S50B32 E36 M3 Cooling System

[adavey32]

Apologies for the noob question, cannot find a difinitive answer anywhere.

Are there any differences to be aware of in terms of the S50 Euro vs S52 US cooling system & parts?
Looking to overhaul my cooling system in the near future and wanting to make sure that I dont order the wrong part #'s - as conversion & shipping to AUS is insanely expensive.

For instance, would it be possible to follow the holy grail https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/s...=cooling%20diy
And use for arguments sake https://www.bimmerworld.com/E36-3-Se...-Stage-II.html kit for an S50B32?
If not, where do they differ?

Cheers,

I believe, different radiator, water pump and expansion tank.

Radiator differences.

You won't be able to use the euro expansion tank if you have the SAP and don't want to relocate it.

I always consult Real OEM website for part specific items. The S52 is a different engine, so be careful when ordering parts. Our S50 is Euro Spec not U.S like the S52 is.
