The one originally that came with your car is below. You would have to source a plug since you don't have one to get the one with the drain port to work unless it comes with it. PN: 17-11-7-519-209
Hell forget that. Send it back. You didn't pay for a radiator to fix it. If it does have a leak then what. I would send it back. If he didn't put it on the post selling it send it back. Those ports are thin.

The only thing I've changed on mine was the condenser and that's only because the compressor broke from the inside. I'm still on my original radiator @ 190k.

Money saved. Lol. I probably should think about changing my radiator when I do a coolant system refresh this year. It is a 16 year old car
