    Anyone using the BIG Mishimoto Radiator?

    Does anyone here have this one yet? You can find them online for under $300 shipped. It says it has a 2.4" core and the normal one is only 1.57". I think it should fit fine as some people still run a puller fan (no way a puller fan would fit with this though). I will probably order it and if I have fitment issues I will just put it on my ls1 E36.

    As an ideal upgrade to the stock BMW radiator, the Mishimoto BMW Z3 X-Line aluminum radiator will give your BMW a cooler engine that runs more efficiently, boost engine functions and prevent your car from overheating.

    An ideal upgrade for the brittle stock BMW radiator, the Mishimoto E30/E36 Performance Aluminum Radiator provides your vehicle with enhanced reliability and improved cooling efficiency. BMWs are known to have frequent cooling-related failures due to the use of numerous plastic components throughout the system. A simple coolant leak can result in overheating, accelerated engine wear, or head gasket failure. Whether you have a daily-driven E36 M3 or an M20 spinning a large turbocharger, this E30 and E36 radiator provides ideal temperatures on and off the track. Most people overlook the importance of installing an upgraded radiator in their vehicle. Along with providing increased coolant capacity, this BMW radiator improves heat dissipation, which is beneficial for both stock and modified applications. The Mishimoto E30/E36 Performance Aluminum Radiator is manufactured using durable aircraft-quality aluminum end tanks, precision TIG-welded to an efficient brazed aluminum core. The inlet and outlets provide precise leak-free connections, and all factory overflow and temperature sensor ports are present on the Mishimoto E30 and E36 radiator for use with stock sensors and hoses. This BMW radiator also includes a M16 x 1.5 Magnetic Oil Drain Plug with dowty seal, which effectively removes metal fragments circulating in the cooling system. The Mishimoto BMW Performance Aluminum Radiator incorporates mounting points for the factory external automatic transmission cooler, and it is a direct bolt-on fit for all 6-cylinder E30/E36 models from 1988 to 1991. As with all our BMW parts, this aluminum BMW radiator includes the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty, ensuring superior product quality and craftsmanship.

      If it's the same as the Z3M 3 core unit yes it fits.

        I found another thread that has a lot more info on it. This thing should provide plenty of cooling for M5x's.

            That's my car in the pictures and that radiator is an outstanding piece, especially for the money. Everyone who has a swapped E30 should have one, except for the S38 gang, as I don't think it will fit. It's well made and cools the M60B44 V8 with a pusher electric fan out front with no problems. I just saw the post and thought I'd add my

              This is awesome! The smaller version works well but I love the overkill factor of this. Must.....have....nao

                    I'm in need of some extra cooling maybe we should attempt to get a GB going on these. I had been considering the Z3M unit but don't want to deal with plastic end tanks.

                      Garey, can you measure the depth? I'm currently running the M42 rad because I had to buy one just before I swapped.

                      I was thinking of the Mishimoto or the Z3M rad when I upgrade, but there is absolutely no way I can fit either with the Spal puller, I'd have to switch to a pusher.

                      But anyway, I'd like to know the measurement to mock things up at some point. Thanks in advance.

                          I am running the E36 M3 dual core Mishimoto radiator and its great. I thought about going with the Z3M triple core but got my dual core for a excellent price so opted out. Definitely is a excellent choice.
