Links don't work for me, but a 320is will have an electric fan in front of the rad like the M3.

Simon's right, it should have an electric fan infront of the rad, only the USA spec cars had clutch fans.

That's because it's in front of the rad.

Ok...Simon...good one....between the rad and engine...no fan...

If you go with the airflow....the fan must be behind the rad...then the engine. grill...rad...fan...engine....I THINK :mad: :mad:

unless your are reversing ofcourse..... :cool: :cool: :cool:

Nope... it goes FAN - RADIATOR - ENGINE - on a 320iS. It's on a 'blow' mode where it blows the air into the radiator from the front, and if it was sited behind the rad - like a viscous fan - it would pull the air through the radiator.

There's two black ones... one 4 door and one 2 door...

Both in need of some TLC by the looks of it.

With a bit of time and a few choice parts, the 4-door one would be a real sleeper!

Recaros, BBS's and a dechrome would really finish it off!

The 2-door looks like it's had a harder life.
