I'm replacing the upper radiator hose on an N54-powered BMW. If you're looking at a coolant leak, a damaged hose connection, or a cooling-system refresh on a 335i, 135i, or 535i, this video lets you see the hose and the actual job instead of guessing from a diagram.

This is an upper radiator hose repair on the BMW N54 cooling system. Start by identifying where coolant is escaping: the hose itself, the quick-connect joint, and nearby parts can present similar symptoms. The clip provides a view of the hose location and replacement work. If you're researching 335i coolant loss or a cracked N54 upper radiator hose, compare the connections with your vehicle and confirm fitment by VIN. Cooling-system pressure and coolant handling require care when the engine has been running.
