Hi i need a new radiator for a mini cooper 2002 with AC. My brother is in the trade so just need the part and he will fit.

But am confused about this bit


You MUST check that the top hose fitting points straight to the engine (rather than angled up slightly),

to me it looks straight but the hose itself is bent, how can I be sure which to get :puzzled:

Have you looked for part numbers on RealOEM (http://www.realoem.com/bmw/select.do)?

I can't find it, where would it be?

Try here, but check with a dealer:

RealOEM.com BMW R50 Cooper RADIATOR/FRAME (http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=RC32&mospid=48010&btnr=17_0220&hg=17&fg=05)

Original manufacturer part numbers - 1711.1475550 / 1711.7509714 / 1711.7570.821 / BTP 5509

Is a replacement for this but where can I find the number all i see is plastic had a feel around the hose and it feels straigth but want to be 100%
