me I use 3,91 but it is far too short for a road use...
anyway if you don't have problems to "cruise" at 4000rpm at 120km/h, use one because acceleration is really incredible... winkeye

Rad from 320 is too small as we all said before, just a few donuts before overheating, electrical fan was running but not enough.
i will buy a e28 rad...

thanks for your help,
It seems that the e30 320 radiator is too small because i have the same setup as you andy,I tried with the e30 rad but pressure made one of my connection fail
I fixed it, but if I try to run without pression, water ran out of the expansion tank just like gorilla said.
