The radiator was one that Reg Dodd recommended, a '96 M3 radiator, which is a little longer (about an inch) than the standard BMW 325 radiator. The shroud is a stock BDR 16" fan shroud, also recommended by Reg. I don't have photos yet, I'll try to get some. And I'll check the voltage at the fan as recommended. Since my old radiator leaked a bit, I think this one holds better pressure, and that may have an effect on the temps I'm seeing. As long as they don't go much above 95 I'll be ok with it, I'm just not sure what the first hot day is going to bring.

It is a puller fan and it is turning in the correct direction.

So a 30 amp fuse should work okay for this install, as long as there are 13 volts at the motor when the fan is on?

Thanks!
