Engine radiator MISHIMOTO or OEM BMW

When this happened to me, I had to just bite the bullet and get the mishimoto radiator. Now my Z runs slightly on the cooler side and it’s amazing.

Mishimoto radiator, all under trays intact, vented carbon hood, dual rotary performance oil cooler thermostats, and mazdaspeed front bumper. She stayed a steady 205.

I usually Autox and track my rx8. My last event it was 90 outside and after fueling and a run my temp was only 205. I do have an aluminum misimoto radiator

Replaced it with that exact same Mishimoto rad and have had zero issues with the fitment or durability for 10+ years and 60k miles later. I believe I saved ~$600 or so by not pursuing OEM replacement.

I got the mishi rad and racing thermo in mine for vegas. Love it, no issues thus far after 2 years.

I do have the Mishimoto triple pass rad but it was similar with the stock one.

Mishimoto is okay but it's fucking massive and requires more disassembly of the front end of the car to stuff it in there.

bmw makes a sad excuse of a cooling system with brittle plastic, sad plastic joins and a pathetic plastic and metal radiator, like that's gonna last

I bought a mishi three weeks ago, it arrived a week later, leaking. Two weeks later, mishi gave me a new one for free. Guess what.. it’s leaking too, from the welds at the neck. I gave up and had my buddy seal it up good

I just got a Mishimoto radiator for my V35 couoe, it doesn't fit for shit.
