Alu radiator for S50B32

[kovrol]

Is there any full aluminium radiator exists for S50B32? I've found only for US M3s, like mishimoto and fludyne.....
I found only this, but the price is sick :(

The Mishimoto, works perfect in EURO engine.. so... what is the problem?

The mishimoto seems to be the popular choice.

Before you buy a Mishimoto radiator do a little research... There is a thread floating around in the US section with people complaining about failures and leaks.
Also if you do a general google search quiet a few popular car forums have complaint threads related to mishimoto's aluminum radiators.

I think the one you put up is a real good one or so I've heard, although bimmerworld sells the one specifically for the e36 M3 euro for quite a bit less

Having lifetime warranty, what is the problem? :eek:

I somehow missed your bit on the alum rad,

The guarantee is great and wonderful, but the argument is, a faulty radiator can quickly lead to bigger issues, regardless if a replacement is free.

Having said that, I've had a Mishimoto on my 88 M3 for close to four years. No problems, nice welds, etc.

I can't address how the oil cooler mounts on the E36 M3.

I understand.

I have one, and no problem here yet.

I had a mishi rad in my type r before. The drain plug o ring leaked so I used a sealer to seal it permanently and I never had a problem again. Would definately buy one again but seal up the drain plug right away.

Up to Top.
Going to buy a radiator under a budget. OEM Hella or Noname ebay Alu (like this) (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HIGH-PERFORMANCE-ALUMINUM-ALLOY-RADIATOR-16-160W-FAN-BMW-E36-M3-Z3-325TD-/110980025930?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item19d6ecce4a) or S52 Mishimoto? Also who has heard about Direnza (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DIRENZA-BMW-E36-M3-Z3-3-2-3-0-97-03-HIGH-FLOW-ALUMINIUM-ALLOY-RACE-RADIATOR-RAD-/181185924752?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a2f85ce90)?
Ebay shows results for Z3 from 99 to 02, however 01-02 should be a different radiator for S54.
