Fanatics with manual trans: How many cooling fans?

Tangent_ · 01-12-2010, 06:37 PM

If you drive a manual trans (from the factory) E46, do you have only the single electric fan behind the radiator, or do you have a pusher fan also?

A couple of people on another forum are insisting that manual E46s have (or can have) pusher fans. I just want to put that to rest.

Both my 325Ci and 330Ci have only had the one by the rad.

Redline · 01-16-2010, 12:50 PM

would the pusher fan make any difference if we had it? i dont have one...just one fan behind the radiator...manual transmission.

punkster · 01-18-2010, 06:59 AM

There's a thread somewhere stating diesels have the pusher fan. The 330d I think.
