https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-X5-E5...E~F:rk:11:pf:0

Would the above be a good replacement?

I've checked on realoem and can't find a different model radiator but mine is a gulf version and handles air temps up to 60c and so far no issues with cooling (knock on wood) so if anyone finds what the real difference is (if there is one) I'd go with it when redoing your system.

What's a gulf version? Was there an ultra heavy duty radiator available?

I don't know about the radiator since nothing is shown as different so it may be some sort of different thermostat or programming but at 50c I've never been hot even after 30+ minutes idling.
