Hello! I am new on this channel. I am searching for some informations because I am a "beginner". So I am 17 yo and I recently bought an e30 and an e46 m52b28tu for finishing this summer. I know about the oil bay swap but the main problems and questions are about the radiator because I need to make a long trip after I finish it (1350 miles/2200km) from my grandparent's home to my home and I don't think the 318is radiator is a good option it will clearly overheat in this long trip I think. My 2nd question is about the engine arms wich arms I need to use. Please if you can help me with those questions I will be very grateful! I really need help. Thank you! Also good content and lovely dog🥰!

Hey Speed Hunter, thanks for watching and joining in. For the radiator, a lot of people use the aluminium E36 "race" radiators that are readily available on eBay. They apparently bolt in and work well with a decent electric fan or two. The engine mounts you need are E36 2.5/2.8 aluminium mount arms. I'm using those with some 68mm high rubber engine mounts. The e34 M5 rubber mounts apparently work well but I'm planning on using E36 polyurethane mounts. There is a wealth of good information at the following link and also on E30 zone and rv3.... www.garagistic.com/pages/e30-dohc-swap-basics-m50-m52-m52-and-s50
