If your car overheats or gets hot in traffic the engine bay fan whether it’s a fan clutch or electric converted fan is not going to prevent you from overheating lol. Check your auxiliary main fan. Also referred to as the AC fan. This is the life force of the e36. Have you asked yourself how fast that fan clutch you just installed is turning at idle and how much of a differnce it made and how much air it’s pushing thru to actually provide any cooling at idle ? I hope anyone else who reads this gets educated by all this typing. It’s a common misconception that the engine bay mounted electric fan/fan clutch is required to keep a car from getting hot. Most people don’t pay attention to the auxiliary fan doing all the cooling and heavy lifting !!! Get yourself an 80c thermostat and 80c aux fan switch(sensor located on passenger side of radiator) and you’ll never even need a fan clutch or any additional electric fan. The ac fan either comes on by when the air conditioning is turned on OR when the engine heat hits a set threshold. Peace

How much did you buy the car for and where did you find it?

You need to remove the mechanical fan, it’s very dangerous. It will get damaged if you hit a hard bump and when it melts down it can take several cooling system components with it, plus it can also damage your hood. Convert to an electric ASAP.

That actually happened on my white M3 before turbo😬. Put dents on the hood, cracked/chipped the paint and killed the radiator aswell as the AC. The culprit was the plastic shield for the fan.

@@alexkichigin I just restored a 99’ M3 convertible to showroom condition. By ditching the dangerous mechanical fan you also gain about 15hp (less drag on the water pump and the engine). Actually, even if you run the AC, you can get by with just the aux fan, unless you live in a hot city where you sit in traffic for hours. If that’s the case you need both fans.

The condenser got a hole in it from the fan blade. Man I would love to see it, you have Instagram?
