Kevin,
     The SA Rads. are made of copper and steel.  The OEM Rad. is plastic
and aluminum.  Now if the german rads. are oem, what this mean is longer
life, and a lot lighter in weight.
     Early in DB begining, It took three of these SA rad. to get a
good one.   This (at the time) seemed to me as if they were seconds,
although DB refuted this.
     Fine out if the German made rads. are OEM. If so, go for it!
BTW I would shop around for this also.... may fine a deal else were.
