what is the right radiator cap pressure for an 82 320i? BMW specifies a 14 LB/1 Bar cap. But the auto parts shop databases call for a 16 LB cap.
I'm more interested in longevity and reliability than performance. Josh/Los Angeles __________________ This post was auto-generated based upon a question asked on our tech article page here: Pelican Technical Article: BMW 3-Series E36 Cooling System Flush |

I don't have the exact specs on this particular cap, but the correct part number is 17-11-1-100-848. The one we sell is manufactured by Reutter, and is a high quality brand that should be the correct pressure for your car. In general, the difference between 14 and 16 is probably not going to make too much of a difference.
