Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle year, model, and HVAC configuration before installation. This heater core uses a specific fit and does not feature adjustable pipe positioning. Because heater core replacement often requires access through the HVAC case, inspect coolant condition, hose connections, and related seals during service.

Quality Assurance

Global Parts 8231568 is an aluminum HVAC heater core built for direct-fit replacement in the listed BMW applications. Confirm fitment against the vehicle’s year and model before ordering.
