87 radiator setup with m50

05-10-2007, 09:53 PM

From what ive read, people who have pre 88 e30's have to change their radiator setup for the m50 motor, basically because the way you route the hoses(radiator openings are at the opposite ends)??

I dont understand why you cant just use the same pre 88 radiator and alter the way you run the hoses a little different...

---I dont have a problem getting another radiator, im just wondering if it is actually necessary? (Possibly because hose fitment will be alot harder to fit and/or ugly looking)

Please any points of view would be great

Thanks, -Nick

Finding the right hoses will be a pain in the ass compared to getting the right radiator. I have one btw. It's from an auto but will work. $50.00 plus shipping. From an 89i.
The other problem is space.
