Hi Roberto,

If it is the 32mm long spanner you are looking for in order to remove the viscous fan I have these in stock. Genuine BMW item, they are €24.95.

See link below to 32mm fan coupling spanner in question :

If you require this type of dismount tool then I have these also, they are €47.32.

See link below to fan coupling too :

Removing the fan makes life a lot easier and will shorten the time taken.

EDIT : Apologies just seen this is questions is related to E46's... Bloody E36's on the brain.


Hope this helps,

Cab
