Part 1, I replaced the Expansion Tank
Part 2, I installed a Lower Temperature Thermostat
Part 4, I replace the Radiator
Part 5, I install a custom aux fan
In a weird design choice, BMW installed a mechanical fan on a car with an electronic thermostat. I already fixed the thermostat; now, i need to address the fan. The mechanical fan can fail in catastrophic fashion, wastes power, cost fuel mileage, and is a pain to remove for engine work. I decided to replace it with a Spal electric fan.
The install is pretty easy once you know what wires go where to power the fan relay. This is essentially the same for all E39s except the V8 cars (M62B44 and M62B44TU) can run an 18 inch fan while the I6 cars (M52B25, M52B28, M54B25, and M54B30)can only fit a 16. I am so thrilled with this install. It has worked perfectly, and I can not recommend it enough.

Any inline 30 amp fuse will work and any 40 amp 4 post relay will work. The rest is just wire and crimp connectors.
