Yeah, I have heard about such problems with the BM150. I know some have tried electric fans from other cars successfully. Is there not another one out there for us to use? I was looking at some of the Dual fan options that BM had on their website, but I haven't taken measurements yet to see if it would fit.........Some have also mentioned using the BM150 with a low profile one that comes on with the A/C, plus using the 180 t-stat (which I use the 180 in spring/summer/fall)
