I have used a 740i item but the front needs cutting and boxing to make fit as it is much wider than any e30 item

I think the E36 M3 radiator fits between the chassis legs

I use custom-made radiator, clears the oil-filter housing nicely and offers better cooling capacity than the E28 M30 / E36 M3 items, which are not up to the task from my point of view.. Could be "fixed" with very powerful fan, though.
Modding the chassis legs for E34 540 radiator is not too bad job.

Hi guys, is there a reason why you use the e36 m3 rad over the 328 ones? Looked on realoem and it says they're the same size. Don't know if there's anynprice difference? Just curious as I've been offered a 328 rad cheap...
Cheers Chris.

Thanks that is perfect, any idea where i can get hold of one?
Cheers.
