BMW E30 M3 Cooling Systems

The BMW E30 M3 is considered to be one of the best drivers cars ever made. This timeless classic is truly a joy to drive and it’s not uncommon to see them out cruising or on the track. Like most production vehicles, the E30 M3 didn’t come equipped from the factory with sufficient cooling capabilities to cope with hard or prolonged performance driving. We have designed a full line of E30 M3 cooling options to help you get the most out of your Bavarian classic.

1986-1993 BMW E30 M3 (S14)*
1985-1987 (up to 09/87) BMW E30 325 w/ Factory Oil Cooler*
1988-1993 BMW E30 325 w/ Factory Oil Cooler*
1984-1993 BMW E30 3-Series w/o Factory Oil Cooler*

*Fitment NoteS:

1986-1993 BMW E30 M3 (S14)
The long factory oil hard line will not be able to use support brackets on the back of the radiator. This is due to the adapter fittings pushing the lines out about a ½” from factory so the brackets won’t line up but the lines will still run to the proper location and can be connected.

1985-1987 (up to 09/87) BMW E30 325 w/ Factory Oil Cooler
Requires custom lines (factory hard line passes over the oil cooler normally but this unit is too tall to run that line over the top).

1988-1993 BMW E30 325 w/ Factory Oil Cooler
Requires custom lines & mounting hardware. E30 Chassis has provisions for OEM mounting hardware. OEM Mounting Hardware part number listed below.

1984-1993 BMW E30 3-Series w/o Factory Oil Cooler
Requires lines, mounting hardware, and sandwich plate (or provision for oil hook up). E30 Chassis has provisions for OEM mounting hardware. OEM Mounting Hardware part numbers listed below.
