This Lower Radiator Hose is a OEM replacement for your E34 525i with the M50 engine. The 525i models started coming with the updated 24 valve M50 engine starting in the model year 1991, and ran through years 1992, 1993, 1994, and 1995. This includes the 1991-1995 525i sedan and 525iT wagon.
Rubber hoses are ideal when new, as they allow some movement and flexibility during driving. The only problem is that they begin to degrade as they age and can eventually fail. The plastic clips and metal retaining clamps on hoses are stronger than before but they are only really good for one-time use. Once removed they never seem to seal as well, leading to a leak soon after. A new hose is recommended any time the old one is disconnected (unless it's only a couple of years old). We highly recommend that you replace your radiator hoses as a preventative measure before they fail in order to save you from further headaches and expenses.
This is a radiator hose manufactured by Rein (CRP) Automotive - an original supplier to BMW for many engine components. As an OEM, Rein meets all of BMW's original design, fitment, and performance requirements and is TUV approved. OEM parts are the best alternative to more expensive Original BMW parts because they are virtually identical without the inflated price tag. This part has a two year warranty.
