Looks like No. 4 to me on here to me https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showpa ... Id=17_0249
I replaced my radiator today and one of the top hoses came off easier after releasing the vacuum in the system. Try unscrewing that blue bleed screw a bit then wiggle up and down while you're pulling.

Will do. What about the hose near the engine?

Do you mean the hose in your second picture? Is that not the other end of hose No. 4?
I don't know if the aftermarket hose is any good, but I've just had a quick look at the price of OEM so I would probably go aftermarket if it were me.

I will be going with the genuine part. Also, can you tell me how put in new coolant in the system? I will be draining all out.

There are a few threads on here about bleeding the coolant system but it helps to see someone do it https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=deskt ... nel=zed4me05_3.0i_zoom wrote: ↑Mon Jul 12, 2021 11:19 pm Also, can you tell me how put in new coolant in the system?
Keep checking and topping up the coolant level, and checking the engine temperature isn't going above half way on the dash, and that you get hot air from the vents when you're done.
I needed to put in just over 5 litres after replacing my radiator but I think the whole system takes about 9 litres. Depends how much of it comes out when you drain it.
Good luck
