I've just about finished my M50 conversion and I'm running the 328i radiator. I have a kenlowe fan bolted up but I haven't finished the wiring. I'm about to order a thermo switch that bolts in the side of the radiator, which is the best temperature range switch to go for? I was thinking 97/85, but any advice would be great.

On/Off
87/82
97/85
100/95
107/97

Here's where I found them...
