Engine radiator MISHIMOTO or OEM BMW

I got a Mishimoto with zero issues and fitment was spot on

And don't put the oem radiator in (it sucks). A mishimoto is 2/3 the price, will last longer (it's not made of plastic at the top -- that's why the oem ones fail) and it will actually keep your engine a little cooler.

If u get a mishimoto it won't break again

I like my Mishimoto one. But I have an Auto, and the only one they had for the Baja didn't have the cooler built in, so I had to run an external trans cooler. But it all went easy, even with that. Electric fans and catch tank bolted right up no problem

Exact thing happened to me last year. Replaced with a Mishimoto

It happened to me once at a night time. I just pulled over, stopped the engine and started again after several minutes and everything was OK.

Edit: After reading other's comments, I realized that mine also related to coolant system. Some time after this incident I replaced radiator because of a coolant leak. May be this warning is related to that.

The crap-tastic mishimoto MMRAD-E36-92 that I use these days do come with a lifetime warranty and I send them photos of the leak and they just send me a replacement in a week or so. I have purchased 6 of them and replaced 2 under warranty. The "Z3" raditator won't fit as its too thick, but the Z3 IS and e36 so its confusing.

My mishimoto radiator sprung a leak after 1.5 years in my F150. So good luck.

My first non warranty repair on my B58 540 was a $3k radiator replacement. That was at about 60k miles.

Get a csf or koyorad. Mishimoto isn’t that great
