BMW E39 530D 1999 heater core replacment.

The heater core started leaking on this one. Replacing it was a pain. Hardly any information on the internet. And it turns out they don't make the same heater core that came out of this car. I was looking for a used one like this, and I found four variants that looked hardly better than the one I pulled out. And since they don't sell the aftermarket one with the pipes, I ended up buying a used aftermarket with the pipes that look's pretty decent. It's smaller than the original, and it didin't fit perfectly, but for a car with 550000km, it works good enough to keep it on the road for a little while longer. I didn't film removing the dash because I made a video before replacing the blower motor showing it. Here is that video: ;   • BMW E39 530D 1999 blower motor replacement...      • BMW E39 530D 1999 blower motor replacement...
