Title: 6Cyl/4Cyl radiator differences?
Post by: IanBowers on June 01, 2008, 06:12:25 PM

I noticed the BMW running at the middle line lately, so I popped the hood and I saw that the hose that goes on the radiator was really loose, then I realized the plastic extension piece that the hose clamps onto was broken in half.

How much do they cost in general, and are there differences between the M20/m42 radiators?

Thanks in advance,
Ian.

Nevermind, Answered my own question. It looks like its 185$ on Pelican, you guys know of anywhere cheaper?

Thanks,
Ian.

Not trying to promote anything, but I've always had goodluck with Erick over at KOPerformance.com, they have it listed as $179 shipped. But it shouldn't be too hard to find someone parting a M42 car, check around on e30tech and r3v, they unlike us, love to tear them apart and sell them as scrap.

I have an extra M42 radiator in the back yard.  It could use some cleanup and a good flush, but it had no leaks when I pulled it from a car I wrecked a few years ago.  Name a price (and of course shipping is charged as well) and it is all yours.  Gimme your zip code if interested so I can quote you the shipping.  Feel free to low-ball me on the price lol, this junk has to go.
