anyone knows if an e46 radiator fits? according on the measures i found on ebay, it's nearly the same dimensions of the 535i one, but it cost a half here in italy!

As long as it fit's between the chassis rails anything can be made to fit What position do you have your engine in (assuming it's an M30) I've run a standard M20B25 rad and now a standard E34 535 rad with my engine in position 3 (furthest back)

What is the E46 rad off?

E46 will have the expansion tank on the side of the rad though, dont know if it will be an issue.

I too ran an M20 rad for a while and didnt have any 'shityourself' moments at all, although the fan is on a lot

the e46 radiators are all the same from 316i to 330i! they are the same size of the 535i e28 one! i have already a e36 318is radiator but it's very little, my m20b20 radiator is pre restyling and it's really tiny!

but you're right i didn't thought about the expansion tank... where must it be plugged using the e28 radiator?

oh i have the engine in pos2, the e36 radiator fits well

[Luca318is]

ok no problem guys, thanks anyway i probably find a used e24 radiator!
