I have a Baur M10 webber and the price for a radiator is simply stupid compared to the one I bought for my e46 330 sport (£46 2 years guarantee)
Can I put another rad in without too much hassle as this may not last too long?

I know she`s a 316 M10 and not a 325, but I`m sure it`s not a silly question.

Can't see any problem in fitting an M40 rad. in principle. you'll have to get creative with hoses to accommodate the M10' 'floating' thermostat, and a 'tee' hose will be needed (adapted from M40?) to connect in the header tank.
Fan shroud could be a problem - I've no idea if a M10 fan will be central to the M40 rad, but an electric fan could be used to overcome this if necessary.
