KOYORAD Racing Radiator - BMW 3 Series (E46) - Six-Cylinder Manual
KOYORAD's VH-series racing radiator replaces the E46's factory radiator, whose plastic end tanks are a well-known weak point with age, with an all-aluminium unit built around a 36mm, two-row core. It swaps for factory radiator 17 11 9 071 518, takes the factory hoses and is built to the original footprint.
It suits the six-cylinder BMW 3 Series (E46) with a manual gearbox and the M52TU or M54 engine: the 320i, 323i, 325i, 328i and 330i sedans and wagons, the matching Ci coupes and convertibles, and the 325ti compact.
Note: Manual transmission only. Not for the M3 or the four-cylinder 316ti, 318i and 318ti. Installation by a professional is recommended.
