Koyo (Koyorad) Performance Radiator – BMW 3 Series E46 (Non-M3) M54 Manual 1999-2005

Application: BMW 3 Series | E46 (non-M3) | M54 | Manual | 1999-2005

Part Type: Performance radiator (36mm core)

Part Number: VH422857


The E46 3 Series is one of the most popular BMW platforms for track days and enthusiast builds, and the M54 six is a sweet, durable engine. Its weak point is the cooling system: the factory plastic-tank radiator is notorious for cracking with age and heat cycles.

Koyorad's VH422857 is a 36mm all-aluminium replacement for the factory radiator in manual non-M3 E46 models with the M54. It is built to the OE footprint and accepts the factory hoses.


Why Koyorad?

  • 36mm Core — High-density core for improved heat transfer over the factory unit.
  • Nocolok Furnace Brazing — All components bonded as one unit for vibration and debris resistance.
  • All-Aluminium Construction — Replaces the factory plastic-tank radiator.
  • OE-Specific Mounting — Built to the factory footprint and retains factory hose positions.
  • Hand-Crafted Heliarc Welds — Individually welded and triple pressure tested.
