Eric's next upgrade on his E82 BMW 135i was the CSF Radiator and the CSF Intercooler. We put them both in at the same time along with the coolant flush, of course. It took an entire day and we weren't all that pleased with the fit (especially the Intercooler that was marketed as plug-and-play).

Yeah I got to drive it back to his house. It’s fun!
Thanks! I'm doing this soon and this helps. My fan came out easier from the bottom. I might drop the radiator out the bottom too if I can.

To remove the upper radiator hose, use a flathead screwdriver to pry the hose off. Use the plastic radiator support as a fulcrum.

Where did you get the screws from for the intercooler?
Great diy. I’ve got a 335i I’m debating making a race car and I’m researching how to address cooling issues these cars have when raced. Watched several of these vids and yours was the best and most helpful. Did this improve temps? Cheers Ben

+Ben Phillips thank you! Yeah my buddy just replied to someone else today that he did his first event last weekend and the temps were nice and low 😎
Great video! I've used a Reservoir tank - reservoir to bleed the thermostat before, it looks like a brake line bleeder and saves lots of spilled coolant! :

Great video! Disappointing to see the CSF FMIC took so much cutting to get it to fit. :(

I would upgrade the mickey mouse coolant flange that connects to the motor. Very common failure point on these N54 powered cars. Thanks for the video!

The suggestion to cut the clip on the charge pipe would get rid of the dampener and a mounting point for the fan shroud.

@@HelpMeDIY Mostly just in case others come across it and aren't aware that what it does is basically hold the charge pipe to the fan shroud and mostly dampen vibration noise as well as some extra mounting.
Shit, I've had both these kicking around for nearly a year, was expecting to install the intercooler in like an hour but now I'm reconsidering

Does the radiator fan turn on as soon as the vehicle is started ?

+Austin Bowman pretty sure the answer is no, that it comes on based on temp, but it’s not my car so I can’t go outside and confirm.

Help Me DIY for sure thank u dude. I just replaced my radiator and intercooler and my dads friend was asking me that and gave me some anxiety. But yeah I think when the oil/air temp gets to a certain point it turns on. Thank you !
