This Lower Radiator Hose is a stock replacement for your 1984 and 1985 model E30 318i. This is the earl 318i with the M10 8 valve 4 cylinder engine. Rubber hoses are ideal when new, as they allow some movement and flexibility during driving. The only problem is that they begin to degrade as they age, and can eventually fail, leaving you with the potential for loss of control from coolant spilling and/or an overheating situation.
Not for cars after the 1985 model year. Replace your M10 318i lower radiator hose as a preventative measure before they fail in order to save you from further headaches and expenses.
