Upgraded radiator for a early 325

[e30trooper]

Anyone know of any larger radiators that fit ours cars but for a early model?
Im running the stock eta one but my set up is a full I head swap etc etc. I know I can use the 87 325i radiator but since im going to swap it might as well go bigger. Oem or aftermarket.

looks like a 5.0 radiator would work

Why do you feel that you need to upgrade the radiator? On my old 325eS I had the stock early model cooling system and even on 100 degree days with the A/C on I had no issues.

because racecar? I feel like its just to small. The fins are damaged abit also.
Pulling off the mechanical fan due to a bad clutch and going electric. I don't have the OEM condenser fan or condenser due to the PO removing it all. I do plan on giving this car a good beating come the next few months.

Honestly, unless you are boosted and tracking the dog shiz out of your car, the stock clutch fan and radiator are fine. Replace them and don't worry with it. BMW cooling systems didn't go downhill until about 10 years later, haha.

The eta radiator is fine. No need to change it. Its not like ur making significantly more heat now with a headswap.

when it dies a e36 stock or aftermarket unit fits just fine.

I've got the same "old" e radiator on an I swap and the thing stays cool even on a 100Deg track day. As long as everything is functioning properly you don't need to get a larger radiator.
