Fan Shroud

Post by davidvincent »

Hi all

My 320/6 doesn't have a shroud on the rad fan - my thoughts are that this will of course reduce the volume of air drawn through the rad, and could aid overheating.

Please could you tell me if you have a shroud on yours? I wonder if they are available....

Thanks
David

These were not fitted on E21's, later models like the E30 did have them though.

I see... I'm sure I read somewhere about them being fitted to some models, can't remember were though.

Still seems like a good idea though!

Even though I can't remember ever having seen one in the flesh, ETK lists them for the M10 engine. But I'm sure they weren't there for the M20, also not in ETK. But I agree, since the M20 is much more sensitive to temperature issues it might have added value in warmer climates.
