Hmm bummer. Odd this is the first I'm hearing of this, but it makes sense.Originally Posted by WOLFN8TR
The Aux fan needs to be removed when this mod. Remove the mechanical fan, install the electrical fan and plug it into where the auxiliary fan used to be and remove the auxiliary fan.
If you leave the auxiliary fan installed it just blocks airflow to the radiator which is not a good thing.

It's really easy. Two big bolts underneath and 8mm head screws in the fenderwell and underneath. Maybe 15-20 min to remove

Yep super easy. Just lay down something to protect the bumper from getting scratched. If you can get a friend to help it makes it way easier.
One thing you also have to remember about doing this mod is the Auto transmission is cooled via the radiator so you want as much air flow as possible. There is a Tstat down on the left side for the transmission, I replaced mine when doing this mod as well.

Any recommendations for a front end bra for the ZHP? Not sure if I want to go with the clear bra or vinyl, if you have any experience with a vinyl one let me know!

Hmmm, I don't NOT recommend it, and as said I do use mine for road trips (my hesitancy is that it doesn't cover the whole front). You can actually get one custom made for big bucks). I bought mine from the e46fanatics classifieds. I have seen them online but I can remember from who. If I do I will update.

I'm tempted to get the software update since it's only $120. So my question is if I decide to get back to stock BMW software, is it possible? If it is then any idea how much it would cost?

What software are you running now?
I wasn't impressed with the DInan Stage 3 software I had in my car... I couldn't tell the difference

Stock software from the factory. This Dinan software is just their basic performance software which raises the engine rpm limit by 240rpm and they specify HP gain of 4HP, which I wouldn't notice I'm sure. But they also say it makes the throttle response better so if the response is similar to a shark injector, then I was thinking at this price maybe it would be worth it...
