    Need help deciding on radiator

    I've got a 1990 325i and recently my radiator cracked on me.. I'm looking for a new one and reading online that e36 radiators fit in e30s with now modifications. I'm completely new to bimmers and skeptical about ordering one later to find out it doesn't fit properly. Can someone tell me which ones will fit properly? Also is there any advantage to getting one designed for an e36?

    Only the first of those 3 will work. The E36 325/M3 radiator is exactly same as the 88+ E30 325 radiator. The E30 M3 radiator in links 2 and 3 will not work correctly with the 325's hose routing.

      I know you could have replied with a sarcastic comment telling me to search but you didn't. Thanks, really appreciate it.
