This part is listed by BMW as BMW part number 11537848501 (11 53 7 848 501) and is described as an upper radiator hose for F80 M3 and F82/F83 M4. It also doubles as the hose for the lower auxiliary radiator on the left side of the front spoiler. Hot coolant exits the thermostat by the oil filter housing and enters the main engine radiator through this hose.
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.
This is a Genuine BMW F8X upper radiator hose with a two year warranty. Buying a Genuine part will usually be more expensive than an OEM or aftermarket brand but you are assured that it meets BMW's designs for fitment, performance, and longevity. It will also be the very latest design, incorporating any updates or revisions that an aftermarket brand typically will ignore.
