Replacement Engine Cooling Radiator for BMW 5 Series E39 Manual Transmission
Replacement engine cooling radiator for selected BMW 5 Series E39 520i, 523i and 528i manual-transmission models from 1995 onward. It features a 520 × 438 × 32 mm aluminum cooling core, plastic water tanks and a non-integrated transmission oil cooler configuration.
1. Vehicle Fitment and OE Identification
The KU-FV-04-002 engine cooling radiator is designed for selected BMW 5 Series E39 manual-transmission models manufactured from 1995 onward. Intended applications include the BMW 520i, 523i and 528i.
It cross-references OE numbers 1740698, 1740699, 1742154 and 1740701. Buyers should verify the OE number, VIN, engine specification and transmission type before ordering.
2. Manual-Transmission Cooling Configuration
• Manual Transmission Design: Configured for compatible BMW E39 vehicles equipped with manual transmissions.
• Non-Integrated Oil Cooler: Supplied without an internal transmission oil cooler, matching the cooling requirements of the specified manual-transmission applications.
• 32 mm Core Thickness: Provides a suitable heat-transfer area within the corresponding original radiator installation space.
• Efficient Coolant Circulation: The vehicle-specific tank and connection layout supports coolant circulation through the engine cooling system.
3. Radiator Construction
• Aluminum Cooling Core: Transfers heat from the engine coolant to the surrounding airflow.
• Plastic Water Tanks: Injection-molded tanks provide a practical combination of reduced weight, strength and corrosion resistance.
• Dense Cooling Fins: Increase the available surface area for heat exchange across the radiator core.
• Vehicle-Specific Connections: The inlet, outlet and mounting points are configured for the corresponding E39 cooling-system layout.
4. Replacement and Procurement Benefits
• OE-Referenced Replacement: Suitable for replacing a damaged, leaking, blocked or inefficient original radiator.
• Direct-Fit Configuration: Designed around the corresponding mounting position and cooling-system connections.
• Simplified Maintenance: Accessible cooling fins can be cleaned during routine cooling-system servicing.
• Distribution Application: Suitable for automotive parts importers, wholesalers, distributors and repair workshops.
• Professional Installation: Installation and cooling-system inspection should be completed by qualified automotive technicians.
