        Audi A4 97-2005. You can buy OEM or buy it from this guy that I bought it from. $17 shipped and it works well.

              Nice! That's cheap and probably quieter. And probably designed to turn at higher revs.

                I just double checked and that is exactly what we ordered... so you must have some other euro fan then :)

                  Not sure which e30 clutch fan I have but it's the one with the four bolts not three. The one with three doesn't work because the clutch fan is bigger and it won't fit through the hole. I believe it's an m42 clutch fan though. But yes the clutch fan is OEM BMW not the fan though.

                        M42 radiator
                        Would the e30 clutch + audi fan combo clear the m20 rad? Im not running a fan atm, and I still have my e30 fan clutch, so if it would clear the m20 rad i'd go that route asap.

                        This is how much clearance I have, enough?





                        Last thing I want is my fan to blow up in the rad..

                          I believe the m20 radiator is thinner than the m42 radiator. So it should fit. Regardless, looks like you have plenty of room there, I bit more room than I do. It should work.

                              Thread revive here, but for your guys running the 16" SPAL as a pusher, are you running A/C as well? Thanks!

                                iI completely eliminated my AC and running 16 spal pusher. works great. In the Seattle area AC is just a luxury and since my e30 is a vert is already has built in AC, the cool seatle air.
