Good source for Behr replacement radiator? 03 E500

I just purchased my 2003 E500 this week and want to proactively replace my Valeo radiator with a Behr unit. Any recommendation of where to find the Behr at a good price? I plan to have the transmission fluid and filter changed after the radiator replacement.

That radiator is not for an E500. You want part number A 211 500 31 02.

The factory radiator is made by Valeo, not Behr. You can check with purems.com for the parts you need, they've got everything.
