    Lightbulb E30 318 radiator fit 325i ?

    Hi guys I know the pipe work won't fit or anything, but has one got a 318 I radiator on a 325i as I'm doing an engine swap and wonder if it will run with the 318 radiator so I don't need the seperate tank thanks

    if you mean "will the radiator bolt in?" the answer is yes.

    The 318i radiator won't have the cooling capacity needed for a 325i.

    No e30s, again :(
    the post right above your question says no.

    the m10 318 radiator is a fair amount smaller then the m20 radiator that the 325 use
    No e30s again.
