Advice/Help,Anyone, Please.

Hi mwtrogus,
Car is looking good with your ongoing Mods and the bigger Intercooler.
Did you change your fan also?

I am thinking of upgrading my Intercooler(6rows to 8rows) and Fan(400w to 600w) before Chipping. I asked BMW (always Q. there advice) which one to start with and they said Fan.

I am after some brief advice on what the functions of the Intercooler-Radiator and fan are. eg. Engine water heat goes to Intercooler and is cooled down then to Radiator and if getting hotter, Fan comes on to cool down. Just a basic idea.
Cant remember where but one comment was, too bigger Fan might not allow engine to heat to required temp. Maybe that's if you live in snow/winter area.

I live in Tropical area and would have thought an improved Intercooler and Fan would be better all round.
Just trying to find peace of mind, Thanks.
