Just did this by pulling the air box no need to remove the fan.

[@goybaba]

What about the fan clutch?

[@marcuspfrang6536]

You don't have to remove most of that stuff. Just pull out the air box and you're golden.

[@1AAuto]

+marcus pfrang We appreciate the feedback. Sometimes there are multiple ways to accomplish the same repair.

Can I use a universal coolant reservoir

[@christianlaoagan6878]

BMW, I love driving them but It can also be frustrating working on them. With my X5 and E46

[@kamaalx]

Guys. If your radiator drain plug has a black socket but inside of it is blue, with a phillips head. DO NOT USE A. SOCKET. You will bust crack your radiatior and you WILL have to buy a new one. If its all black like this one you can use a socket. If its blue, use a screw driver. I buster my radiator so I hope no one goes through the same problem as me :)

+Kamaal Thanks for the feedback!

[@kamaalx]

@1AAuto Thank you for all the videos, id be stranded without these

[@DemonSlayer-df4ym]

bent coat hanger works too, when thermostat breaks apart. Make aV shape at the end of a coat hanger and pull the crosshair section

[@mr.fantastic8022]

He pulled out the fan for nothing smh...

[@darylstevens8557]

Where did he replace the manual thermostat

[@paulkile9998]

Why didn't you use the trim tool instead of the side cutters to remove the three push rivets on the air intake snorkel? The forked tool is a much more appropriate method to remove those fasteners as you don't risk cutting the pins.

There are tanks that are made up of aluminum and they are kinda pricey, but it's worth the repair/upgrade.

[@Amanbayanii]

No need of removing the fan and the little screws behind the reservoir, to do this job. They just making people do more to break more and buy more 😂

[@donaldhollums3278]

Okay, I am positively stumped on the fan removal process. I'm working on a 2003 BMW 325i, auto and RWD.
You show in the film of removing the fan clockwise, toward the driver side of the car. From the info I looked up about the engine the engine is supposed to rotate clock-wise, toward the drivers side of the car, so the fan nut will need to be spun counter-clock wise. The rotation of the engine was also confirmed when I bumped the engine a few times with the ignition key and the fan rotated clock wise, towards the driver side of the car. What am I missing?

Why can’t I get my new coolant tank all the way down onto my new mounting plate In order to lock it in was anyone else having trouble with that I been pushing down so hard to lock it in and in a centimeter away and can’t get it and if I just leave it coolant leaks out the bottom of the tank

[@monicahernandez3893]

Same, let me know if u fix it and how. It sucks

[@kimberlypadilla7948]

did you ever get this figured out??

[@user-sk4eg9nw8e]

Ok

[@Mazdaspeed_lifestyle]

Mine looks completely different, I have bungs on the lower portions of my tank. Not what you have on the bottom. I also have electric fans on my 01 325
