Need help locating correct cooling fan

Car is a 2007 PRE LCI 328i E92 with N52 engine and manual transmission. Fan bearing sounds bad (almost like a diesel) and there is some wobble. Definitely want to avoid catastrophe.
On bimmer.work VIN decoder, it says my car is hot climate version.

Many combinations can be found on retailer sites, none of which seem to fit my vehicle:
N51 with tow pkg only
N52 600 watt auto trans only
n52 400 watt auto trans only
It seems they are very specific between trans/body/wattage types

I have asked several different websites who have pointed me to different models which I am reluctant to order, install and deal with return policies when/if the product doesn't fit/work. These fans aren't cheap, and i'd much rather be putting the coin towards headers

The latest one referred to me was this one at Pelican. It lists specific models, but not E92 with N52.

Has anyone ran into this trouble before?
What about non OEM fans? They seem to be $100-$200 cheaper and come with warranty.
My car was before refresh so maybe the part number got updated/changed Any help is greatly appreciated!

Put your vin into realoem.com and it will list the radiator fan options for your car

Here's what it pulled up, pretty confusing as it looks like the only one that would be relevant is the one with the 'trailer coupling' which I assume is a tow package?

Plus that part # on oembimmerparts say it is for auto trans only

Just order the 600w fan then # 17427562080. it runs in a closed loop through PWM - and they will all "fit" your car.
