All-aluminum triple-pass performance radiator for the 2001-2006 BMW M3 (E46). The triple-pass flow structure carries coolant across the core three times before exiting for the lowest possible outlet temperatures, over a 2-row 42mm dual core using CSF's exclusive B-Tube technology and 6.5mm-tall multi-louvered fins. It drops in with no modifications and accepts the OEM quick-connect hoses, AC condenser, brackets, and fan shroud. CNC-machined brackets and quick-connect fittings, an all-aluminum race-style drain plug, and a smooth satin finish complete it.
