In the past year I've purchased 3 vehicles from copart, a 2005 F150 (my tow rig), a 2002 BMW 325 XIT (Wagon), and now, this 2002 X5 3.0.
This X5 was involved in a front end collision and it pushed the bottom of the radiator into the pulleys and shredded the power steering belt. Radiator looks fine, I've pulled it out of the car and it was not leaking, and most all damage was to the lower radiator support bar with some minor scuffing to the bumper cover. My questions are, how does the radiator mount to the lower bracket? Does it just rest on it, or are there bolt holes for it? I've already purchased a used bracket for the car and am waiting for it to get here, but I can't find it on realoem.
How does the cooling holder,
RealOEM.com - Online BMW Parts Catalog , mount to the bracket that sits below it?
For reference, this is the bracket I purchased. Mine was all bent and the arms broken at the weld points.
