Sick e30. Looks great. Would like to see it in person. You should come down to Guten Parts on the 25th.

Planning on going to G-fest as of now. Refinishing a original Alpina B6 steering wheel right now so I can add even more to the sickness.

Really? Hmm have to check that out. As far as the Radiator it has been perfect. I run a 16" electric fan wired directly to the aux fan and couple that with BMW coolant/water wetter/ low thermo and switch and I have absolutly no problems even in hellish heat and giving it a good romping.

That's good to hear. I might bite the bullet and purchase one as well, my nearly new M42 radiator isn't taking too well to NY heat :(

Is it an E30 rad or an E36 one?

[sharky]

Its a E36 one, fit was great and for the price I really cant complain. Im surprised the M42 one isnt cutting it, what are you running for therostat and fan? I have heard they handle it just fine.

I'm running the lower temp rad switch but a factory t-stat. I more comfortable running the factory t-stat because the car warms up to operating temp whereas the lower t-stat will constantly see higher temps. I ran the lower t-stat when I completed the swap and the car would warm up in traffic regardless.

The car can handle heat just fine, its just that when I turn the A/C it starts to creep up and BOTH fans are already on so there's no stopping the rising temps except turning off the A/C. The inline-6 rad's have more cooling capacity and I have a good feeling this will solve my over-heating problems!!

Sorry for the o/t!!

Ah, I dont have my AC hooked up yet, this may disperse the heat better so hopefully that will solve your problem.
