Per expert feedback, sale of this radiator is a bad idea. Sale cancelled. Thanks for the interest/feedback.

I don't know if its a good idea for me to offer this for sale. This radiator has 1,000 miles on it. 1000 miles after the install, my fan blew up at idle causing damage to the radiator. The radiator did not leak. I'm not enough of a radiator expert to know if its a good idea to use this radiator. Personally, I pulled the radiator and bought a new one for my car.

Radiator cost $300 plus shipping. If its not worth $80 I'll just throw it away, so no low ball offers.

PM for high res pics if interested.

The S54 radiator has increased cooling capacity verses the stock E36 M3 radiator. This is a direct fit replacement for the OEM radiator in E36 M3's. I've now installed two myself without any undue hassle.

I'll provide an ebay user name to check my buy/sell history. If seriously interested, let's discuss some reasonable refund policy if this radiator is DOA.

let me talk to my race shop about this. If they deem the damage negligible, I'll take it. I'm in ZIP 83835 if you could give me a shipping quote. I'll get back to you later today . . .

Yes, different pics, different damage.

The first pic is of the upper left side of the radiator.
2nd pic is lower right side.

If the general conclusion is radiator is non-usable, I'll cancel the sale and throw it away.

Does the S54 radiator use plastic necks that crack and break like the S50/52?

Yes, good old BMW OEM plastic.

The nays are taking it ... I really don't want to sell anyone a bum radiator.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to cancel this sale.
