BMW 3 Series E46 E90 Z4 Engine Radiator 17119071517 / 17117559273

Product overview

A new engine radiator for a range of BMW models, referenced to OE-reference numbers 17119071517, 17119071518 and 17117559273. The listing describes an aluminium core with plastic tanks, and the title references a PA66 GF30 tank material. A leaking radiator, cracked plastic tank or blocked core can lead to coolant loss, rising temperatures and eventually serious engine damage, so prompt replacement is important.

Vehicle compatibility

The listed fitment table has 102 entries, mainly the BMW 3 Series E46 sedan, Touring, Coupe, Convertible and Compact (approx. 1998–2006) with petrol and diesel engines from 316i to 330xi and 330d, plus the Z4 Roadster E85 and E89. The model attributes also list the E90, E91, E92 and E93 3 Series, 1 Series E81, E82 and E88, and X1 E84. These platforms use different radiators, and both manual and automatic versions exist, so the quoted numbers will not all suit every model. Please confirm by OE-reference number or VIN before ordering.

Technical specifications

Installation requirements

Drain the cooling system with the engine cold, remove the fan shroud and hoses, and release the radiator from its mounts. Transfer any sensors and brackets, and refill with BMW-approved coolant. These engines require careful bleeding to remove trapped air, so installation by a qualified mechanic is recommended. Check for leaks and monitor temperature during a test drive.

Fitment checks before ordering

The part listing also refers to an air-conditioning condenser, which is a different component. Please check the number on your current radiator or send us your VIN so we can confirm the exact part supplied before you order.
