Behr radiator still king?
I have an 03 built in 07/03. It has 90k miles and has the Valeo.
My tech says he's not sure if/when he can even get the Behr, and said the dealer can't promise what brand will come in if they order a new e55 radiator?
I want to order the part online. Which radiator is worth buying?
I see behr prices from $167 to $350, so im not sure where to start.
What part number?

2004 E55
I have a 2004 E55 I bought 2 years ago with 92k. It is my daily driver and now has 115k. It is a early production 04 (09/2003). Some 03's and early 04's have issues in the radiator / trans cooler. I replaced the original with a Nissens radiator along with hoses and t-stat shortly after acquiring the car. It is a excellent unit and very well priced. I am very happy with it.

Any dealer radiator will be fine, They won't have been selling defective radiators for the last 15 years.
I usually use fcpeuro or pelicanparts.
