This Lower Radiator Hose is a stock replacement for your 1988+ E30 325i, 325is, 325iX, and 1988 “Super E” 325e.
This part is also used to convert the 1987 cooling system to the late 1988 E30 cooling system, which also requires the radiator, expansion tank, and additional hoses.
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.
Replace your radiator hoses as a preventative measure before they fail in order to save you from further headaches and expenses.
