1990 535i vs 1994 530i

Hey guys, im wondering if the radiator from the 535 is compatible with the v8 in the 530. they physically look different but if i can get it mounted and the hoses to fit, would there be cooling issues? is it even possible?

A new Nissens Radiator is $219 from BMA - Why mess around ?

cuz a friend of mine gave me his old radiator for free when he parted out his 535. free beats 220 :) . i was just wondering if it would work. im eventually going to goto an intercooler when i turbo but until then i need soemthing without a hole in it :)

Intercooler? Turbo? What does that have to do with the radiator?

It'll fit, but I'd stick to the 530 radiator.

when i decide to install the turbo i will be upgrading to a larger radiator as well as an intercooler. my question is in regards to a temporary solution. sorry about the confusion. what would be some of the negatives to using the 535 radiator on the v8. id imagine the |6's use less coolant, so would it effectily cool the v8? can you explain your stance please?

if the hoses hook up your good to go.

should work if the tranny cooling works for your set up, there was a couple different styles on 530s, the rad will work
