Lol so I'm gonna go get some M badges, cuz apparently that makes your car an M3 clone.

Non a/c cars don't have an aux fan since there isn't the obstruction of a condenser in the way of the radiator. Tow a 1500 lbs (or full euro-style and tow 3000lbs - lol) trailer uphill and that aux fan will come on ;D

I actually used to have a trailer. ;) Not 1500lb but heavy enough when it was loaded down. ;)

Never had an issue.

the aux fan wont keep the engine cool by itself

It will if there's no air conditioner condenser in the way (& you re-mount it up against the radiator core).

I'm running an e32 aux fan on my M30 swap & I have no over heating issues. Used to run a 12 inch Mercedes aux fan on my old e21 (smaller than the e30) and it also worked fine.

Huh? It is supposed to do that. Hook it up to a proper sender, of the right Temp, and it will turn itself on and off where it is supposed to.

I have only an electric fan on my car, and the fan is hooked up to a two speed fan switch at 80*c and 88*c. My car sits a hair below center all the time. On the hottest of days, driving hard for hours on end, it never goes over half.

My car also still has ac. The aux fan cools my car just fine all by itself, but I don't live in the smoking hot climates either.

my car (with chinese ebay mishimoto knock off aluminum radiator) runs at 1/4 temp unless i've been sitting in traffic for 10+ minutes.
