Help needed to Identify BMW radiator - e21?

Recommended Posts

Trying to work out what this radiator is from. I originally bought it many years ago as a replacement for my 02, but it doesn't really line up at all. I could cut the feet down, but still not sure there will be space for the bottom hose.

The tabs on the radiator are on the front, attaching to the nose, but wont sit flush, I would need some 1/4" spacers.

Overall it measures 45.5cm (17 15/16") wide, 50cm (19 3/4") high.

thats what i thought, but when I've seen others (such as in the link below) they don't match. the onlt difference is mine has its mounting tabs on the front of the radiator, not the back (closest to the engine).

Those channels wouldn't help, my mounting holes on the radiator don't line up at all with the body regardless of how I position the radiator.

I would need to make a 10mm space, the distance from the radiator tabs to the body, and drill new holes in the body.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
