Has anyone tried using an e36/M3 Radiator on an e30 m42? Hows the fitment, is it direct drop or what kind of modifications? also does the cooling improve or since it is a larger radiator, will it overcool it?

I think it will be over cooling and you will have no heat

Fits fine. If you have a thermostat in the car you can't over cool it. I've got a Mishimoto E36 radiator in my 318 and it works great. Just have to use a 325i's coolant overflow tank or an aftermarket tank.

So the Mishimoto fits without any drama?

Are you using the stock clutch fan and shrouding?
