    Distance between frame rails at radiator

    If anyone has a moment to measure the distance between the frame rails, I'd appreciate it. I would measure on my own car but it is current inaccessible to me, (locked in a friend's shop).

    I'm trying to figure out how much room I have for my radiator. Thanks.

    Think e28 535i radiator width wise. e34 radiator is too wide.
