Bad Radiator 1989 535i

My radiator is clogged. Can anyone direct me to a good place to get a new one? And what should I expect to pay? Thanks in advance.

You have two options depending on what type of transmission
radiator $249.00 for auto transmission
radiator $210.00 if its a manual transmission

Interesting, My car used to be auto but it is now manual. My guess is I have to go with the auto radiator since that's what's coming out of the car. Do you have any idea what the differance is?

I also found www.autohausaz.com to be a good price after a lot of searching. I bought mine there. But I got a Nissens. No probs with it.

If not, this page at least has some good info on what OEM means and the replacement mfgs.

I think auto rads have a separate cooling line on the bottom for the tranny fluid.

Well the only difference I could think of is as the other poster said, the auto one will have a extra cooler that you are not using now due to the manual trans. the radiators I priced you are made by BEHR, BEHR is who made them for BMW for your car

Thanks I'll go with the manual version.
