Is it possible to fit an E36 radiator into a e30? if so then is it alot to modify? will it fit snug without any hassle. The radiator im talking about is the one with the bottle attached to the side....

Aren't any. If anything, the coolant ends are slightly larger? .5 - 1 mm? Not much of a difference other than the coolant reservoir on radiator itself. They both seem equal but its more of personal preference with the reservoir.

thanks, do u have it on your 332? do u have any pics, i have the old radiator, the one with the reservoir on the right hand side and my radiator screws into the chassis unlike the later models that have a bracket to hold it. What do i need to fit the e36 radiator to fir into mine....
what about the bottom mounts on the body, do they match up with the e36 ones?
i also prefer having the reservoir on the radiator itself

If you have an early E30, you'll need to fab up some simple mounts like I did on the bottom of the radiator. The later E30's have provisions for lower side mounts like the E36.

Those might work alright. You may find they end up being a little short, but once you get the radiator in place you'll be able to tell quickly.-Brandon

thanks, do you have this radiator in your car? if so please post some pics
