Failed after 9k miles
Don't bother buying unless you feel like replacing it with every oil change. It would randomly leak a little during the first 9k miles. It's now full-on weeping near the top metal hose clamp. Many are having similar issues on the forums so just pony up and stick with the OEM hose.

Failed in under 2 years
Been leaking for a while and for to the point where it was about 7oz in 2 weeks of driving. Leaked under the metal band on the radiator side/connector. Looking at the other side, it's starting to fail on the OFH side too, although it's just crusty, not dripping. Don't buy Rein

Fight perfectly
The part was perfect and fit perfectly. It came well packaged. I only hoped that there was an aftermarket that fixed that nipple from corroding.

Great Hose, Be Careful!
2011 BMW 335i xDrive N55 - The image of this hose is upside down and kinda confusing. The nipple shown goes DOWN and there is a tiny nipple that 1727565094 plugs into with a hose clamp and that nipple is always extremely brittle and breaks, so this is a great hose for preventative maintenance. Both hoses, actually. On the original hose I took off the c-clip that went into the oil filter housing and upon removing the hose the inside plastic lip and o-ring came out... but it's all 1 piece in the hose! That's what happens when these plastic pieces touch metal and have heating and cooling cycles, so this hose is almost a must to replace with a brand new one and this one fit like a glove... a little too much! I had to swap the o-rings from one side to the other to force it on, so it's on there pretty good! These hoses come with the o-rings needed, btw!

Rein Radiator Hose
Before getting this hose replaced it would leak coolant drip by drip leaving a mess , So i ordered one and had it installed , and haven't had any problems with it since. ( Bay Area Supporting !)

upper radiator hose busted
great quality and pretty thorough installation. you’ll need a flat head screw driver and a T 25 torx to remove the front part of the intake.

FCP
My first purchase from FCP after my hose burst in my driveway. Came exactly on time and in good condition. Put on, replaced lost coolant, have not had an issue since install (at least a year ago), one happy customer who will happily purchase again!

Good factory part
I tried to go with the Vargas lines but the lower wouldn't fit my 2011 335IS so I had to return the kit and go with factory parts. They fit good, good quality, can't complian.
