damn, i lost my thread i just typed.
anyhow, your link said about $58 for the 3 tools. seems high as some say a tool is available at bike shops and you don't need 2. my '95 used a 32mm.
i only had to use the 32mm thin wrench and a rubber mallet to slap it to loosen viscous fan. the nut is reverse threaded to normal. others have tips on holding the viscous fan and may turn up on a search.
as always look at orientation of old thermostat and if new one has an arrow or hole orient it upward.
you should not need to remove the radiator itself.
as always, bleeding a bmw coolant system of air is a challenge the first time but well worth learning as this is most trouble prone system on car.
on mine, disconnecting the battery cable a few minutes should allow a clearing of codes. as always have your radio code known before disconnecting battery.
on mine, when restarting from a disconnected battery may cause ragged running for a few minutes as computer re-learns settings.
