Product details
OVERVIEW
The N55 runs hot once it's tuned, and the factory radiator in the M235i, M2, 335i and 435i is sized for stock power. On a track day or in summer traffic coolant temperatures climb and the car starts to protect itself. The do88 WC-290 is a self-developed aluminum radiator that drops in using every factory bracket, the AC condenser, fan shroud and hoses.
It has 23 percent more core volume and 43 percent more coolant capacity than the factory radiator, with a 42 mm two-row core, multi-louvered fins and CNC-machined quick-connect hose fittings. It is for cars with an automatic (or DCT) gearbox; on the 335i and 435i it fits M Sport cars only.
