You are quite correct, I just realized that when standing still and the electrical fans engage the airflow from the electrical fans makes the visco fan(with bmw blades) stad almost still. Closer inspection revealed that the blades on the BMW fan is not the same as mercedes.

Ok so now I have two options, since I already purchased a new clutch for a S320 M104 I couls fit S320 fan blades, would these blades work in your opinion to draw enough air?

I live in south africa, so ordering from fastlane I do not think it is possible?
