Its got the A/C sensor on it, quite a deep one, I'm not surprised it wouldn't fit an E30

Best thing to do would be to post up the measurements, and then compare those with the known dimensions of radiators on RealOEM.

Same rad as mine. It's from something similar to an e39 528. I've had to channel my chassis legs to make it fit.
