M54 > E36 cooling system question

[kenndoggy]

Quick question - what radiator do you use doing an M54 into an E36? Do you use the E36 or E46 radiator, or something different? I assume E46, if it even fits, due to the radiator outlet temp sensor but idk?

I imagine you could use E36 radiator with Z3 hoses. And if you run the Z3 flash, the DME won't care about the outlet temp sensor.

Derp. I have no idea why I forgot about late model Z3 stuff. Thats absolutely what we'll do. I'll go find an MS43 Z3 engine harness too, instead of trying to mod an E39 engine harness Thanks!
