WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW M3, 2012 BMW M3, and 2011 BMW M3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
Even when they are correctly installed or due to normal driving, radiators (oil cooler, radiator, charge air cooler) or air conditioning condensers may show slight impressions or deformations on their discs (1).
A slight sag with a large radius for the air conditioning condenser is also permissible.
As long as tightness/function are not degraded and an adequate distance of a few mm between the radiator and air conditioning condenser remains in place, this is not damage in either case .
Radiators or air conditioning condensers are not to be replaced in these cases!
