I wrecked my car awhile back and have been slowly rebuilding it, a few months ago i bought a radiator from a salvage yard and had it shipped to me, today i noticed one slight different there is no place for the small coolant hose on the bottom passenger side of the radiator, I got my old radiator and everything matches except for differences in numbers after the part number

On my original its 7257114 EAW51T

and on the one i bought its 7527114 E2115T

I researched though bmwfans site and didnt notice where they changed radiators... does anyone have any idea why there is a difference?

I have a manual transmission and according to ecs that is for the manuals, so now im really confused.
