havent posted in a while or been on. but aids walk this past weekend in LA, support support... with the exception of the good ol infamous shredding of 3 fan blades on the way there and the need for a new radiator and a tow back to redondo. :sigh:

to top that off, my neighbor backed her jeep into the car yesterday O_o... great. the car was already like the guy already beat down on the ground, and she just had to kick em' in the balls once more.

anywho... should be an interesting next few days... weeks....

How did the fan blade die? Old age? NOT NICE.

The jeep backing into you that is double not nice.

So very sorry for your BMW pain.

Radiator should be easy to replace you will need a big thin 22mm wrench and huge flat blade screw driver or the special tool set on ebay for $30?
Fan nut is loosen clockwise as you face the engine! Draw the belt pattern before removing to put it back correctly, you can do it wrong!

Sorry to hear, look into the euro fan when replacing your system.

The most common cause of fan blade failure is bad water pump or fan clutch bearings. The second most common cause is mechanical damage to the fan, usually when doing repairs on the front of the engine.
