Does anybody know the correct size radiator for an m54 manual engine with aircon and or recommend a decent make?

Autodoc isn't very clear on the correct size and whether it makes a difference if the car is manual or has aircon fitted,

I've got a slight coolant leak coming from the very front of the car but when the car is jacked up and idling I can't see a drop coming from anywhere so I assume its the radiator leaking once the thermostat is open and it's upto pressure and temperature. I've replaced the expansion tank and thermostat recently and all the pipes look fine so I'm pretty sure it's the radiator or maybe that bracket the bottle mounts onto
 
I fitted an EIS radiator from Euro Car Parts in April '22. I have an M54 2.5, manual with aircon. Think I only paid £65 or so. Seeing as EIS is a German brand I thought I'd take the chance at that price. It's done 8,000 miles now and been spot-on :thumbsup: 20220405_132938.jpg20220405_132947~3.jpg20220405_133231.jpg20220405_150615~3.jpg

That's brilliant help and much appreciated, I looked at that radiator but it's out of stock, i should be able to get the spec of it tho and buy an equivalent.

Mine is a 2.2 but it's virtually the same as the 2.5 so should be OK
