Originally posted by Mr. Burns View PostI'm currently in the market for a rad to supply a cooling foundation for my m30 swap.
I immediately thought about going Mishimoto due to the descent reviews some members have had with them.
Unfortunately it seems Mishimoto revamped their design on the E36M3 rad making it difficult to work with fitment wise on the e30 (See JGood's review on Product review also)
So, unless I find an EARLY model Mishimoto rad- would you recommend nissens over Behr, Behr over Nissens?
I believe that BMW uses Behr straight from the factory.
thoughts?
JGood was using our Z3M radiator and had an issue with the overflow nipple location. We worked with him to identify the issue, and we sent him a radiator with the appropriately located nipple. Additionally, our product design was modified slightly to provide better fitment in that area of the radiator.
Let us know if we can answer any specific questions about any of our radiator options for the E30.
Thanks

That being said, I put an e36 mishimoto in my e34 and it lasted about a year before it started to leak. Got a replacement one for $35 though (shipping), no questions asked.
Originally posted by FunfGan View PostThe Mishimoto I purchased for my Mini blew after less than a month, then after paying for the warranty replacement I had to wait 3 months before I finally called to find out that it was back ordered for another 3 months...
No refund, apology, discount, nothing at all...
Thanks

That sounds perfect. Where did you source it, if you don't mind?Originally posted by Andy.BWhenever I am about to make a particularly questionable decision regarding a worryingly cheap diy solution, I just ask myself, "What would Ether-D do?"

I only use the Behr for the M42, (tank issues with the E36 everything else)
but the Nissens in the M20 car has been fine.
I agree- the Nissens had casting flash on the in/outlet that might have caused
trouble- so I scraped it off. It works fine otherwise.
tnow, sometimes I just mess with people. It's more entertaining that way. george graves
