As titled really. Do we use the standard 328i top and bottom radiator hoses?

Are there silicone alternatives available?

Cheers

Yes same hoses, top 1 may need trimming slightly! You can also get silicone replacements.

Hello,
I am very new to this and I need some help. I have a e30 318i with an m52 2.8 conversion which I have only bought recently. It started to overheat and I have noticed that one of the coolant hoses just above the bulkhead has ruptured. I think the hoses are from the e36 but they are to big for the connection with the e30. Does anyone know of any adaptors or specially made hoses? Or any way to stop them splitting?
Thank you
