    Aux fan support, forward of radiator. Structural? Add rigidity?

    I tried searching guys, couldn’t find what I wanted to know.
    I am trying to lighten my e36 m3
    Im debating whether I should remove the support or not to simplify my front end and save weight. Does it add front end rigidity? If so, I’ll be keeping it

    The front aux fan does not add any structural rigidity to the chassis.

    That being said, are you still on the factory clutch fan or did you convert to e-fan?
