Fan mounts will be the least of my worries.
But yeah, it's a bit thicker than stock, which at a minimum causes great difficulty in the already tight space of a 135i automatic convertible with a 7" VSRF intercooler, and most likely will involve some cutting / fabrication to fit.

Maybe. Your intercooler has to be removed to remove or install the radiator, so it doesn't really affect getting the radiator in place.
I found it very helpful (essential actually) to remove the oil cooler hoses from the filter housing to free up some space for the installation. If they are still attached, I suggest starting there.
