Wow derail. Ziptie won't work very well as it'll leave a little portion of the circumference (where it passes through itself) without any seal, which I think is the main problem with that little useless clamp.

why not just get a new stock radiator? E30s don't really have the problems of cracking end tanks like the E36. a behr was like $100 when I got mine.IG: deniso_nsi Leave me feedback here

then you have to deal with the poor fitment issues. What's the real benefit of the mishimoto radiator? looks? is anyone really having cooling issues with the stock radiator? how many E30s still have the original 20+ year old radiator and haven't had a problem with a broken end tank? 90% of them?

I'm curious as to the necessity of the Mishimotos as well. Copper/brass is better at cooling than aluminum, so it's mainly for looks, IMO.

There are several guys here that rock mishimoto radiators and said that it runs cooler than the factory one.
My concern is keeping the temps cool when I'm:
-In traffic running the a/c
-At the track on a hot day

I got mine new off ebay for 200 shipped and some of the BEST welds I have seen. Just gorgeous.
I would have asked for a refund or a swap if it was like the pictures you posted.Last edited by F34R; 07-07-2010, 03:45 PM.~ Puch Cafe. ~ Do business? feedback ~ Check out my leather company ~

As mentioned above, they are known to keep temps down better than the factory units. I was under the impression the factory units were aluminum as well unless they're just dipped in silver?
