That’s a little too ballsy for my blood on public roads! Lol. I will try to, or possibly a 2/3/4 pull.

In other words, the fan doesn't go down any further, but you can pull it upwards and out.

Appreciate the input.
Thanks! I found this pic from an old thread for a different intercooler that does a good job showing one of the clips. Looking from underneath the car, the clips are on the left and right side of the intercooler. If you squeeze on the tab where the arrow is pointing to, the clip will release. It comes out by pulling straight down. After removing both, the whole radiator/fan assembly will drop down an inch or so making it easier to slip the intercooler in. once the intercooler is in, install the screws to hold the intercooler in place, then push up on the bottom of the intercooler and everything will move up. While pushing up, reinstall the clips. Also, pushing up on the radiator when removing the clips makes it easier to un-snap the clips before removing them.

One other thing to keep in mind is some 1 series owners needed to shave down the mount for the outdoor temp sensor. Would be easy to do with a dremel, but I didn’t need to shave it down. I will upload a pic as soon as I get it.
