Hey,

Does anyone know where I can get a Behr rad the cheapest? by cheapest I mean around $150 or less. Also will a 540 radiator fit? They look the same and I was just wondering.

15 looks and no answers?

M30 autos need the rad based heat exchanger, which the 540 radiator doesn't have....I ran a 540 radiator with an external trans cooler for a while when my 535 was an automatic. Worked fine, but it would've been easier to get the proper rad. Still using a 540 rad in my converted 535, only issue is the fan shroud and headlight back plates.

autohaus wants ~$200.....too much for a 20 yr old car IMHO.

Did they sell you an OEM radiator? I am only looking to do this once.

And yes Mike, $200 is too much when the 540i radiator costs less!!!:mad
