Hello,
I've been having issues with random coolant spraying on my engine bay (likely from overfilling of the coolant system recently), but I was looking to get a new radiator soon and was wondering if it's possible to redo all the coolant lines with SS braided hoses if I went with a brand like CSF or Mishimoto since I don't want to have to worry about lines corroding and breaking like the brittle stock lines and I would like some increased cooling capacity. I'm also considering going with a Southwest Bimmers expansion tank or Radium engineering so I can relocate the tank to the right side of the engine bay.
Here's the RealOem outline of the coolant system. I couldn't find one specifically for manual transmission cars, but it states that this one is for DCT or Auto cars.
