I have removed the AR Design aluminum radiator again from my car due to leaks, though.

oh damn, what happend exactly Marcel?

does anyone have a clear picture of how it is mounted on the fan? when i looked under my car, i saw only 1 screw. however that one screw isn't actually attached to anything.
I risk my heat exchanger falling off my car.

Seems there are two leaks at the rear side mesh of the radiator. Pressure test is currently inconclusive as my garage doesn't have any means of heating it properly. But when it was installed, coolant was coming out on the backside of it. After only a few thousand miles on it (had it in since September last year).

I took it off again and replaced it with the stock radiator.

I will post a few photos when I have more time to upload them. Due to the very restricted space in the engine bay it's hard to see, but the leaking coolant is very well visible.

shit damn, you payed alot on that radiator and now it is into the garbage.

I wonder how much you just payed for modification and for shipping on that radiator alone Marcel?

Seriously that's sad to see for international users and my self included who are paying tons of $$ for shipping, sometimes x2 the product price JUST SHIPPING, and getting a shitty quality product.

Good luck with your future orders and what I learned is to read 10000+ feedback on any product before buying it.

A B&M 70264 or 70268 in the driver's side duct should work well. I think at those HP numbers, a larger more efficient radiator will be required also.

Sir,
I'm looking into installing this kit into my 335I. I have the ar design oil cooler retrofitted on there. I was wondering how I can tap into my OEM trans cooling lines?

[riverol]

1. Won't an ATF cooler mount in the driver side wheel well, like OEM engine oil cooler but driver side?

2. Where would the ECS ATF cooler with the Mishimoto electric fan mount?

3. Would that electric fan be effective in traffic, but not at speed when there is plenty of air flow?
