Ditch your failure-prone plastic end tanks and increase cooling capacity by 25%—all without modifying your core support or accompanying shrouds. This Performance Triple-Pass Radiator is the ULTIMATE cooling system upgrade for your S54-equipped BMW!
The E46 M3 is a masterclass in German engineering. Harboring six independent throttle bodies, infinitely variable dual-VANOS, and an 8,000 RPM redline, the S54 is practically a racing engine for the road. Unfortunately, the engine's motorsport pedigree didn't quite make it to the cooling system. The OEM radiator, while superior to its non-M counterpart, struggles to keep coolant temperature in check under sustained high-RPM conditions. Heat soak, elevated operating temperatures, and component fatigue are all too familiar to M3 owners who track their S54 regularly.
To solve this problem, we teamed up with CSF Race, a global leader in high-performance cooling solutions with over five decades of industry experience. Together, we developed the CSFxTurner Triple-Pass Radiator: a high-performance, no-compromise solution built to meet the cooling demands of track-day warriors.
Part Design:
CSF-Exclusive "B-Tube" Technology Unlike conventional "O-tube" designs, CSF’s patented B-tube structure increases wall strength while creating a more efficient flow path. This alone accounts for a 15% increase in cooling capacity over an OE "o-tube" radiator! Triple-Pass Core Design As the name suggests, this unique structure forces coolant through the core three times before exit, resulting in a substantial temperature delta across the radiator core. Two-Row Compact Structure This radiator was designed with precise fitment in mind. While total tube count and size are increased, the overall radiator dimensions stay the same as OE, ensuring a drop-in fit with zero modifications required. 25% Increase in Cooling Capacity All of the above design features translate to a massive 25% cooling increase over the stock radiator! Features & Performance Benefits:
Direct-fit upgrade—no modifications required! Accepts all OEM attachments via CNC-machined "Quick-Connect" hose ends and accessory mounting provisions TIG-welded aluminum construction provides increased durability An all-aluminum drain plug replaces the weak OE plastic unit, ensuring seamless functionality for the life of the radiator Increased cooling efficiency for high-performance and racing use Designed and tested by Turner Motorsport in collaboration with CSF Race
Discover Mishimoto's solution, perfect for both daily drivers seeking a reliable OEM radiator upgrade and dedicated racers requiring a high-performance racing radiator. This high-quality aluminum radiator serves as a crucial cooling system component, offering larger coolant capacity and increased surface area for superior heat dissipation compared to OEM plastic.
The aluminum construction ensures enhanced durability, backed by Mishimoto's lifetime warranty, potentially making this radiator your last purchase!

Mishimoto E46 Aluminum Radiator features -
Mishimoto radiators address all of the defects of the stock E46 radiator in a well-engineered and price-competitive direct replacement unit. The Mishimoto radiator is an all aluminum design that replaces the factory plastic and aluminum stock radiator. The stock plastic end tanks are notorious for cracking and leaks whereas the Mishimoto has aluminum end tanks that will never fail. Mishimoto can also build 30% more coolant capacity into the a radiator that fits in the original location with no modifications. More coolant volume means the fluid is not heat soaked for as long (less super heated fluid circulating through the engine). For a direct replacement performance radiator, the Mishimoto is hard to beat!
Mishimoto was established in 2003 as a supplier of cooling components for drift and rally cars. Their radiators and intercoolers soon found a strong following in the hyper competitive drift scene where high horsepower and prolonged high revs dictate the need for durable and robust cooling solutions. The catchy Mishimoto name is a combination of the name of the founder's family pet - Mishi - and "moto". All products are designed and tested in the USA using state-of-the-art CAD tools and prototyping and with continuous evolution of product design. Mishimoto is so dedicated to quality that they offer a limited lifetime warranty and accident forgiveness.
Radiators for manual and automatic transmissions are different. Choose the one correct for your model from the options below.
