EDIT: I would be very pleased if one of the high-performance radiator manufacturing companies made a true performance radiator for the BMW NA SULEVs. There are hundreds-of-thousands of them.

That sucks! I wonder if any of the tuning companies makes a bypass for that sensor...
I did more research, it seems I need the pipe coming out of the water pump from the auto cars, and the pipe bridging from a fitting on that pipe to the heat exchanger. But I'll look at my engine tomorrow and see what I really need. RealOEM isn't helping (it thinks my engine has the heat exchanger).
