This Upper Radiator Hose is a stock replacement for your E30. 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.
Fits 1988+ E30 325i, 325is, 325iX, and 1988 “Super E” 325e (upper radiator hose is on the driver's side of radiator).
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.
Replace your radiator hoses as a preventative measure before they fail in order to save you from further headaches and expenses.
This part is manufactured by an aftermarket supplier of European auto parts, including many engine and cooling components. While not carrying OEM status, this part follows the design of the original very closely and uses similar materials. An aftermarket part may even have the same TUV approval as its OEM counterpart. This aftermarket brand has a two year warranty - the same as Genuine BMW and OEM brands.
