I’ve got Mishimoto’s X-Line radiator. It’s an absolute beast of a rad. I’ve had mine for 7 years of daily driving and track days, and I’ve had zero problems with it. I fully expect it to last for the life of my M3.
Not everyone has great things to say about Mishimoto rads, but from what I can tell their X-Line rads are built very well.
Mishimoto, despite it being overpriced, does not have plastic parts.
2012 Golf R (FSI) and just recently had a Mishimoto radiator installed. Car behaves normally on the road but the first track event after having it installed it got very warm (about halfway between normal and red zone on factory gauge) and actually spit out some coolant under the hood I found once back in the paddock. Shop has checked everything out, re-bled the system and found no air but does start to get hot under sustained boost. Funny thing is I track the car heavily and never had this issue on the OEM radiator, also the water pump was recently changed with timing service and has less than 1000 miles on it.
my mishimoto looks in really good shape with some pretty decent welds imo.
Mishimoto has been working great for me.
I blew my stock one around 60,000km, then the STI replacement around 100,000km. Fixed the issue with a Mishimoto aluminum rad.
especially NOT a mishimoto. that shit is junk and i speak from experience.
Stay away from Mishi. That is certified garbage juice.
i've never really heard good things about mishimoto's fitment and for 500 bucks you could find better mods to do.
Mishimoto radiators aren’t the best. IIRC, a lot of their stuff comes the same factory as a lot of eBay brands.
