That's a grand waste of money... buy the OE version of each item that's available, save yourself a lotta dough for your shop labor chargesOriginally posted by jpy1980 View Post

I think people are still having trouble with certain radiators, and some hoses need to be genuine BMW. Some of that might be hearsay.Originally posted by fattycharged View Post

Isn't using all OEM stuff good though? Should last like 80-100k? I read some stuff on this forum saying things like the OE radiator was the best option. Thoughts? What would you replace? I was planning on doing the whole thing myself. looks like a fun job.Originally posted by fattycharged View Post

Click on each individual item, some of them are available as OE, just not BMW brandedOriginally posted by jpy1980 View Post

Was the coolant temp sensor O-ring included in it?

I picked these up via eBay - a great kit that's well organized and easy to follow. Just took the time to do a bunch of the o-rings on new parts, looking forward to getting the car back together2003 E46 M3 - Alpine on Imola Build Thread
