I'm using an E36 aircon rad. My engine was an early one, but I just changed to the later waterpump.

Only pic I can find to hand.

As above, really. Change to the later water pump, and there's a whole host of later BMW rads that will fit in with the correct selection of bottom supports and a bit of creativity with the hoses.

Would you happen to have a picture or part number for the later water pump ? Thanks
