My Ride: 2006 525i with nav and blue tooth , the wifes
and 1999 740il, my beast
The radiator in my 99 740il fails every 60 k miles and I know this to be typical of this car. I also have a 2006 525i and want to know if the radiators have been improved or if I can expect this radiator to crack at 60k miles also....as a preventive measure how often should I replace the radiator??? Who has experience with this Thanks!! Henry

I wouldn't worry too much about the radiator cracking if your car only has around 60k miles on it. From what I read, it's the expansion tank leaking or the hoses cracking should be more of a concern than the radiator.
