    Does anyone have a fan that will install WITHOUT removing the radiator? And how does that diesel fan look in there?

              Anybody have experience mounting this fan to a normal E30 clutch? http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...=11&fg=35&hl=6

              Real oem says fan blades are only in conjunction with 11522245498 clutch

                  Does anyone have an answer to this question?

                  It seems the euro clutch mounts with three bolts. I'm wondering if an M50 three bolt fan clutch will do the trick (PN 11527505302).

                      As I've recently had to counqur this same problem I'll tell you what I did. M42 clutch fan (4 bolt) & early model E30 fan. I'm running stock 325i radiator. It's tight but it's the same setup I've been running for 5 years. Under HARD braking (stupid prius drivers) it'll touch, but I've ordered 'tranny hats' from AKG (got to love car lingo) & will report my results.
