That's a good price but I'm not sure if I would go the cheap route on something so important. I would go with a Behr or Bosch for $200.

Correct. Right now im just digging for manual part-outs
-
I will be doing this conversion soon. The factory fan decided to explode and took out the belt.
So I ordered this fan https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...57-17117561758. Also new pulleys and belts.

My 100$ fan is still going strong after about 2 years

Sorry to hear Vas. I did the fan delete and no issues.

Bumping an old thread. For those that have done this mod, is everything still working fine? No issues? As some of you know, I just purchased a 155K mile step auto, and I did a good bit of quick cosmetic refreshing, and now I'm starting in on the mechanical (pulleys, cooling, fan, etc). I'd rather go this route than replacing the mechanical fan parts.
Thanks!

I did this over a year ago on a 2004 330xi with a Behr fan. Works fine, but I live in the Northeast without any traffic to speak of.

There are a lot of opinions on this in an automatic but I subscribe to the fact that the factory put it there for a reason so I just replaced my fan clutch and fan blade and never looked back. Many members have done it and had no issues but the steptronic is a fragile piece if you overheat it...

No issues whatsoever for over 12 months for me. What sold me was Gary's old ZHP had no issues with this mod in the heat of Vegas.

Thanks for the feedback, fellas. I ordered the fan. I'm going to give it a shot. It sure won't have any trouble keeping cool this week. Brr.
