Fan delete mod e36
I'm thinking of doing this (and replacing the waterpump while im at it) over the winter. Has anyone done this before? Looks fairly simple minus the loosening of the electric fan, since I think BMW designed a tool to aid in removal.
And you don't need the special fan tool. A big screwdriver or allen key will do the job. Just jam it between two of the bolts while you turn with the wrench.
