2008 3.0si Radiator Replacement

My 2008 3.0 has recently developed a small coolant leak. Looks like its coming from the driver side of the radiator. Does not appear to be a hose leak but likely the radiator itself is failing. Vehicle has roughly 115K miles.

As I change the radiator I plan to change the hoses and belts as well.

After doing some research it looks like BMW has changed the radiator design which requires an different radiator hose and perhaps a vent cap (plug).

REALOEM provides the following part numbers:
1711 7 585 036 Radiator (new and requires the next part)
1153 7 609 944 Hose Cooler for Engine Oil
1712 7 593 490 Coolant Hose (Requires next 2 parts - Upper?)
1712 7 536 235 Vent Pipe
1712 7 598 004 Cap
1712 7 537 108 Coolant Hose (Lower?)
1712 7 537 109 Coolant Hose (4 way Inlet?)
1712 7 537 101 Coolant Hose (reservoir hose?)
1712 7 555 290 Vent Pipe (recovery tank hose)

Can anyone with recent experience or knowledge confirm that these are the correct parts that I need to replace the radiator and hoses?

Thanks in advance
