There's not much point on doing an electric fan conversion on any E30 that has room for the standard viscous unit, but if you want to keep your BMW pure and uncontaminated by F**d crap, then the aircon fan from E34s and 7 series of a similar age will fit in nicely.

Wonder if the air-con fan from M43 engined E36's would also suit?

Very probably, but I haven't had one come my way yet.

Was looking at one yesterday - looks a very likely candidate, but hard to judge precisely without trying it. e36's have soooo much more space available in the engine compartment.
