Radiators are EASY, just make sure you get the right parts for the tranny coolant lines. I had to replace the entire tranny coolant lines when I replaced my radiator on my 95 318 :-(
New Modine radiator is prolly less than $200, you can do it yourself... just watch those tranny coolant lines.

Don't put a flexalite flex fan too close to your radiator. I've seen them flex right into the radiator when the engine revs up. Cuts a real nice circle in the rad. The fan blades bend forward when RPM's increase. NASCAR boys tried them once and had the same problem you described.
