+1 to the above.

I went to replace the coolant overflow hose from the driver's side of the upper radiator hose to the coolant reservoir. By the time I was done, I had broken the upper radiator hose connection and the radiator end on a 2011 e82 with 100k miles. Plastic already doesn't age well, and this plastic gets heat cycled every time you operate the car.

You could source an all aluminum setup with silicone hoses, but that would set you back about $1200-$1500.
