S52 swap Mishimoto compatibility

Shortly after buying my E34, the radiator started leaking. It was a Behr that was date stamped 3 years old. Several others have had the same issue, at least with E34 radiators.

There is behr radiators made in china and ones made in somewhere in europe. The china made ones are about the half of the price of normal ones. Those are quite shitty indeed. But the oes made in europe last for decades.

This is the E36 radiator I am familiar with. Expansion tank is separate and attached with the fan shroud.

That is the hot climate version (17111723784 / 17111728908). Pretty much same as the s50 version.

This is the normal one with integrated expansion tank from the models with air conditioning. Bolt-on to late model cars. (that other one could be also)

Ah, that's why I've never seen one. They only came in euro M50 cars. Every M50 car I've seen in the US has the "hot climate" version as you called it. Only M42 cars got it in the US.
