it's also a few hundred dollars cheaper. Also, what the other reviewer says about drain plugs is completely wrong. They are reusable. Google how to remove a BMW radiator drain plug, very easy.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Costs extra $26

The fact is there is no drain plug in the kit. You can't reuse a factory fork assembly - it's a one-off design and the tabs will break off. You will need to find a BMW dealer for the required $13 drain control assembly. If you are not at the dealer this can be a problem. This fact must be stated in the product description. I lost my car for over a week due to no drain. Another note: This cooler weighs about 1/2 the weight of the original BMW unit.

Pros
  • Engine Cooling and Air Conditioning
