Radiator fan replacement

The bearings on my fan are on their way our and very noisey so need to replace it before it gives up, but the part from BMW is £450!!!

Anyone know if there is a cheaper option? Found plenty of "universal" fans advertised on t'interweb but they are A LOT cheaper so i am concerned (pretty certain actually) they wont be compatible.

Are my only options to have my pants pulled down by the stealers or try and source a second hand unit from a breakers?

Id rather replace with new rather than second hand. Does that mean my only option is giving £450 to BMW?
 
Where would i obtain tested used one?
£100 sounds much more like it.

Do you know of a source or is a case of trawling breakers yards for one?
 
If anyone knows the part number I’m after (or knows how to go about finding it ) would be much appreciated.

I’ve still got a fan pack that I bought in error due to the fault with my car being unrelated to the fan. It’s as-new but was hooked up briefly to the car of another forum member, bmwaddict, who also had a problem elsewhere but can probably attest to its condition!

Here is the original for sale thread. £200 - it’s in my parts warehouse (parents’ garage) in Aylesbury if that happens to be somewhere convenient for you?

Hah, cheers man. Much as I wanted to keep the thing... it had basically become a member of the family.
