lol... in 2018 I think a viscous fan is doable without needing to notch the subframe :) That said, in the pics there, it looks to have held up ok with the M30 twisting on it (I wonder how long it was on the road for?)
Thinking about refitting my AC, and been looking at modding an e60 radiator to fit a viscous fan... with mods to the end tanks it should fit and be around half an inch slimmer than the ubiquitous e28 radiator we all use for M30 swaps. No mods to the e30 chassis required ;)Last edited by lukeADE335i; 06-10-2018, 05:42 AM.

^ i was at the same junkyard i think and saw his engine piled with other junk engine in a bin. Saw all the plated bolts and knew it was his right away.
Clean looking car but he probably hit something and didn't want any i told you so's and never posted again. Good history right here.
oh yea. wups. my homie posted it. :D
maybe he busted the oil pan first and spun out. that's like a 3'' notch closer to the ground. BANGLast edited by LowR3V'in; 06-10-2018, 05:42 PM.

Ouch - perhaps it bump steered like mad then, it's not like an M30 swap is THAT powerful that you can't control the car! Then again, if he were on 318i suspension the front would have been pretty floaty with the 45mm struts etc.
If you were to attempt something similar today, it'd be pretty straight forward with subframe spacers, and a bump steer correction kit (like a V8 swap).
