    "96" Z3-overheating Problem Solved! Thanks Y'all!

    Just wanted to give kudos to all of you who helped me out. I ended up changing the waterpump, fan clutch, t-stat & belts. Not sure which one was the actual problem but they were all over due & for the $225 in parts (online) it was money well spent. Thanks to all & to all a good night.

    that wasnt my question.

    What i was asking is: While he was at all the replacing of water pumps and stuff did he go ahead and do the fan delete. with all the new parts he put in there is no reason for it to overheat with the fan delete kit.
