Nobody drives those things anyway. Too busy showing off their race quality radiators.

Beginning in late 1991 CARB began requiring all cars sold in California to both meet tighter emissions regulations and have diagnostic capabilities. Raising operating temps made for a more complete burn of the fuel/less emissions, hence the steps from 71-80 degree thermostats in the e30 to 88-92 degree thermostats in the e36. The plastic components could handle the 80 degree heat cycling fine, but after the bump in operating temps the failures began occurred.

I picked up the Mishimoto after the brand new M42 radiator I got for the swap (early model rad does not work with M50) shit the bed at the endtanks. It was admittedly probably my fault, but I didn't want to deal with/worry about flimsy plastic endtanks while working under the hood, so I got a Mishi E36 rad.
Not that it matters.paint sucks
