E32 air-con fan....

Danthe can supply a suitable loom if you ask him properly,you will need either a radiator with a boss for the temp probe or do what I did and make up something like this;

Should be as close as possible to the radiator.

The middle part of the fan where the motor is, is about a fag papers thickness from the front valance! It is awesome though. IIRC, one side was ok but the other side needed a small bracket to attach it.

The front mounted aircon fans were only on later E36's i think? Might be wrong though
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

6 pot E36's to be precise, most 4 pots tend to have a pull fan in the engine bay
