Saw someone mentioned buying a Nissens. Don’t buy that shit it’s junk. I put one in my car because for some reason WorldPac was out of them at our local distribution center, the fan shroud doesn’t line up on it because the holes aren’t drilled properly. Total turd. But that’s what you get with cheap stuff I guess.

No idea really... I had x2 Behr rads that were sent back as they were bent! But that'll be shitty couriers for you, not the maker etc
The Nissens rad I had in my E38 728i lasted nearly 3 years before I sold the car, zero issues! Bought it as my local motorfactors had one in stock, whereas Behr was a 2-3 day delivery option etc. Looked exactly like the OEM Behr rad that was removed due to a cracked side tank etc
My car: 2002 E39 540i Sport - Japanese import - the new project!
1-1/2 hours Remove and Replace with Chinese Import. No Leaks for now. Radiator looked good, brand new etc. However its not the metal work that failed it was the plastic. It replaced a Behr which was made in South Africa that was made in 2011. So 10ish Years on OEM, 7 Years on Replacement.
The only thing I’ve seen Nissens as an oem too is Japanese cars. For whatever reason the radiator I got is junk.
