Wow am I ever happy I found this part! It is amazing the OEM apart from BMW is so awful! My low mileage 2007 525i with no warning dropped power steering, so I checked under the hood and found the serpentine belt fell off. OK, weird deal, but I'll fix that with a new belt & tensioner. After a job well done later, started up, checked things over and noticed some coolant dribbling out by the radiator hose. Now a huge WTF showed up... The OEM part was so rotted and brittle it did not hold itself together when I tugged on it. This factory part should have been a recall, but instead a much better idea was invented by a smart engineer and is being knocked off by the thousands in China... Here's your perfect chance to make a difference and buy USA made products!

This product is a Five stars for me because it save me a lot of money I change my radiator hose 2 times because of just the little fitting part the original part is plastic and this ones is Aluminum So therefore is more resistance and also more durable I installed and it working amazing it fits pretty tight so there is no gap for leaks I recommend this part it work for me specially the price is right and the quality As well

I had to change my oil filter adapter and oil cooler adapter gaskets and the post I found on the web earned that the plastic fitting was likely to be falling apart. So right! This aluminum replacement is a thing of beauty and worked perfectly. Without it I should have had to replace the whole hose for more money and a lot of extra work. I know just a little about machining and I don't know how you're making a profit on these, but thanks for producing then!

Great solution, especially for that crapy plastic fitments. A bit tricky to fit. O-ring needs some grease to slide and fit inside the hole and don't break the seal. Apart of that, nothing to complain. Clamp is strong, perfect size and good quality. 100% recommend. Thanks

This OEM fitting works perfect and is made very well. Took roughly 15 minutes to install due to the limited room you have to work with. Best of all is the value, BMW wanted $93 for the fitting and hose already attached vs. OEM which is cheaper and of much higher quality.
