Your question is unclear to me and I am not sure what you are asking, please restate your question.

The transmission lines go to the transmission cooler which is a separate unit that sits in front of the radiator. A 1993 E34 body style 525 does not distinguish between manual and automatic radiators due to this, so I was wondering what you expected. If the mounting is what you are asking about, the speed clips need to be used from the old radiator to give the mounting screws a place to screw into.
