Basic E82 vs E90/E92 question.

Ursan · 12-18-2019, 01:23 PM

What's available for coolant hoses for the 128 with N51/N52 engines?

I'm planning on doing a hose swap along with the water pump this summer and wanted to upgrade to something possible better than OEM (if available).

The E90/E92 with the same powerplant are more or less the same hose routing? I ask becuse the sites I'm going to don't list the E8x series.

Anyone with actual helpful information, such as personal experience?

E9x and E8x are identical mechanically.

Only difference is the length of axles/driveshaft, rear hubs, brakes, maybe a handful of pieces to support those systems but nothing major. Everything else is exactly the same.
