Anyone get the Mizu radiator?

[zhpnsnv]

Car's going in soon for the complete cooling system update (will be around 88k mi), and I saw the AL Mizu radiator on the ZHP Mafia amazon link. Anyone grab one of these? I sent the link to my friend who works at BMW who said, "If I had an e46, I'd be all over that!"

So, any experience?

Just checked out their website. Doesn't look like they have applications for the M54 motor, only the M3. http://www.mymizu.com/bmwe46alrama.html

Hope that helps.

P.S. Mizu means water in Japanese.

Looks nice and it says it's direct replacement for OEM but I don't see how the expansion tank is supposed to mount to it. Also those connections for the radiator hoses won't connect directly to the BMW hose ends:dunno

Granted, this is from M3forums but there is a negative comment about the Mizu and there is another post about the Mishimoto that is supposed to be OEM fitment and it turned out not to be true.

I'm getting close to the point where I have been thinking about doing mine and I think I will just go with an OEM from BMW or maybe the Behr for a cheaper alternative. Still undecided on that.

Do I think it's worth $1000.00?

No:shifty

No experience with that radiator, I just had my complete cooilng system done earlier this week and we used Behr. Dane found it for $138.00 shipped.
