We are proud to introduce the new Megan high performance aluminum radiator. Anytime an individual introduces their car to a /drifting environment, the temperature of the vehicles engine will skyrocket. One common and effective method of reducing engine temperature is to employ an aluminum radiator.
This is a cost effective upgrade which can ultimately save an engine during competition or spirited driving. Often times, a temperature drop of twenty degrees or more will be noticed when using an aluminum radiator. Also included is a 1.1 BAR radiator cap.

Why Upgrade to the Megan Racing MR-RT-BE36?
The BMW E36 platform is known for its balance and handling, but its factory cooling system is often a weak point — especially in modified or older vehicles. Plastic end tanks tend to crack over time, leading to leaks, overheating, and expensive repairs.
The Megan Racing MR-RT-BE36 Aluminum Radiator solves these issues with its all-metal construction and larger core design. This means:
Cooler operating temperatures during spirited or track driving.
Greater reliability for high-mileage or turbocharged builds.
Improved engine longevity by maintaining consistent thermal control.
It’s a must-have upgrade for any E36 owner who values both performance and dependability.
Installation and Maintenance
Installation is simple and requires no cutting or custom brackets — this is a plug-and-play upgrade for most E36 models. To get the most out of your radiator:
Always flush your old coolant and use fresh, high-quality antifreeze.
Bleed air pockets from the system after installation to prevent overheating.
Periodically inspect hoses and fittings for leaks or wear.
Properly maintained, your Megan Racing MR-RT-BE36 Radiator will deliver years of reliable, efficient cooling.
Final Thoughts
The Megan Racing MR-RT-BE36 Aluminum Radiator combines lightweight construction, superior cooling performance, and exact fitment to give your BMW E36 the reliability it deserves. It’s an essential upgrade for enthusiasts looking to extend engine life, improve performance, and eliminate common OEM radiator issues.
Whether you’re running a weekend track car or simply keeping your classic 3-Series healthy, this radiator provides the peace of mind that your cooling system can handle whatever you throw at it.
