This is how I received my wheels & tires when I bought a winter set (thru this list, thanks Suzy!). No problems, no damage.

Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2003 01:30:48 -0400 From: Robert Chay <rchay@mindspring.com> Subject: Re: [E36M3] Subject: Upper Radiator Neck Don - did you check the inside of the radiator neck? Also, when was the last time you changed your coolant? That might have something to do with your overheating issues on the track. When you drain the cooling system or replacing the tstat, housing or waterpump, you have to fill the top tube (coming out of the radiator to the tstat housing) with coolant before you start the car. If you don't, you run the risk of burning out the waterpump because there is no coolant for lubrication after a drain and it takes a while for the coolant to get there. Some guys (I did this once) will put a hose to the radiator while both drain plugs are out to fully flush the system. -Bobby '98 M3 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Chaney" <chaneydon@hotmail.com> > > > I recently purchased a Behr oem replacement from Eurasian and it did not = > have a reinforcement in the upper neck. > > Speaking of radiators, I just changed mine at 73k since I was having = > some overheating issues at the track last year (~3/4 on the water temp = > gauge).
