Dear BMW Guru's,
I know there have been a few posts of elec fan installs etc which I have searched on this board and others accross the www but I have not been able to find one that tells you 100% what you need to get the job done.
I have a 2002 E39 M5 and I want to replace the engine fan with a elec one I also want to be able to set the fan to switch on at 160F so I need a adjustable one.
There have been several posts about this. The one I am thinking to follow is by M5Stalker posted on 7th April 2007

He used Perma Cool #19115 16" High Performance Electric Fan and #18905 Wiring Kit (Adjustable 160 - 210 degree F Thermal Switch).
I have sourced these parts from alamomotorsports and wish to order..
Just wondering if I need anything else then the fan and wiring kit with Adjustable Thermal switch?
Questions that come up are: Can I use the original thermostat???
Anything else I should do or know or need? As I want the exact items that I need and nothing more or less to get the job done.
I am located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.. where we have temp over 55C in summer. We have our own little club website and my post on the local website is here:
