- Fits: 2001-2006 BMW X5 6-cylinder 3.0L
- Material: aluminum core, plastic tanks
- Condition: New
A worn or leaking radiator can show up as coolant stains at the tanks or core, an engine that runs hot, or a coolant level that keeps needing top-ups. Before you replace the radiator, rule out a loose hose clamp, a weak radiator cap and a stuck thermostat, since each can cause similar overheating or coolant loss.
