on a E32 750iL Highline 12/1992, maybe interesting to see how that looks inside

Got the new Behr heater core for less than 100 $ from Germany

Autohaus charges almost $ 170

But of course they include the shipping cost for orders >50 $.

I felt rather heroic after successfully changing my heater core but wanted to ask what your opinion is about getting each and every last one of the little aluminum clips back on the cover. I found i was unable to reach to every clip fitments so ended up with perhaps as few as half of them back on albeit in a good overall distribution around the perimeter . I feared i would lose blower force due to leakage but this has not happened. My dash has a rigid bolted vertical bar to the right of the steering column which looked like it bolted to the dash top that made it very difficult to wrench the bolt holding in the swing gate for the two side pipes and also made it impossible to reach to come of those clip fitments but its been running just fine for a couple of months now,hasn't sprung a leak and blows plenty strong. Saving over a thousand dollars for the job still proves a source of satisfaction.
