What radiator are you using? With a late model, many people will use the E36 radiator options, including the MZ3 which seems to be the best of them all.... I wouldnt know because I use a M42 radiator and live in the traffic infested Los Angeles area. With a Spal puller fan operating independently of everything else, it never lets my temps go over halfway. It works pretty hard though at times. Not ideal, but my '84 has a slightly different radiator mounting setup so I cant really use the bigger radiators.Simon

I still have the M42 radiator at my disposal, so I could always try that first if nothing else prevails.

I would figure as long as the reservoir is pressurized after a long drive then it's working. Is that not correct?

Do you have some video?
I want so badly to hear and see how your beast accelarates and goes.

Update: March 26, 2016
Just a quick update on the E30:
We recently moved house, which meant time for the E30 dropped off to zero. In light of this, I thought I'd take the car into to a local shop that knows this engine (and mine in particular since it was rebuilt there a few years ago) to have the remaining issues sorted out. Work performed included:
- Fixing the overcooling/overheating issue
- Replacing rear subframe and trailing arm bushings with poly-bushes
- Fix overfilling issue at all engine temps
- Run a fault code diagnostic
After all was said and done, the car runs beautifully. It pulls much harder throughout the rev range and has a rock solid idle that doesn't burp, splutter, or chortle. It's an absolute blast to drive and I can't wait for the first road trips of the year!
I've also got a new set of wheels coming that will require a bit of a refurb and will allow me to finally fit the BBK I've been sitting on since I started the engine swap.
A couple of recent shots to prove the car still exists:
The Rabbit has also been providing some daily enjoyment. It's amazing what 30HP can feel like when hustled:
Cheeky shot next to this behemoth:
