How many different types of radiator can you get for the above - heard people mentioning tropical? Need a radiator for 2.5 but not sure what one has previously been in the car

Is that the correct radiator? I need a tropical.

That is from a 325i south african spec car with air con

Your car should have/did have a standard facelift M20 auto radiator, John.

[johnt0709]

Will it fit - what's the correct radiator? Or should it have a normal 325 radiator?

[cecotto479]

Standard radiator was fitted from the factory. Tropical rad will fit. It's just a bit longer.

Off the top of my head:

manual,
auto,
manual with air con,
auto with air con,
tropical,

Basically a manual car can have any fitted, an auto needs an auto radiator. Manual with air con, and tropical rads are larger than the plain standard radiator.
