no, but the one from 1988 e30 325 will. you can pick one up for $10 shipped

Interesting.

Is the E30 radiator all alum?

Also came across this "direct fit" aluminum radiator

Proliance Ready Rad 432524 $339.95

Also, why would put a used radiator on your car?
The cooling systems on these cars are iffy at best.
Plus, the Behr replacement radiators are not that expensive.
It think they are around $120...
Look at www.EACtuning.com (http://www.EACtuning.com) for parts.

The e36 radiator will not fit. If you want a new one let me know. I can have it for you same day since your local.
