Just been looking at the electric fans on my e30 335 and im thinking they cant be right, when putting your hand either side its hard to tell which way there actually blowing.

Basically there mounted infront of the rad (between rad and grill) so they want to be a pusher fan blowing air through rad into engine bay side. To me it looks like the fans are spinning the correct direction but the blades need turning round because of the curved/concave design.

Here a picture of them, looking at them in the pics they spin clockwise

Look like puller fans to me, fitted back to front. Pretty much useless TBH

After looking at other pusher fans, to me it looks like if i can turn the fan blades round in there casing then they'll work/look the same as the ones ive seen

You wont be able to turn those blades around

These are good value though -
