F25 Radiator Replacement & Hoses

[zedguy]

Attempted to replace the radiator in a 2011 X3 3.5i as have a small leak but what I order does not match what is installed in the car. My radiator has 2 main and 2 smaller connections, the replacement only has one small connection on the drivers side. Looked at realoem and correct part number and all the on line replacement radiators have 3 and not 4 connections. Picture below shows grayed out #4 hose that I am talking about. What gives?

clearly you have ordered the wrong parts there are probably multiple parts pictures that look the same but are not. You need to put you vin number in at reloem and then check all the pictures carefully one picture might list an option code you have to have for that part you looking up, but don't have. Check section 17 and 11 for cooling system parts
