For 1985 it should look like this:
Cooling system water hose

But on my car, the entire cooling system was installed with an E34 M20B25. Including a radiator with a built-in expansion tank. Its lower fastening was self-made. Now I have the stock restyling mount installed, and accordingly, the radiator will be fixed with the stock mount. The radiator will be larger, for the air conditioner. So I see no point in going back to the 1985 cooling system. Moreover, even visually, that expansion tank looks too archaic for me. And I can't install the restyling expansion tank, because another interesting tank already stands in that place, but more on that later.
Finally, all the little things have arrived, and you can continue assembling the engine.

So, the M20B25 E30 cooling system is similar to the M20B25 E34. Maybe someone will say that this is a "kolkhoz", but I will say that this is an "upgrade"! :)

Part No. 17 - bandage 120MM (61 13 1 379 580) - 2 pcs. Plastic strap for the hose (#13) of the interior heater. It is inserted into the holes on the left spar of the restyling body. My body does not have these holes, so this part is not used in my case. Instead of them, I will use a metal bracket for the restyled body.
Detail No. 5 on the first diagram for 1985 - bracket (11 53 1 279 946) - 1 pc.

Part No. 22 - hose holder (12 51 1 309 471) - 1 pc. Plastic clamp for interior heater hoses. For restyling E30.

I installed the metal tube (#8) earlier, along with the water pump pulley.

By the way, it was because of its attachment to the pump that the pump itself had to be changed. Because before the restyling, the pump did not have this attachment.

I start installing the hoses with the interior heater hoses.
By the way, in the ETK section on heating and air conditioning, there is a separate section on these hoses.
Additional water pump / water hose


Part No. 1 - return hose (11 53 1 720 524) - 1 pc. Return from the interior heater. This hose is from the E34.
Part No. 2 - supply hose (64 21 1 380 527) - 1 pc. Supply to the interior heater. This hose is from E30.
Part #3 - clamp L28-33 (07 12 9 952 113) - 3 pcs.
Part No. 3 - clamp L16-30 (64 21 8 367 179) - 2 pcs.
All other parts for M20B25 are not used.
All hoses are original and in good condition, so I don't see the point in changing them to new Chinese ones that crack after a year... All clamps are also original, some are old, some are new.
So, I start with the interior heater hoses. On the flange of the cylinder head, we install the supply hose to the interior heater radiator.

We lay the T-shaped return hose from the interior heater radiator to the main radiator and thermostat.

We install two plastic clamps (#16) on the metal bracket and fix the hose in them.


The hose will go to the radiator along the left spar.

There it will be fixed with a metal bracket to the spar.


Next, we lay the throttle heating hoses.

We screw them to the throttle flanges.

On the flange of the cylinder block, we install the supply hose for heating the throttle.


We install two plastic clamps (#21) on the metal bracket and fix the hoses in them.

We screw the return hose from the throttle heating to the lower flange of the thermostat.

We fix the hose in a plastic clamp (#21).

So far, I have installed the plastic hose holder (#22) like this - on the oil dipstick tube.

I'm not sure how it should be, but I have no other ideas :) Maybe after installing the engine, that holder can be used to fix the fuel hose... I don't know. I'll see you later.
Let's move on to the main hoses of the cooling system.
Install the hose holder (#3). It is inserted into the hole on the bracket and fixed with a pin.

I already wrote that I laid the wire from the impulse sensor of cylinder 6 together with the wire of the crankshaft position sensor. Well, that's not right! There is a special eyelet for this wire on the slag holder. I had to extract it, then translate it correctly.

Next, we fix it in a rubber shield

And we take it to the bracket.

We install the hose and fix it in the holder.

We screw the hoses to the water pump and tube.

But to the thermostat.

All hoses of the cooling system are installed.

Next, about the engine suspension.
