Necessary replacement for another terrible bmw part.

Car only had 75k miles and that old plastic flange broke right in the cylinder head upon removal 20 bucks is much better than a tow fee DO THIS!!!

If you touch the factory plastic connector it's now broken. In fact if you even think about the fact that it exists it will likely break. Cut that factory garbage off and install this part. It'll save you from unnecessary break down, and you'll be able to ensure no leaks!

Replace this part ASAP !

i read that the original flange should be replaced before it fails. when i removed the original, it fell apart and part of it was broken already. i avoided a breakdown for sure. the new one not only is more durable being aluminum but it looks better on the engine.

Way better than vtto Flange. The clamp it comes with is a lot better than the vtto hose clamp. Fit great,comes with the gasket. My original flange has not broke yet but when i took it off the car to replace it to this new one the original one disintegrated.

Sturdy flange made of metal and not plastic. My story is no different than the majority of previous owners ; a failed deteriorating “BMW” plastic radiator flange. This replacement should outlast the engine’s life span.

This super affordable part will save you so much money down the road. The plastic flange I had on my N55 just started to deteriorate and I only had 40k miles on my X5 E70 35i at the time I replaced it. Replaced the crap plastic flange for peace of mind.

works good and is easy to install
