The checked catalogs support the listed electric-fan chains. They do not make pusher, puller and mechanical-fan configurations interchangeable.
Fitment
Inspect the actual vehicle and VIN catalog. Automatic and manual cars, early and late production, M3/non-M and A/C configurations can use different fan layouts. Diagnose power, ground, control signal, temperature inputs, shroud clearance, clutch and blade condition before ordering.
Aftermarket options
OEM electric assemblies, OE-quality aftermarket fans and engineered conversion kits exist. A universal slim fan or probe-controller kit is not an automatic substitute for BMW electronic fan control.
Before you buy
This is a configuration-identification guide, not a universal fan-delete recommendation. Confirm VIN, engine, transmission, production date, A/C and installed layout. Special-order or ship-time language does not guarantee inventory.
