If you're looking to keep your engine cool and running smoothly, the CSF radiator is a solid choice. These guys have been in the game for over 50 years, and they really know their stuff. With more than 3,200 different models, they’ve got options for everything from Acura to Volkswagen, so you can bet they’ve got something that fits your ride.

What I really appreciate about CSF is that they stick to the same materials and design as the original equipment (OE). Whether your current radiator is Copper-Brass, Plastic-Copper-Brass, or All Aluminum, CSF has you covered. They focus on quality, and it shows. Each radiator is built to high-performance standards and has been tested in wind tunnels to ensure optimal cooling performance. They’ve sold over 30 million units worldwide, which speaks volumes about their reliability.

The construction is top-notch, featuring OEM specified Plastic Tank-Aluminum Core. The tanks are made from virgin-grade engineered plastic resins that are glass-filled for added strength and durability. Plus, the gaskets are crafted from special-grade EPDM rubber, so they can handle extreme temperatures—up to -120°F. That’s a serious level of resilience!

  • High-Performance Fins: The multi-louvered design ensures maximum cooling efficiency, which is crucial when you’re pushing your vehicle to the limits.
  • Leak Tested: Each unit is 100% leak tested at 150% of operating pressure before it leaves the factory. You won’t be worrying about coolant leaks with this radiator.
  • Durable Packaging: It even meets a "10-foot drop test" standard, so you know it’s going to arrive in one piece.

As for the specs, this is a crossflow radiator with a single row, measuring 23 5/8" in length, 13 5/8" in width, and 1 1/4" thick. The core is aluminum, while the tanks are made from sturdy plastic. You’ll find the inlet on the upper driver side and the outlet on the lower passenger side, both with a diameter of 1 1/2".

This radiator fits a range of BMW models, including:

  • BMW 1-Series (2008-2013)
  • BMW 3-Series (2007-2013)
  • BMW X1 (2012-2015)
  • BMW Z4 (2009-2016)

And just a heads up, it comes with a cooling circuit control sleeve, which is a nice touch. If you’re replacing your radiator, you want something that not only fits well but also performs like it should. The CSF radiator checks all those boxes.

Anyone who needs a new radiator should consider buying a CSF radiator. A CSF radiator and CSF cooling system offers the best performance for driving and racing enthusiasts.

Why Should I Buy a CSF Radiator? 

A CSF radiator offers a number of benefits over the competition. Below, we explain the main reasons why you should buy a CSF radiator.

CSF takes pride in the quality of its products and offers one of the best warranty’s in the industry. Please refer to the CSF warranty card in the shipping carton for details.

CSF warranty is applicable only to the original owner of the vehicle. Original paper work verifying the proof of purchase and pre-installation cooling system checklist signed by the professional installer is required to process warranty claims.

All warranty claims should be directed to the point of purchase. Due to CSF’s established agreements with Authorized CSF Warehouse Distributors, CSF is unable to handle and/or process warranty related calls/inquires from any individuals – all inquires/warranty related claims should be directed to the point of purchase or an authorized warehouse distributor.

Take care of your radiator, as under circumstances listed below the warranty will be void.

If the radiator is installed and is returned deformed (bulging tanks, warped core etc.), this is an indication that the radiator is the victim of some other problem and not the cause. The deformation is a result of the radiator being subjected to extremely high pressure and or temperature caused by any of the following reasons:Defective Pressure Cap, Defective Head Gasket, Defective Temperature gauge (incorrect readings), Defective Water Pump etc. Such units are not covered under the warranty.

If a radiator seems to have a “fit problem” there is the possibility that there is some confusion about a multi-fit radiator that might look different. Your nearest CSF WD can clarify the application, just give them a call. A perceived fit problem is not covered under warranty.

If a unit is damaged in shipping, please file a claim with the carrier. Damages caused during shipping, installation or handling are not covered under warranty.

Any repairs or alterations to the unit will automatically void the warranty.

Any form of abuse, including the use of improper coolant mixtures, damage caused by steam, corrosion etc and use on commercial vehicles voids the warranty. It is the vehicle owners’ responsibility to maintain the cooling system as specified in the owners manual.
