In Reply to: Radiator Tank Nipple posted by David on September 19, 2000 at 22:10:43:

BMW sells a repair kit for the nipple. Here is the info (I copy and pasted from BCG webpage)..


Radiator Nipple Repair - "Norm Grills"

If you break off the overflow/return nipple on the radiator, it can be repaired. BMW sells a repair kit, probably because this is a high frequency problem. The part number is 17-11-9-055-593 and costs a whopping $4.52. Be REAL careful not to over-tighten it or you will crack the tank and be back to square one.

Hope that helps!
