I never did it but after living in South Florida for 13+ years I would not consider doing it. I always monitor my underhood temps and I would not be comfortable without the fan.

The 2hp gain from the fan delete aren't worth the potential headaches living down here

Dont do it man, I had a fan clutch start to wear on me and would over heat once in a while... on the roads it gets well over 100 degrees... BMWs have aluminum heads = easy to crack.

Just bought 94 325i mint! Been looking for awhile for e36 convertible but living in New England found people dont take care of them. I have a problem with engine fan blades breaking into radiator. Hasnt busted my radiator yet but car is parked. Is it safe to take the blade off? And how much damage is done from blade to waterpump? Im a virgin with e36 and first problem with car. My cherry is popped
