CSF radiator replacement for 128
Has anyone replaced they're stock radiator with a CSF? Lots of good feedback from 335 owners. My 08 with 96k miles has a slow leak at the upper bend. Seems to be quite a common failure point.

Make sure it is the radiator and not the hose (it has a seal that may go bad)

I like the idea of all aluminum because mine is leaking from the upper plastic elbow. $338 at bimmerworld for all aluminum. The site says it's a little thicker but, still no fitment issue.

Long term reviews starting to trickle in on these and from what I've seen they don't hold up as well as OE and as the whole cooling system is managed by the DME they don't cool any better than stock.

They do cool better than stock. hands down. You just won't see any difference on the street lol. You can also modify the cooling set points if you really want to run cooler on the street.
