Jeff, Do you have a link to what sensor you used ?
Brian, thanks a ton. I think I am going to start with a pusher but if there are issues, I will move it to puller.
My pusher works really well, but in summer (like last summer, my car over heated ALOT. 90+ all summer... I wanna switch to puller. but my damn clutch fan won't release.

Brian, I just ordered the tool for the fan and can help you get that off.
These radiators really lose a lot of flow when they age. I never overheated in day to day driving but the car was HOT on the track. A new radiator is being ordered as part of this build.
When new, the rads work very good and they are only about 175 bucks new.

I have a brand new radiator in the 535I. still warms up. I got my radiator for $100 shipped. Autopartswarehouse= direct fit, not a single problem. rad showed up, no fins bent, nothin.

I ran a 16" pusher in front of my m20 radiator with the m50 swap, rarely need to use it But its a great thing to have in case.
Would have ran it as a puller, but it wouldn't fit between the radiator and the motor..... Lol.
Sent from the future. Or my phone, who knows.

I'm using this switch BMW# 61318361787 and just took out the mech fan. It's 80/88 degree C instead of 91/99 C. Only comes on low speed occasionally when idling for a long time in hot weather. Easy and only need to buy the different switch.
Edit: I should clarify, mostly stock M50 with 88c thermostat. Usually runs about 195 - 200 F on autometer gauge at factory sender location in head. Never seen it above 210 even idling in very hot weather.
