Crapola! Had this happen to me on my e36. I'm getting this ultra high performance brushless fan conversion for my 3.0. The fans are awesome, the owner is awesome, and the price is pretty stinking good considering the caliber of fan your getting. Pulls less amps while running than conventional fans, has full ecu control for two fans or you can buy the individual components. Tell John Ryan sent you!
