He had tried to botch repair it with some putty stuff in the past but that obviously didn't work!

You sure that wasn't Dane!? LOL

I know the radiator inlet is a known weak point in the E39 M62 engine (it broke like clockwork ~6 years), but I think it's less of a concern in the M54.

Not related to ZHPs, but I'm inheriting my grandmother's 2007 Honda Civic and I need to replace the taillight and was wondering if anyone has a good website/resource for Japanese parts?

I’ve never used it, but there’s legitimately a website called OvernightPartsFromJapan

www.ONPFJ.com

They accept Bitcoin, so you know it’s not sketchy at all.

I've been ordering cheap parts for cars that I don't care about from carparts.com. Pricing is super cheap, shipping quick, and the parts that I ordered were of pretty good quality. Had great experiences with them.

I would also look at rockauto. Website looks dated but I’ve heard positive reviews from quite a few people.

http://car-part.com/ is a directory of auto recyclers, if a used tail light is OK - I'm sure you won't have trouble finding one for a Civic there or on eBay.

That's both hilarious and I am disappointed in myself that I am surprised that that's a thing.

A good friend is a die-hard Audi guy (so you know he has to buy lots of parts) and he swears by rockauto.
