It has a coolant level sensor underneath the coolant tank on the side of the radiator.
E30 rads which have the combined tank also have the boss for this sensor present, but unused.
The sensor gives the same electrical signal as an E30 one, but the sensor is different as it works the other way up. It's also a slightly different length.
