My 84 318i needs a new heater core. The best deal i could find for one is 190 bucks. No aftermarket company seems to make them anymore. A heater core is a heater core so i'm wondering: Has anyone ever used a heater core out of another car and plummed it in. The core would have to have the same or similar dimensions so that it would slide into the box. I'm pretty desperate and dont want to spend more on the heater core then I did on the car. Help is greatly appreciated Thanks.

I live in NH and its about 20 degrees outside right now. I believe my heater core is leaking because when I took the heater core out, there was coolant in the slot where the heater core slides in. The coolant gets pushed through the vents which leads me to believe that it is in fact the core. I need a heater core because I do live in new england, but I dont want to pay 190 bucks for one. i was wondering if a nyone knew of any other heater cores of the same dimensions that I could retrofit. I'm suprised no one has done this yet as it seems like it would be pretty easy.65k 325i Automatic
