Anyone know if its the s52 or s54 z3m radiator that fits?

[Jean]

Pm me as well please.

[FredK]

You're running it in a s54 swap right? How is the temperature looking?

weeeell... it's not running yet. I think it will in 2015, when plutonium is available at every corner drugstore.

I got a new Behr s54 m coupe radiator from Blunt, I haven't installed it yet. It is much thicker, but it seems shorter, by an inch and a half or so. I'm sure the overall volume is larger tho.

I'm waiting on my Mishimoto X-Line Z3M 3 Row to arrive now. I'll get pics of it next to an E36 M3 2 row, for comparison, and in the car when it arrives. Very excited to get this piece of the puzzle in my hands!

No problem... pictures seem to help everyone "visualize" the answer to most questions and we continue to strive for good, accurate information here. It's nice to be a part of the gathering of that information...

Yup...

I am excited to hear and see if it fits without modification.

I am confused as to if the z3m mishimoto radiator has 2 or 3 rows? The website says 2, yet the ones being sold on ebay say 3?

http://www.mishimoto.com/mishimoto-bmw-z3-aluminum-radiator-99-02.html

Row: 2

Rows: 3

Some of the other ebay adds say 2....

Yet their press release says 3 for their x-line rads...

http://www.mishimoto.com/mishimoto-news-x-line-radiators.html

So which one is it?

Knowing seller's capacity for mistakes in their listings on ebay, I would say to trust the Mishimoto press release, stating the X-Line's are 3 row. I have seen the difference in listings on ebay for the same X-Line part number and I would again default to the Mishimoto press release and the X-Line part numbers. Just hook up with Corey at Track One, he'll get you the right one... ask me how I know...

Well if you take a look at mishimoto's website here:

http://www.mishimoto.com/mishimoto-bmw-z3-aluminum-radiator-99-02.html

its says it is a 2 core...

Corey would you know by chance?

[CoreyZ]

I noticed that two, but all of Mishimoto's X Line radiators are 3 row, and on the spreadsheet of product info from the distributor it lists them as Z3 3 Row Radiator, so I think it's safe to assume that's a typo.

It's also 3" thick, like all the other 3 rows, whereas the 2 rows are 2" thick.

But, there'd be no harm in me contacting Mishimoto.

Also, thanks Garey 8)

the older (thinner) mishimoto units can handle a S54 in daily driver format. traffic etc etc is just fine.

any S52/54 radiator will fit right into a early e30: if you get one thick enough you will need to clearance the top bracket, my PWR is about 1.5" thicker than former mishimoto, had to clearance the bracket to make room for the radiator core. otherwise perfect fit.

e34 M60 V8 3000cc in europe sometimes uses the same actual radiator part number as e36m. its shorter than the 4000cc unit so there are matched oem brackets to mount it also.

[CoreyZ]

Corey,

Thanks for the E-mail.

The X line Z3 radiator is in fact only a two row. However, it is much, much thicker than the OEM and the “standard” Z3 radiator we are working on at this time.

Let me know if you have any additional questions.



Thanks,

Well, that's disappointing.

Is it much thicker then the OEM Z3 rad, or is it much thicker then the Z3M rad?
