Radiator Replacement tips or tricks?

Hey all, anyone out there changed their radiator on an E53 4.4? It looks pretty straight forward, but I know on my wifes 325xi when I swapped the radiator I broke the thermostat at the bottom of the expansion tank when I pulled it off. Wondering if there's any hidden parts like that on this one.
Thanks

2005 E53 4.4

Should be straightforward, remove top air intake parts, aux fan, drain coolant, and might need to wrestle with the top and bottom hoses as they'll be stuck in there.
