So, the previous owner apparently welded the thing back together....... but it clearly needs replaced. Anyhow, I'm out of my place of residence and will need to bring it in to a mechanic.
So, my problem is. I don't want to pay mechanic prices ($700-1k) for a sub $200 part), not to mention I'll need to replace the hoses and as you can imagine everyone wants more money for it (We're talking well past the parts)!
Does anyone have any recommendations on what I can do? I don't see any reason to waste money on the OEM Radiator, but it seems my options are to just take whatever is available. Or risk driving it back while constantly refilling it on the side of the highway.
Side Question: I need to replace the O2 sensor as well......... any ideas?
EDIT:
Just realized I posted in the wrong forum! Self-reporting now!

Best site for parts:https://www.fcpeuro.com/BMW-parts/32...004&m=20&e=177
Hey, I appreciate it pal. I got the radiator fixed, replaced the tires later today.
I'm still looking for parts to replace the rear shocks/springs/struts.
Looking at that site I'm seeing a few options.
What do you think would be the best option?
Depends on use, and what you hope to accomplish, based on your present set-up.
Mostly interstate, some snow..... about it really.
Just needed to confirm if DD duties or lowered track duties.
If your springs are fine and not cracked, which some are prone to,
then I suggest this:https://www.turnermotorsport.com/e/p...ks-struts-kit/
Nice, one of the rear springs are shot (bobblehead ride).

Note your vehicles coil spring part#'s.

Ideally, springs should be replaced as a set,
but if budget is tight, then replace rears only.
