The brazed 3-row core profile provides superior surface area and higher fluid volume over standard units, preventing heat soak under spirited driving or track conditions. Designed specifically for manual transmissions, it omits internal transmission oil cooler passages to match OEM plumbing accurately. It features an integrated brass petcock for service drain intervals and mounts directly to OEM chassis positions without drilling or bracket modifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 x 3-Row AA5052 Aluminum Crossflow Radiator with Integrated Brass Petcock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; min-width: 300px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e1991-2000 BMW 3 Series,Z3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eM42, M44 \/ E36, E36\/7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e138 hp \/ 133 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e17111723536, 17111723990, 17111728905, 17111728906, 1247145, 1469176, 1723990, 1728905, 1728907, 17111247145, 17111469176, 17111712997, 17111719263, 17101247145, 17111728907\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1991-1995 BMW 318i 1.8L L4 (Manual Transmission)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1996-1999 BMW 318i 1.9L L4 (Manual Transmission)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1991-1995 BMW 318is 1.8L L4 (Manual Transmission)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1996-1999 BMW 318is 1.9L L4 (Manual Transmission)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1995 BMW 318ti 1.8L L4 (Manual Transmission)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1996-1999 BMW 318ti 1.9L L4 (Manual Transmission)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1996-2000 BMW Z3 1.9L L4 (Manual Transmission)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the E36 3 Series,Z3?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 1991-2000 BMW 3 Series,Z3 equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003eM42\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eM44\u003c\/strong\u003e engines. \u003cstrong\u003eNote: This unit is engineered solely for manual transmission models and does not fit automatic variants or six-cylinder models.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I need to bleed the system after installation?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, you must refill the core with BMW-approved coolant and completely bleed air from the cooling circuit prior to driving to prevent air locks and localized engine hot spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe BMW Precision Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned to satisfy stringent European performance criteria, this all-aluminum component guarantees bolt-on alignment, preserves OE operating pressures, and ensures flawless reliability without CEL triggers or clearance compromises.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67901490364664,"sku":"DS-EN4AGXE4C","price":214.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/radiator-for-bmw-318i-318is-318ti-z3-1991-2000-1-8l-1-9l-manual-1.jpg?v=1793337371","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/es\/products\/radiator-for-bmw-318i-318is-318ti-z3-1991-2000-1-8l-1-9l-manual","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
