I am replacing them but I have one which came in the "kit" which I cannot find a place for. It is about 6 inches long with two caps on the end. I have replaced the lower and upper radiator hoses, the long one that goes through the distributor area, the T line to the coolant recovery and heater, the two to the thermostat from the throttle fixture, the short stubby one at the top of the thermostat, and finally the other one against the firewall. -Kevin ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Feb 2005 11:18:01 -0500 (EST) From: Mark Andy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Subject: cheap e36 aftermarket steering wheel recommendations? Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Howdy, I'm setting up our '93 325is for track day duty and would love to get some recommendations for inexpensive steering wheels. Primary goal is to eliminate the airbag, secondary goal is to not have it look like I just unbolted the airbag and have a steering wheel I like the feel of. :-) As I understand it, I'll need a steering wheel and then also a hub. The hub can be quick release or not (I'd prefer quick release, but only if it doesn't cost a bunch of money... I'll have just a rollbar in the car now but may at some point have a cage w/door bars where I'll want a quick release). Anything else I'll need? How about horn functions? The car is still used on the street as well. Cheaper is _way_ better. I'd appreciate any "been there, done that" advice. Thanks!

Can someone with some product cross-selling knowledge tell me if these two part numbers are the same physical radiator? A gentleman that was sold the wrong radiator for his 1995 530i He has BMW part number (17 11 1 702 453) which is for a 1994 540i external oil cooler. I have a 1995 540ia which needs a part number (17 11 2 242 138). HALF of the parts websites want to sell me the same radiator for either car, the dealer offers me no useful info (typical). I could go to the actual dealership and have him show me the radiators for the two part numbers above and see if they're the same, but I'd rather not. Anyone?

They are distinctly individual parts. 17 11 1 702 453, radiator with integral transmission cooler, E34 530iA from 9/93 production. E34 530i/5spd from 6/94 production. E34 530iT from 9/93 production. 17 11 2 242 138, radiator without transmission oil cooler. E34 530i/5spd up to 6/94, All E34 540iA and 540i/6spd, All E32 740i/iL and 850CSi. Not sure why the late 530i/5spd would use a radiator with an oil cooler, but one could assume that it is interchangeable with the 138 unit. The radiators are completely interchangeable in physical fit, so if you don't need an oil cooler, you can still use the 453. If you do need one, you can't use the 138. Why does this person feel that the 453 is for external trans cooler.

It is radiator for a EURO 1994 540i without a/c (not for any US E34s 540i just to be clear). It is also the radiator for the 530i with auto tranny produced from 9/93 and manual tranny cars produced from 6/94. It appears it is the correct radiator for his 1995 530i in my opinion. Why do you say that it is wrong? > I have a 1995 540ia which needs a part number (17 > 11 2 242 138). Yep, that appears correct. It is also the radiator for the 530i manual tranny cars produced up to 6/94... :-) > HALF of the parts websites want to sell me the > same radiator for either car, > the dealer offers me no useful info (typical).

Well, if I was to hazard a guess, the two BMW radiators above aren't necessarily interchangeable (or BMW likely would have done that to reduce the number of parts in their system). But, the aftermarket has possibly made the same radiator for both applications or they don't know their own parts very well. When I looked at one aftermarket source, the part numbers were different for the two models you mentioned though (G1000-38785 versus G1000-38786 ).

My 1995 540ia has a seperate oil cooling system. So I could, in theory, buy it and install it in my car and just opt not to use the oil cooling portion of the radiator. It's gathering dust on the guy's floor and is making me a reasonable deal, so I'm very tempted.

The hub is different first off (and then the offset if different as well by ~20mm but this is irrelevant due to the hub issue).
