Thumbs up
On the W126 at least, the dual fan mounts are different on the condenser... meaning the late condenser only works with the dual fans.

Hope it helps.

BTW, big issue is the M103 cars have a puny fan blade so low speed airflow over the condenser is comical at best. Yes, even the 'updated' fan is crap. Compare that fan blade to the BMW M30 fan from an E32 or E34 and you will see the difference.

I tried to fit my SDL's fan blade and while it bolted up, the blades are pitched the wrong direction. I looked at it forever and could not find a simple retrofit sadly. This alone would make a huge difference on the M103 cars as they have a puny radiator too.
