BMW Rubber Grommet (318i 325i 533i) - Genuine BMW 17111117442

Product Information

A radiator mount is a support component that secures the radiator to the vehicle's frame or body. It typically consists of rubber or plastic brackets or isolators designed to dampen vibrations and help keep the radiator properly positioned to facilitate efficient cooling. Proper mounting is essential for maintaining the alignment of the radiator with the engine and the cooling system.

• Radiator Movement: If the mounts are worn or damaged, the radiator may become loose and shift position, which can lead to misalignment with hoses or the engine
• Increased Vibration: A failing radiator mount may not absorb vibrations effectively, leading to increased vibrations felt in the engine bay or cabin while driving

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.
