Right my radiator is really pissing me off when I did the conversion I had a shitty cheap Eurocarparts rad from a 328i so I fitted it and the car runs great but it leaks a bit and the cap dosent seal so I'm going to change it, I've got a s50 rad I can use that's in great condition and was going to fit that with the original m20 expansion tank just wondered if anyone has fitted one? Will it go streight in or will I have to buy new pipes ect!!!

You will need an S50 top hose for the rad and possibly a different hose for the expansion tank

Wow well worth the effort to fit as my car runs the temp soo much better than with the 328i rad even when driven hard it's miles better,
