    Cooling system kits

    Hi all, just bought a 2005 130i and thinking of doing a complete cooling system replacement (pipes/pump/thermostat/exp tank/radiatior heater hoses). Does anyone know where I can get a good complete OEM quality kit? FCP Euro and Pelican parts are no good. Is there another model of 3.0 car that has a kit that would fit?
    Thanks John

    Go to www.realoem.com and enter the last 7 characters of the car’s vehicle identification number. Hit enter and bookmark the page. Cooling system parts are in 2 sections:
    - engine
    - radiator

    Get the part numbers and then go to FCPEuro. Why FCPEuro? Great prices, amazing tech support and a lifetime warranty on everything it sells, including oil!! Now, FCPEuro’s website will typically show 4 different parts when you enter a part number:
    - BMW branded
    - original equipment (OE)
    - original equipment manufacturer (OEM)
    - aftermarket.

    The first is basically the same part you’d get at the dealer. The second is a past manufactured by the same company that makes the part for BMW. The third is a part made by a supplier to BMW, but it does not make this part for BMW. The last speaks for itself. Buy OE parts.
