Coolant leaks in the "valley" between cylinder banks on the N62 V8 are very common. The pipe that carries coolant from the front of the engine to the rear will leak from the front seal onto the valley pan and engine block. If an N62 has not had its coolant pipe replaced it will need it at some point. Fixing the leak is a very intense project that involves removing the intake manifold, valve covers, and most of the top end of the engine. The good news is that the repair procedure will usually solve multiple other leaks or problems at the same time.
This transfer pipe solution is from URO Parts and is a better solution than just installing a new factory pipe from BMW (which requires a much bigger install). This pipe is telescopic and expands to fit inside the front and rear coolant ports. The collapsing tube features a series of three internal o-rings to prevent leaks and a spiral lock ring prevents it from collapsing or coming loose. The new front seal included in the kit is made from EPDM silicone, a premium material to the original factory rubber seal. While this solution does not guarantee the front seal won't leak again, it makes a future repair much easier.
This N62 coolant transfer pipe upgrade is a Premium design from URO Parts. URO Premium parts are designed and engineered in the USA using an OE+ approach. URO engineers use the original design but with several improvements in materials and design to make a coolant pipe that lasts longer and performs better than the stock part. URO Premium parts are true upgrades that surpass OEM parts but without compromises to performance or longevity. This part has a lifetime warranty.
