Another cracked radiator

14 X1 sDrive28i at 90k miles. Previous owner replaced radiator at 66k miles.

My car just went in for service, I had the low coolant light come on. Had to top it off 1-2 before I was able to get it in for the service. Same issue as you guys, upon inspection it looks like the plastic has separated slighting from the aluminum causing a leak. Getting a new radiator and some fresh hoses tomorrow.

Hard to believe so many of us all have radiators failing 1-2 times on sub 100k mile cars. Thinking it may be time to part with this car soon. Doesn't sound like the mechanics are big fans of this N20 motor.
