Product Details

APDI Radiator 8012038 is engineered for BMW cooling-system service where a replacement radiator must match the original fitment and hose connection sizes. The aluminum core supports heat transfer, while the plastic tank construction follows the OE-style configuration used on the 1997-2002 BMW Z3. This radiator is a practical choice when servicing a BMW Z3 with cooling-system wear, leakage, or reduced heat rejection.

This part cross-references FEL-PRO 60638 for the same application.
