No one makes this car anymore. The government won't allow them, normal people won't buy them. So it's up to us: the freaks, the weirdos, the informed. To buy them, to appreciate them, and most importantly, to drive them.

I did this at the end of last year, and my switch works well. I could see if you lose a little coolant, than the fan might not turn on, but you can always trigger it with the A/C switch. I noticed some pick up for sure (I'm 99% my mechanical fan was stuck on). My only concern is going to be when I fix the A/C this year, as there is no "aux" fan any more, but the electric fan can run double duty.The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

Last summer crawling at 108 deg with the a/c on in traffic. And the needle never went past halfway or 205* head temp from the data stream. But I have my a/c wired in on the high speed side since the resistor on the fan was bad. Other than that it's flawless. Factory e-fan ftwYou say "Where are your other two cylinders?"
