Bmw e36 mishimoto radiator hoses forum12/25/2022 ![]() ![]() On another forum someone suggest the new Koyo radiator which I think I'll look into as well. I know too much information, I just started to type a response and this all just came out lol. I had a Classic Car company do an appraisal on it before I purchased and basically they had "officially" commented on the report "This car is as perfect as any 1995 can be!." Condition - Showroom New. Other than a small ~ 1 inch scratch on the trunk lid the car is in showroom like condition. The original owner sold to EAG in 2012 which in turn sold to another enthusiast who basically never drove the car and it sat in the garage, thus the only reason why he sold it to me. The only record found was a battery replacement in Apr 2011, so I assume the radiator was updated sometime prior to that. When I inquired about the car and owner, he quickly remember that long term customer and his meticulous ways. Unfortunately the older service data was not available but what I did find out was the first owner was an enthusiast, confirmed by talking to the BMW service rep who actually still works at the dealership it was regularly serviced. When researching the history of the car I had tracked down the original owner dealership where the car had been serviced. I recently purchased the car with a slightly hefty premium as it's an unmolested example. ![]() I'm assuming it was done sometime before 2011, maybe even several years before then. I was unsuccessful in tracking records for the update. Unfortunately I'm not sure exactly when it was updated. The cooling system was updated by the original owner before selling in 2012. Thus the reason I'd like to overhaul and upgrade this supposed Achilles Heal in the e36. Your answer may depend on how long you plan to keep the car if it's beyond another 50k and the Turner radiator isn't that much more expensive than two oem radiators, it might well be worth it, because it would likely last about as long as a stock radiator should last.Thanks! Yeah, I plan on never getting rid of the car. ↑ I _think_ many suggest just replacing the oem radiator at some sort of preventive-maintenance interval, like every 50k or 60k or 70k, in the hopes of reducing the occurrence of having a plastic radiator end-cap inlet pipe unexpectedly and likely inconveniently, if not necessarily disastrously, snap off. ![]()
