Sorry for duplicating what I posted on Newbie list, but there seems to be more traffic on this list. So hopefully I'll get some replies over here.

I know aficionados stick to original manufactured (OEM) parts. But for those of us dealing with older model BMWs on limitted budgets, what's the scoop on Nissens radiators? With Nissens costing almost 1/3 less than Behrs, I'm wondering how Nissens undercuts Behr? Is this a case of you get what you pay for, or is it partly a situation where you are paying for the name? Does Nissens cut in quality? Or simply employ an economy of scale?
Does anyone know of direct comparisons between Nissens & Behr (beyond price)? Or has anyone had experience with Nissens?
