^ Agreed! I have had great luck with AutohausAZ as well. Solid selection, pricing and quick ship that's free. I work at a dealer and there are some items that can't even touch their pricing even with my employee discount which can be very good depending on the item.

I spent around 4hrs online shopping prices on the items, AutohausAZ is WAY less then any online seller (was seeing around $300 for the rad ALONE with shipping).

AutohausAZs prices/free shipping is like getting the hose and fan switch for FREE!

Is your radiator bad James or is this preventative maintenance?

FCP Groton has some very good clearance prices right now too. I didn't see the Behr radiator at the price you got (I think they were at $245), but I stocked up on a bunch or fasteners, clips, and retainers that always seem to break when servicing something.

TiAgX5, I'm a big fan of autohausaz. Generally good prices and excellent service. I have used them for years for bimmer and benz parts, maintenance stuff.

The OE radiator is starting to leak at the left upper seam.

The lower hose and aux fan switch are preventative maint (these are still OE too).

Replaced my battery and got to use the God-knows-how-many-piece ratchet set I bought a while back. Probably should have got someone to do it because now my back is hurtin like the iron curtain. :P

Autohausaz, FCPeuro, and blunttech are my parts suppliers of choice. Have ordered bucketloads from all of them for the BMW fleet we run... Right now it seems like FCP has better pricing on most of the E53 stuff I've needed.
