BMW E90 Radiator Replacement DIY (BMW N52 Engine – 2006-2013 128i, 325i, 328i, 330i, & Z4)

► BMW E90 radiator replacement isn’t the most common job you will have to complete on the car, but one you might have to do as it gets up there in age. BMW cooling systems have always been the butt of many jokes, but when it comes to the N52 engine in the E9X generation of BMW 3-series, it is less of an issue.

Radiator replacement on the BMW N52 isn’t a very difficult job; it’s something that with this video, most anyone can tackle at home in their garage or driveway with few specialty tools. Mike Hidalgo, FCP Euro’s Professional DIY’er and owner of multiple BMWs, takes us through the step-by-step process of replacing the radiator on this 2006 BMW 330i.

I'm curious as e90 post has a walk-through that specifically says to leave closed the radiator cap and bleed screw during this process. I also agree with a 2 bleed procedure, I had an issue with my own that needed a 2nd venting

Excellent guide. When I saw the short list of required tools, I knew it would be a relatively easy DIY
