Since my fan kamikazied my radiator, I’m doing everything on the front end at once. Got to the water pump today and put the new one in. I’m glad I did this preemptively since the engine still had a plastic one. Also picked up a new fan from Napa and got the new control arms in. Started taking it off and realized I need a 22mm wrench. Oh well, still waiting on the control arm bushings anyway. Should get them and the tie rods soon. Went ahead and ordered motor mounts and a new accessory belt as well today.
So still to do:
Thermostat
New radiator and hoses
Control arms
Tie rods
Motor mounts
Motor mount bracket reinforcements
Accessory belt
New fan
Wire secondary fan to be always on
Weld in rear trailing arm reinforcement
Should be doable in two weeks.

I’m pretty sure I made a thread on bimmerforums on how to wire in another fan with its own relay circuit. It would have been years ago but I honestly think there is no real need for it.
If your car’s mechanical fan and aux fan aren’t enough to prevent overheating, you have much bigger problems than a constantly on fan can mask.
PS: don’t get a lower thermostat. Stick with the OE 91C one
Lemme know if you need any guidance. Always glad to impart knowledge

Give me knowledge that will make me comfortable with a high mileage E36 M3. Only ones I can find around me.

Way too broad a question there. Show me a specific car and I can work with that.
My E36 is at 165k miles

This one is literally up the street from me. I pass it when I go to work. Price seems high for an auto. I’d swap a 5MT in asap.
