Purchased a radiator from bimmerparts a little over one year ago. It was a 
straight installation, no cutting or drilling of mounting holes. The first 
unit lasted about 2-3 months when it developed a leak at a seam. Bimmerparts 
replaced it, the unit arrived within 2 days of my call to them, and the 
replacement unit so far has held up, knock on wood and pay homage to the Audi 
gods.

Good luck with the new job. Always good to hear some one in the Audi group 
getting to work in the business even if it is on the dark side of it, 
Mercedes...:-)
